Well, i m not versed in ethnology but i believe many tribes have lived without state or money and that among them there was no rich or poor. Take some amazonian tribe for instance.
Rich and poor is only one aspect of evolution. I think the fault is the rich's one.
Again if my brother die without medicine while i buy a new car, it is not my fault?
In buddhism, craving is the root of violence. The rich craves for its own pleasure regardless of the suffering of the poor. There is a buddhist sutta about that: how the division between rich and poor created violence from the poor in order to earn some of the rich's wealth.
I dont understand how you can understand the justice of rich and poor? The rich has more merits, is more clever? How do you measure that? The only justice should be according to compassion and often the rich do not have more compassion than the poor. And also capitalism is not very democratic: some have the power to decide for others. The shareholders set the rules for the workers, there is no freedom but alienation.
Throughout history capitalism has caused many deaths. Just think about the Opium wars, Great Britain has made in China. Make wars in order to sell drugs!
