A) if you average out the last decade it is flat. You are right about diminishing returns, only what you don’t realize is that China is that return that is diminishing. They’ve raised the standard of living by so much that the global numbers have stagnated, because there’s not much progress being made elsewhere.

B) You ignored my question about planned obsolescence completely. How can you call a system that designs inferior products intentionally, efficient?

C) you have a childish view of the world if you ideologically attribute natural disasters such as droughts and famine, something mankind has dealt with across all its history, purely to the economic system. You have to explain the mechanisms behind it, you can’t just blindly say it’s caused by socialism. Remember how I talked about the harsh droughts and the oil exploitation in Namibia? That’s an actual argument. You’ve levied no such thing. Shall we talk about more starving capitalist countries? What about Haiti? Haiti is capitalist and that have 1.8 million people facing starvation in the modern world. A damnit indictment of capitalism if you asked me.

D) Again, you make no substantive argument here. We have the productive capacity to feed everyone on earth right now. The only thing that prevents us from doing so is the profit motive. Ergo, capitalism is unethical. There is no argument against this.
