    The joke is that Capitalism DOES NOT have a solution to homelessness because there is zero profit motive to solve it. And facts dont care about your feelngs, you cant refute Marx’s philosophy while being intellectual honest. Capitalist Economists study Das Kapital because Marx was so fucking spot on.

        The existence of state run social services and regulations does not mean a country is not fully capitalist if you’re using Marx’s understanding of what capitalism is. Additionally I think there is a misconception that communism depends on altruistic behavior. It really doesn’t.

      No need to refute Marx, reality has already proven time and time again that communism doesn’t work in practice.

      Btw your argument only applies to “pure” capitalism, without any government interference. Homelessness is not really an issue in many European countries.
