    Did you just put someone wanting to better people’s lives through his critic of capitalism as the same as being a billionaire pedophile.

      To be fair, Marxism has killed a fuckload of people.

      Edit oh no people down voting who don’t like the truth

        Nowhere in marxism does it say murder x group of people. But in a lot of capitalist ideologies like nazism or zionism it is the norm.

          It doesn’t have to say to do it when it just consistently happens. It’s what we call the quiet part. Sometimes the quiet part gets said out loud but not always. We do get little peeks here and there even when people aren’t being mass murdered. Like when anti marxists get murdered and their deaths are widely celebrated amongst marxists.

            You also say the quiet part for capitalisms deaths? Or do just go with the flow. Millions of people die from hunger, not because we can’t feed them, just because its not profitable to do so. Same with vaccines, no profit from saving people so let them die. Its the most selfish system. At least the communists didn’t starve people on purpose.

              My family’s early 1900s experience with Russia did involve that. I’m no lover of capitalism either but most starvation happens for political reasons not supply. Evil people in power don’t care regardless of the economic system.

                I agree that evil people regardless of ideologies are the reason. But then why would marxism with its goal of equality be the sole cause for death. Cuba is a good example, trump openly said he wants the people of cuba to starve through his sanctions on oil. Is the socialist leadership to blame or the aggresor?
