Meet Steem's #1 Author!

"You, much like the ludicrous and murderous economic theories you ascribe to, will continue to never have any allies. Thank god for the fact your idiocy remains confined to the fringe."

2.5 times more people have been proven to die due to the poverty created by capitalism than the block book of propaganda said died under communism, per capita. So even your anti-communist propaganda can't reach the levels of mass slaughter under capitalism. That number even ignores all the imperialism caused by capitalism.

Yeah, that's because you're equating poverty with things like Mao's forced famines.

Why don't you bring some citations and take a "Great Leap Forward" in your thinking, comrade?

"Yeah, that's because you're equating poverty with things like Mao's forced famines."

let me guess, he ate the grain himself?

That would be a neat trick. However his programs were so obviously flawed as to rise to the level of gross negligence, IMO and in history's judgment.

In Russia, huge shipments of grain that were needed by the Russian people - who starved en masse without it - was exported for the benefit of the elite. They wanted currency more than they wanted those people who were under their power to live.

I have to suspect that the kinds of statistics you might be able to dredge up to support this contention are highly subjective.

Here's a more reliably true statistic: 100% of people die, regardless of what name the political system they live under has.

Congrats, but early death should be avoided, unless you want to kill yourself right now and save us all the trouble

Eek! Do you intend to kill me?

Srsly, though, you kinda seem like you're deliberately being antagonistic, like you're trying to paint communism in a bad light, for pay.

Can't you just disagree with me, but not threaten me?

Back to the point. Statistics are often misused deliberately, misunderstood, poorly generated to begin with, and so forth. Lies, damned lies, and statistics, is a cliche for a reason.

While I will staunchly agree with you that governments are the most fatal disease the world has ever known, they all of them have features of socialism and capitalism, which I tried to point out in my comment regarding Russians starving to death by the millions while Russia sold wheat on the international market for currency.

I have the utmost respect and admiration for the Russian people, fatalism and all, and Vladimir Putin particularly, as he is personally responsible IMHO for paying off the debt of the nation and freeing Russia from the tentacles of the banksters infesting their nethers. Putin is even contemplating a new cryptoruble that will be, assumably, secure from the banking filth that profit from issuing debt bonds and charging interest on money they never had to lend out.
