My favorite is when they try to spin any communist leader as a good guy. Stalin in particular.

Commies gotta pump those numbers up if they want to come even close to capitalism’s death toll.

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. :)

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 1 hour 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).
