Oh, and my first reply was a study that shows that capitalism directly starves 9 million people a year.

The study you cited is claiming capitalism directly starves 9 million people a year because starvation did not exist before capitalism - a claim which is demonstrably untrue.

Then you didn't read the full study, and don't understand the terms extreme poverty and extreme wealth.

He would understand the terms

Curious, because according to you and that paper, he lived in a non-capitalist society which, therefore, should not have any concept of those terms.

According to popular culture he was a part of an all knowing being. I would hope an all knowing being would know more than the humans 2000 years ago did.
