By its very nature, free enterprise manages to exclude a portion of the population from its benefits. Not really true, even in common practice, let alone "by its very nature". Compare a poor inner city American to a North Korean, or compare a poor American in the 1920s or 30s to a Ukrainian during the forced collectivisation of agriculture, and the "man made famines" of the early twenties and early 30s. Even with the US depression the situation was much worse in the USSR. What makes you think that I consider the old Soviet Union the ideal? In fact, their system of oligarchies was much more inequitable than capitalism.
