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)

2. Amazon Genocide I think may be a low figure given mortality from European disease. Again what does it have to do with capitalism? Decommunisaton famine. That is a communist famine resulting from collectivisation. French Africa? Colonialism again and this figure is very high.

The Amazon Genocide was carried out by rubber barons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_rubber_boom#Effects_on_indigenous_population … “Decommunisaton famine. That is a communist famine resulting from collectivisation.” It’s literally the OPPOSITE of that, what are you talking about? and d’y’think colonists were spreading socialism

Are you talking about a famine caused by the decommunisation of countries? Which countries? When?

Their were no famines in these states. Economic disruption and corruption yes but they are better off now than under Soviet rule. If you get the chance visit Budapest! Beautiful city, like a Disney set.

Well it led to 3-6 million more people starving to death over the following years, and that wasn’t happening from 1948 to 1991. *Someone* was getting famished. That being said, the Soviet system was irredeemably terrible at that point.

I will look into the stats. A flat mate worked a lot in Russia in the early 90s and I don't remember here him mention this. He mentioned the corruption, heavy drinking - especially by pilots - and attractive women.
