There were multiple statements in this thread that made me face palm, So I'm going to list the link to each one and R1 them

Pictured Spontaneous Order

This picture is pretty easy to debunk. Its what we call in statistics a non-representative sample. Can't really say much more about it besides the fact that many of the nations that are seen performing poorly because of the financial crisis have some of the highest standards of living in the world on a per capita basis.

The response to that comment was pretty good....^ except

Over a long period of time, I would say minimum 20 years or so, the US economy grows ~6-8% every year.

This isn't even close to true. Since 1961 the U.S has only achieved that range of real GDP growth 3 times

So this person came close to Debunking the comment above him, but then made a terrible mistake by quoting that ridiculous growth range.

'How dare you misrepresent the biggest global recession since that other one less than a century ago? Clearly capitalism is very sustainable, stop cherrypicking!'

This comment is very vague, So let me take liberty to read into it a little. If by "sustainable" he means that standards of living don't rise or don't stay there then he is patently wrong.

First evidence that Capitalism has lead to a rise in the standards of living of many people

More evidence that Capitalism has lead to rising living standards

So we have established that the world bank (which that video and article cite) shows evidence that Free markets have lead to a stupendous reduction in the amount of serious poverty around the world.

But do living standards stay there? There are too many countries involved to list, so lets use one, the United States and place our standard of living over time and also include business cycles and the great recession to see if those had long term reductions in the standard of living.

Real GDP per Capita in the United States Since 1947, Quarterly data so we have approx 280 observations

But what about Compensation you say!

Real total compensation per hour in the United States is on the upswing even with business cycles included

So we see that not only Do living standards increase, they stay there with small blips we call business cycles.

Yes, if I listen to monetarists, an almost entirely discredited school of economics which caused a big fucking spike in unemployment everytime it was tried, they'll tell me that actually regulation is bad. Similarly, if I ask a pepsi salesman why i'm getting sick from drinking pepsi all the time, they'll tell me that i'm not drinking enough pepsi.

To say that Monetarists are discredited would be a vast over statement. Even wikipedia has a section for notable adherents which include a nobel prize winning economist and two (recent) federal reserve chairmen among others

I don't even know where to start with the claim that "every time" its been tried unemployment has spiked. I would argue that "monetarism" has been practiced in a country ever since it gains a central bank authority. In the United States it has been practiced then since 1913. As you might know, Unemployment has not been chronically higher because of that, so the claim that "every time" its been tried leads to a spike in unemployment is patently false.
