How do you argue against those who say capitalism doesn't work because the winners are decided at birth and the system is rigged so the wealthy can stay wealthy?

>the winners are decided at birth

stop arguing with poor people

Bring up the limitless examples of poor and middle class people that have become wealthy and show the limitless examples of wealthy people who are now poor and middle class?

The 1% is very fluid.

Most people don't stay rich forever. The idea of passing wealth on to children for generation applies to only a select few.

This. Just because some people are born lucky doesnt mean you are fucked if you arent. In a capitalist system those at the bottom can work their way up the ladder, sometimes over the generations, sometimes in 1 lifetime.

You give them figures on mobility and loss of wealth generationally for the rich and tell them to fuck off.

Get job. Save money.Live within your means.

Niggers suck at 4d thought and planning. Is that capitalism's fault?

Mydas well hand all assets to government when you die (maybe have a small asset value that you can give to kids, but not alot). I would unironically support that

in a capitalist society
>born poor
>certain chance to become wealthy

in a non-capitalist society
>born poor
>die poor

I choose the former.

Forgot the part where we give all of our debt to the government when we die as well.

The fact that this gif was first about retards supporting socialism shows leftists have no creativity or logic,

This was changed to capitalism. Makes sense some little pussy retard from Belgium would do this.

Isn't social mobility at an all time low? How many of these limitless examples are there?

Retard troll.

>limitless
Where are these data?

>The idea of passing wealth on to children for generation applies to only a select few.
Is this actually true? Evidence?

capitalism is the only system where everyone (is superposed to) get to keep the fruits of their labor, where opportunity is equalized but the outcome you receive is up to you, and you get to set your goals and limits, and are solely responsible for where you end up

Tough shit motherfucker. Man is fundamentally unequal. People being born better off compared to others from the get-go isn't some deep tragedy indicative of capitalism's supposed evil.

Most individual's aren't going to make it to the top. Many will stay at the bottom. You could say that about most things in being. Men, nonetheless, can work themselves, to at least a small degree, and at the most a great degree, to something better than their original position.

Capitalism allows this to occur with greater ease, and greater opportunities than under socialism. While an individual under socialism would be constrained by the 'common good' to a stagnant level, capitalism allows some to rise to a greater status rightfully.

>capitalism doesn't work because the winners are decided at birth and the system is rigged so the wealthy can stay wealthy
So this is the legendary communist """logic"""

Maybe they have a point?

Tell them to stop spending excess money on batshit. Stop chasing after useless degrees, and finally put on some big-boy pants in this capitalist society and they mayh go somewhere.

dont forgetg to mention that this isnt a pure capitalist sociaty, rather a society in which the state has placed so many arbitrary regulations that startups are impossible

It's your damn paper. Look it up. Bill Gates, elon musk, Adolph Hitler. Idfk

Just because you can gain or lose wealth does not mean that rich parents aren't an advantage.

Isn't it then in the interest of the less fortunate to change the system?
