And at the same time, in many countries, life expectancy rises.

Saying this does not deny the fact that there is severe inequality between the "haves" and "have nots", between the "developed" countries, technology equipped with an extensive healthcare system and social security (for some), and the others.

Anti-capitalist critique is essential. However, what some people are posting on this list-- the paranoid representation of capitalism, the state, the wealthy as bogeymen who are all trying to transform us into zombies with wallets -- is intellectually deficient.
