The rose in spring
False Dichotomy
Then using the capitalist bible, the quality of life was thrown to crap as the common man began to experience a way of life far less meaningful and far more demanding than that which was beforehand.
Before the capitalist system, we had peasants who lived very short lives, no industry and at the time, there were violent imperialist wars that stemmed directly from mercantilism.
So we replaced it with "free men" living very short lives, and industry that served the privilaged. There are violent nationalist wars that stem directly from capitalism's war with communism. Additionally, we have wars for oil, for the sake of industry, and yet call it something else.

Capitalism and the industrial revolution brought many great things to us at the expense of the common man who payed for it in sweat and blood for the profit of their masters. Even to this day we run off of the cheap labor of underpayed oversea workers.
As I said, before the industrial revolution, there was nothing for the common man. Poverty was rampant
Life on a farm working for a nobleman who had your safety in interest because it benefitted him is better than a system in which the worker is inherently worthless, and replaceable.

Capitalism is unstable because the top will always profit, and the issue of this is that if the top always gains, then the bottom always loses. Eventually, the bottom will have nothing, while the top will have everything, and at that point, who is capitalism working for?
Did you not read any of my posts? There are so many cases where the poor get rich and the rich get poor under capitalism. The rich remain rich while the poor remain poor when the government interferes so that the rich stay rich during situations that would normally bankrupt them such as the auto industry bailouts in the 1980's or the bank bailouts in 2008. There needs to be a cleansing of the wealthy in order to circulate ideas.
A cleansing of the wealthy on any scale beneficial to the common man will be brought with nothing less than bloodshed.
And as for the rich falling, it just so happens that the trend of the rich getting richer far outpaces the rich losing it.
I'm sure you've seen this before, if not, I suggest you take a long, hard, contemplative look at it.
