    I didn’t say wealth was evenly distributed. But poor countries don’t have the welfare state that G7 countries do.

    I’m not smug, you’re deluded enough to think you know what living under a communist system is like while living in a liberal democracy and ignoring all the economic data that disagrees with you.

    Quite frankly, I’ve seen enough of your badgering of people with shite sources to realise you’re just an idiot tankie or troll.

    Here’s some data that you’ll ignore

      That data was really interesting and does seem to show that wealth is being progressively transferred upwards after WW2.

      I read somewhere recently that since 1945 $50 trillion had been earned by top 1% while wages have remained relatively flat for working people.

      There are tent cities all over G7 countries right now. People literally go bankrupt in US when they get sick. Children in UK can’t get full nutrition. Meanwhile, I grew up in USSR, so I think I know what it’s like to live under a communist system a lot better than some ignoramus from UK.
