  1. Capitalism creates generational poverty.

  2. Generational poverty breeds desperation.

  3. Desperation leads to self-destructive behaviors, broken families, fractured communities, isolation, crime, child abuse, etc.

  4. Capitalism creates prisons, nonprofit industrial complex, big pharm, etc. to profit from the desperation.

It's a never-ending cycle.

We still have debtors prisons

Not in the United States. Here, it’s just called “prison”. And you certainly don’t have to break the law to end up there for life.

And come, certainly, nobody who has been sentenced to death could ever possibly deserve it. Because murder isn’t justice.
