    The genocides of Capitalist Colonialism in the past 200 years have a far greater death toll than anything “leftists” have done. If you look at King Leopalds actions in the Congo, or Britain’s in India, and South Africa…

    I mean, Hitler didn’t just come up with the idea of having concentration camps. They were already a practice of Western and Colonial powers (first tried by The Spanish on Cuban farmers, the photos of piles of human bones from “The Reconcenstrados” are quite eye opening)… And the practice was almost always done with the enrichment of Capitalist business interests in mind.

    Capitalism has always gone hand in glove with the enrichment of the ruling classes at the cost of the lives of the poor, vulnerable, and dispossessed.

    Capitalism was the economic model of the Colonialism that came to define the world as we know it today.

      You are focused on two centuries and more ago. I am talking about the last 20 years (upto 60)

        “I know I’m wrong, but let me twist the range I care about to make my braindead argument even remotely accurate”

        When you can’t win through facts, limit when you’re talking about. Might as well look into a career in statistics, might be less difficult to make bullshit arguments sound not-insane. All while ignoring the lives being destroyed globally by capitalism in the current era.
