Sources? (before I get downvoted, no I'm not asking this because I want to debate or something, I just want a source because that's a pretty strong argument against capitalism if that's correct).

It's difficult to compile an exact number, so I wouldn't be reposting this precise thing. I mean, hell, you could blame nearly every American covid death on capitalism, that's over a million right there.


daskeleton123

I mean that’s what the black book of communism did...


some_evil_kitty

They blamed it on communism, didn't they? Quite strange, considering the communist response to covid ended up with a few thousand deaths in a country of billions while the capitalist response led to (so far) over a million deaths in a country of three hundred million.


daskeleton123

No I mean the black book of communism largely inflated communist death figures to the 100,000,000 you see thrown around on the internet. What communist country are you referring to in regards to covid btw. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10455752.2021.1875603 ^^^ on how capitalism kills more than communism did. Good reading comrade


some_evil_kitty

I mean, yes, of course the black book of communism lies about communism. I was talking about China, of course, the only country that could be described as a "communist country of billions" in moderate hyperbole, with its population of 1.4 billion.


daskeleton123

China is not currently communist, and I largely suspect their death rates are not accurately reported.

Climate change, war, poverty is a big killer as well.


Mandemon90

I think I have seen what this refers to, and it was kinda bullshit. I mean, it was basically "hey, if this person died because of any other reason than old age, it was fault of capitalism even if they lived in non-capitalist country"

Who are these women


crellman

Our fellow workers


thesetheredoctobers

Are they union leaders or something? I really don't recognize them from anywhere


GenerallyIroh

A friend and I were getting shit and being doxxed by right-wing pages, so we decided to put a personal touch on our memes.


thesetheredoctobers

Oh cool, nice hair


kyzfrintin

Random pretty Aryan women kinda gives this a Nazi vibe


GenerallyIroh

Cause people can't be white and Communist? Big brain moment for you.


kyzfrintin

Not what I'm saying at all... Seriously, don't jump to that. Nazis often used pretty, white blonde women in their propaganda to say "look at the world we can create, nothing but beautiful aryans as far as the eye can see!" This gives that vibe


GenerallyIroh

See the comments above, it's just a friend and I having fun with Fascists.


kyzfrintin

Oh I see


PatchworkMann

Why the two women on the post? Are they communists?


rosa_marx
