Capitalism dooms “We the People”

How could the United States (US) call itself a democracy, when 38 million Americans live in poverty, despite having the biggest economy in the world with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 27 trillion dollars a year?
How could the People’s Republic of China have already eradicated her poverty since 2020, with a GDP of 18 trillion dollars a year? Not only has China done so, but also despite having 9 trillion dollars less than the US, and having 4 times more population!
Why should the US call itself the champion of democracy, instead of the more accurate, the champion of plutocracy, when 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens, and also when only 40% of Americans are satisfied with our government?
How could US President Biden say that China is a dictatorship, when Chinese themselves are 90% satisfied with their own government?
How could the US talk about the existence of a so-called “Rules Based Order” when the US consistently refuses to comply with numerous United Nations (UN) resolutions demanding that it stop its illegal economic blockade against Cuba, and also refuses to comply with 42 UN resolutions asking it to immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans?
And, how is US democracy benefitted by its unconditional support of the artificial colonial settler state of Israel in its genocidal campaign against the indigenous people in Palestine?
The only real people being benefitted are the oligarchs!
