“The difference is that when the data disproves a theory, scientists abandon the theory and don't think that is an easy discipline.“ How’s that “different”? If they’re willing to abandon it, they don’t view it as “objective truth.” It’s just the closest thing they have.

The communist experiment has been tried many times and always ended in tyranny, starvation and death. When will communists show some scientific method and accept they and it is wrong?

Have I not yet provided multiple examples of communism not ending in tyranny, starvation, OR death? That’s normally like, the first thing people ask. I like MAREZ as a fun example, they’re strapped all the time, yet they’re *still* not killing each other.

Anyway, capitalism kills 18 million people a year and has been responsible for genocides all over the world for the past 600 years. Why doesn’t anyone ever ask capitalists to admit THEY’RE wrong?

What genocides? Name one. Capitalism is barely 600 years old, and then only existed in a few places like Venice and The Netherlands.

Capitalist genocides include: - The Late Victorian Holocausts (27M) - The Congo Free State (8M) - The Amazon Genocide (250k) - Famine under Decommunization (3-6M) - The Expansion of French Africa (13M) - The Transatlantic, Arab and Ottoman Slave Trades (genocidal byproduct ~40M)

White terror in Russia was a civil war! The very use of the word peasant means you should delete that from the list. Peasants are feudal subjects. Pinochet, an anti communist dictator, what does that have to do with capitalism?

Sure, White Terror (Russia) was probably more Tsarists anyway. Strike that one from the list, leave the other 3. You know Pinochet was an ARDENT capitalist, right? He was advised by Milton Friedman himself! (who then went on to advise China as they reformed back into capitalism)

Pinochet just hated communism and was an ardent catholic I believe. That said Peru has avoided most of the problems that other South American countries have had like Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela even though it lacks the resources of those countries.

Pinochet was def an anti-Communist, but he was probably the most straightforwardly “capitalist” of the famous fascists. He believed in free market, private enterprise, purged socialists in part because he claimed they threatened prosperity, and was the first to embrace Friedman.
