We voted with our wallets. Between communism and Nazis, communism was the lesser evil. This is Musk's WW3.

Communism has killed hundreds of millions of innocent people. It's not cute or funny.

  • Every decade, global capitalism decides that 100 million people don't need to eat and they get to starve to death. In the same time period, slightly less than that die from lack of medical care the market decides they don't need.

    And that's just contemporary capitalism. Hundreds of millions starved in famines, and starving people got to watch as the food they themselves harvested was shipped to markets that would pay more for it. Millions were enslaved, and cultures, races and communities were wiped off the faces of continents in the name of profit.

    • It's a good thing capitalism existed to create the technology needed to tell us all how bad capitalism is. Down with capitalism!
