"If you want to understand the brutality of American capitalism, you have to start on the plantation."
"Why doesn't the United States have universal health care? The answer begins with policies enacted after the Civil War."
- acdha 7y agoThat seems like quite a stretch: neither of those is a global statement, simply an accurate summary of how the culture in one particular country developed. Most countries with universal healthcare are capitalist to a large degree so it seems pretty clear that an explanation for the difference between, say, the U.S. and Canada is going to have a different answer than “capitalism!”.
