    been considered science fiction only a few decades ago.

    Feel free to show us the “infinite” resources you have access to any time you feel like, Clyde.

    That’s doing more with less.

    No. We are doing more with more. The rate at which our industries are churning through resources would have been unimaginable to anyone a century ago… and so would the wastage it creates.

    private ownership - free exchange of goods

    Try not to get entangled in logical contradictions in the very same sentence, Clyde. When everything is privately owned, it’s only the private owners that gets to engage in a “free exchange of goods.”

    the most wealthy with low poverty.

    And the fact that these countries are all beneficiaries of hundreds of years of hyper-violent colonialism has nothing to do with any of this, of course.

    It is if the thing you’re worried

    No, I’m actually not worried about it. The “overpopulation” myth is right-wing propaganda and nothing else - it’s the ravenous and utterly parasitic profiteering of capitalists themselves that are driving over-consumption. Not the world’s poor.

    Legal rights are a luxury good, unfortunately. Kinda seems like capitalism is in fact required.

    So you are fine with your modern-day feudalism… as long as your capitalist overlords throws slightly more crumbs your way than they do everybody else.
