But when we talk about social policy people argue that the ONLY reason some people fail is because they don't try hard enough. The system guarantees there will be losers no matter how hard everyone tries. So you can't blame the losers for failing when the system guarantees that some will fail.
This is why we have certain people who "demonize" the losers in society. It makes them feel better being cruel to the losers if they feel like it is all the losers fault. So they refuse to acknowledge that there will be losers in a capitalist system no matter how hard everyone tries.
