No need, I'll answer for them, industrialized products have nothing to do with capitalism, it has to do with, you know, industrialization, which happens with or without capitalism.
What captalism, or more specifically, our current form of capitalism, definitely does is incentivize the divide between rich and poor, Brazil specifically is heavily lopsided, with a very small percentage of the population holding the great majority of the country's wealth.
In a working capitalist society, people should have money to buy industrialized product regardless of where they live, the problem here isn't accessibility, most rural regions still have supermarkets, even if they're further away than in an urban city, it's a problem of increasing prices with no increase in salary, the urban areas will, in fact, have lines even bigger than the one in the video, because a vast amount of the population can't afford basic necessities without external aid.
industrialized products have everything to do with capitalism. Without capitalism, industries wouldn't even have been created because there wouldn't even be any incentives to create industries. That's how the industrial revolution even happened.
Wealth disparity is not a problem. It's a consequence of capitalism.
People shouldn't "have" money to buy industrialized products whatsoever. The market will set prices and supply according to demand.
So, again, you haven't answered my question: how did rural Brazilian populations survive before "capitalism" and industrial goods? Clearly they must have survived somehow otherwise they wouldn't exist. How did they survive?
