      Capitalism kills millions every yesr despite a surplus of resources and production to meet everyone’s needs, but some right-wingers say it isn’t true Capitalism because the state gets in the way.

        I thought communism also killed millions. Also, communism can’t work cause many people have a natural tendency towards greed and selfishness.

          Communism has a better track record than Capitalism does. Why do you believe otherwise?

          Secondly, what about Communism doesn’t work if people are greedy and selfish? How do you think Communism and Socialism work?

      when u point out the atrocities of capitalism to some libs they will say dumb shit like “its crony capitalism thats the problem” as if “crony capitalism” or whatever other excuse they come up with (like trying to separate colonialism and capitalism) was not an inevitable and intended result of what they call “real capitalism”
