I'll try not to sound like a heartless bas**rd here, but the ugly truth is that there will always be less fortunate people out there due to basic economics: scarcity of resources, there is simply not enough to go around in this world to afford every one of us 6 billion+ humans a decent life, so some less fortunate people will just have to deal with it, maybe they'll have better luck next life? There is only so much everyone else can do to help. The problem with communists and socialists is that they daydream all day about a perfect world.

I just can't believe that's true. Every day we see how wasteful our culture is, how it is a culture of excess. We don't just fill our needs, society manufactures new "wants" so that we will continue to consume new products.
There's easily enough resources for everyone on the planet to have a decent life. That's fact.
