Capitalism Gives Us the Freedom to Starve

Don't believe the indoctrination: the "freedom" of capitalism
How wonderful that people have the right to choose what healthcare they receive and provide. People have the freedom to choose to go to medical school, to buy inadequate healthcare or none at all.

I'm sure people like Bill Gates enjoy that freedom immensely.

What about those of us who cannot afford a medical education or health care? What about people who have to choose between an operation and starvation? Do these people enjoy that "freedom?"

The same goes for food. People are starving across the world, and yet there is enough food and means of transportation to ensure that everyone is fed.

Capitalist economics would claim that these people just didn't value food enough for them to be fed.

The fact is the only thing keeping these people in starvation is the lack of a specific type of paper, which is green in this country.

Another "freedom" provided by capitalism is the ability to choose where you work. But for many people that means a choice of working a horrible job or being evicted. That doesn't sound like freedom. Actually, it is wage slavery. LINK
