  • None? People don’t starve to death in western countries. And where they do the issue is lack of infrastructure.

    “This thing doesn’t happen, and when it does, it’s not the fault of capitalism itself” is a monumentally stupid argument. Especially when talking about the homeless population, which absolutely does have people that starve.

    A communist government couldn’t conjure the resources needed to build that out of thin air either.

    And the capitalist economy chose not to build it because it wasn’t profitable, or after it was built, it was too expensive to be used.


  • Fucking communist countries have killed how many millions of their own citizens?

    Bruh, centuries of capitalist exploitation of its citizens and treating them like a disposable commodity would like to have a word on the whole ‘citizens killed by their own country’ topic.

    How many thousands or millions of citizens die yearly because they can’t afford to live in this fucked up system?

    This is probably just a use of different words to not sound repetitive.

    Then why do they only do it in the same way, every time, and for other western powers? For example, this is from 2005:

    “On the March 18 CBS Evening News, reporter Byron Pitts gave these figures: “Today, U.S. deaths number more than 1,500. There are no exact figures for Iraqi fatalities, but estimates are for every American killed, 11 Iraqis died.” In other words, more than 16,500 Iraqi deaths.”

    Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, but decades of examples are clearly a system pattern.
