    Don’t tell the people of Lemmy that capitalism and global trade are a large reason for the decline in overall poverty though.

        Lol.

        Before capitalism and free trade, 90% of the global population was in extreme poverty. It’s now down to 10%.

        Since China and other countries ended communism, poverty has declined faster than at any other point in human history.
