Capitalism has almost eliminated all human missery, we are talking about it being a reasonable goal that by 2035 the should be no humans living at less than a dollar (adjusted for inflation) a day. In the last 15 years that number was cut in half, and it stayed mostly constant from 1900 to 1960 despite the fact that the worlds population grew massively. The only reason you can even write that is that you have no idea what human missery was before Capitalism.
