But have you considered scary black book of communism?

the claims that Courtois made in the book’s introduction were not even accepted by all of his own contributors.
The figure encompasses the number of Vietnamese casualties resulting from armed conflict with the US.

capitalism being a system that promotes the accumulation of wealth / power by few to exert over many? So like… nature? Yeah, that would be everyone.
Everyone that has ever died ever is due to capitalism. :)

we are a societal race, that thrives on empathy and community.

Capitalism as a mode of production is only a few hundred years old. It’s essentially a mode of production where private ownership is the principal aspect of the economy, and capital owners control the state. Before capitalism was feudalism, and before feudalism came slave societies, and before those came tribal communalism.
Human nature is incredibly malleable and depends most upon how we produce and distribute, how we live and how our environment shapes us.

Which is a bare minimum to treating the symptoms of capitalism. So that means nothing, while the world fucking burns due to to insatiable wealth pisser.

Two hundred million? They managed to double their kill count since 2000? Impressive, especially considering the lack of invading Nazis to mow down en masse for easy numbers.

It includes the children who are never going to be born because Elon was sad and couldn’t get boner with all his female employees
Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
The 100 million figure includes abortions and Nazis killed during World War II, so even that’s already horrendously off (not to mention the outright faked numbers).

No? Marxists generally believe socialism can and does exist, and has existed thus far. The minority of Marxists believe it hasn’t.
