    Numerous academics have stated that capitalism killed bare minimum 1.4 Billion people in India alone, over multiple centuries.

    I’ve got a feeling that even that amount, is an extremely low bare minimum estimate.

    I always say, that even if communism allegedly killed 100 million people, (which it didn’t, and the extreme upper end number is is more like 18 million), that communism is still the much, much more efficient, workable and “moral” system than capitalism is.

    When I point out to people that for the most part, the “victims” of communism were selfish, greedy capitalists, kulaks, Uncle Toms, traitors, nazis and right-wing nationalists, who deserved what they got, where as capitalism kills mountains more people, and 99 percent innocent people, they accuse me of being a bootlicker. Which is extremely ironic and anger-inducing. Yet, they don’t deny the objective facts.
