> Capitalism has saved billions of people from poverty.

Unabated capitalism has more poverty than capitalism with social programs. Social programs save people from poverty.

Also, capitalism can exist without advertising.

It doesn’t need every form of advertising, but you can’t start a business if you can’t reach prospective customers, and if you can’t start a business then you don’t have capitalism.

No. Poverty is the default state. Capitalism creates inequality but it also reduces poverty.
