Bu what metric does that system work though? It’s hard to judge it because the info is all unreliable and the government doesn’t share data. We don’t know how bad or good wealth inequality is there.

I answered your question but you didn't answer mine.

By what metric does the US system work?

[–] pulaskiwasright@lemmy.ml -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Standard of living is relatively high in the U.S.

Is that because of bourgeois representative democracy, or because of the imperialist exploitation of the global south?

How do you define "working"? Otherwise I don't know how you're measuring it. Would you say that a system that allows for literally one of the most unpopular genocides in history is "working"? Or a system that is working overtime to increase income and wealth disparity rather than reduce it? Is that working? I certainly wouldn't but I'm guessing you think that's working swell
