Reading Marxist theory helps. Here's a pretty good lecture of comparing the systems which gives a pretty good overview:
The History of Capitalism, Slavery, Feudalism and Marxism Richard Wolff
Thank you for acknowledging that you might have a perspective missing (This is by design). Considering this, you could benefit exploring terms like "hegemony" and "ideology".
To me it seems that you think you're asking a rethorical questions with no answer. If you engage with Marxist theory, play with the thought, you don't have to adopt it. Doing so you might realize that there are answers to this.
Again, you're advocating for people relocating and adapting to the market. Meaning, people serving the economy and not the other way around. This doesn't fix the systemic problem.
How is someone who lives paycheck to paycheck to just move? Who rents to someone like that? Moving costs money. What if someone doesn't have the social support for moving? You're saying this form a very priviledged position. It's not a free choice. It's being forced on you, because bourgois politics doesn't tackle the problem at it's roots.
You're saying it like you don't do it.
With a liberal perspective it sure looks like that. This is not cherry picking, right? lol Most of your treats come from China..
Well considering one is the hegemon, the other being an embargoed island with restricted access to the global economy it's impressive I would say. Show me another country with this many sanctions and that high of a life expectancy.. Libs ignoring context, a classic duo...
