>It really is remarkable how efficient capitalism is at ensuring that proles are born with nothing and die with nothing. Compared to what?

  Who says he's comparing it to anything? Maybe the remark is not about contrasting capitialism to some other system, but more about comparing its purported benefits to its actual outcome.

    Wouldn't that mean it's less of a capitalism problem and more of a problem generally since it hasn't been solved in any other economic system in practice?

    He does, 'efficient' is a relative term.
