You just described communism perfectly.
EVERYONE is dirt poor, except the few ruling elite who are wealthy.
As far as capitalism goes, you couldn't be further off the mark.
In a true capitalist society there are some wealthy barons of industry, but everyone who works hard and earns it enjoys a very high standard of living, and are considered extremely wealthy by those in communist countries.
Those who cannot support themselves are taken care of by private charity in the communities.
It is historically the most successful and rewarding economic system ever employed. The exact opposite is true of communism.
Remember in 1959 when Khrushchev visited the United States for the first time and asked for a tour of the fabled "US supermarket" where people could buy anything they wanted?
He considered it propaganda and was shocked when they walked into a real supermarket and everything was right there in front of them. They were SHOCKED!!!!!
Ironically news of that visit was forbidden in the mother USSR as people would revolt if they knew that the capitalist pigs had it soooo good.
Like Yackoff Smirnoff says, "WHAT A COUNTRY".
That's the problem with closet communists, they often don't even realize that they are idolizing communism and rarely have enough real knowledge about the subject to form a rational opinion that isn't based solely on FANTASY.
And before anyone starts screaming PARF, this is a discussion of economic philosophies.
