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?

How does capitalism kill 18 million people? How about the hundreds of millions alive now because of the technological and medical advances it and NOT communism has created. Have to do better than that!

It kills them through starvation/dehydration while food/water is abundant, preventable disease when healthcare is available, exposure when there’s housing available. Hoarding. And that’s not even including the many millions that have died to protect the interests of capitalists.

To attribute ANY scientific advances to “capitalism” or “communism” is completely absurd. NEITHER of those have anything to do with the advancement of science, which has progressed in every kind of society.

2. No surplus of food and capital means no development and a nation one step away from famine.

Achieving a surplus of food does not require capitalism, and never did.

1. Yes, Ancient Egypt could create surpluses, but not all the time. You may be interested that the first strike in recorded history occurred in Ancient Egypt, by craftsmen responsible for tomb construction. Middle kingdom I think.

Shortages happen under capitalism all the time, too. See: the entire third world

Shortages do happen under capitalism. The best example is Greece. 30%plus fall in GDP, mass unemployment. But is capitalism responsible? In part, Goldman Sachs had a role, but so did Greek governments for paying people pensions at 50 and most of all for joining the Euro.

Capitalism definitely didn’t hurt its chances, that’s for true The Euro is one of the many state-sanctioned effects of neoliberal capitalism.
