Name one capitalist that killed 50 million people like Communist Mao ZeDong
If capitalists don't rise to the level of Mao, that doesn't make them guiltless.
One capitalist who comes close would be Adolf Hitler.
National socialist party lmao
Easy fooled by misleading words without knowing the history behind it. LMFAO
@RoboGraham tell me how getting free shit from.the government is capitalism. USA is communist right now
@Rich177 I know they called it that but he was NOT a socialist.
Who got free shit in Nazi Germany? It was a very capitalistic economy. The fascist privatized as much as they possibly could.
Have a look for yourself- [en.wikipedia.org]
Take a look under the Social Policies section to see how much they hated welfare.
@RoboGraham they got free shit, and the people were forced to pay for the free shit, but it was only given to the aryan race.
How was this free shit given? Welfare? I just showed you they didn't do that. Try reading.
@RoboGraham read again. They gave free shit, but only to the nazis.
@Rich177 You “righties” are okay handing out trillions in tax cuts and subsidies to the corporations that bribe lawmakers to keep wages at 1970’s levels, and make healthcare and higher education and housing unaffordable for half of all Americans. What makes you so complicit in such inhumane systems?
@Bobbyzen are you draft or something? Do you know the history of taxes? Why did the united states declare independence from Britain? One of the grievances were taxation without CONSENT and you lefties love consent in the me 2 movement but when government rapes people it's all good! You desperately need to educate yourself financially, may I recommend Robert kiyosaki? Study study study! inflation is caused by a fiat currency, printing more paper currency doesn't solve that problem, that's just fucking idiotic
@Bobbyzen 1971 the president ford took dollar off gold standard!!!! All because they couldn't afford the Vietnam war and all the free shit the new deal by roosevelt made. The new deal was a leftist policy and instead of learning from the past these idiots want to make the same mistake over and over!!! We lost to a communist country and now are a communist country.
@Bobbyzen it's the fiat currency demonstratably. When the dollar was backed by gold, prices were stable. With the massive printing of fake money, prices will continue to rise. The united states couldn't afford to pay for new deal and Vietnam war and were losing gold rapidly, so decided to rob it's own citizens for gold. How does this connect to the creation of the federal reserve on Jekyll island? I'll research it, but the federal reserve is not a free economic market, its communism.
Directly or indirectly with bad policy. Trump is on the way to working on that number with his attempt to repeal Obamacare.
The European colonists were capitalist based and in the two Americas 15 million fell to European Imperialist colonization. Many indirectly to disease, but many to colonial policy. European exploration was based squarely on capitalism. Control of the resources in the Far East and the New World.
Death is not always at the point of a gun. Sometimes death comes through policy that deny access to select groups of people. Houston is not exactly a good example of humanistic capitalism. I know, I lived there once upon a time and have family there now.
One could lay the deaths of 130 million indigenous people in the Americas at the feet of Christopher Columbus although just like Mao, he had help.
In From Wounded Knee to the Present, "It is also apparent that the shared history of the hemisphere is one framed by the dual tragedies of genocide and slavery, both of which are part of the legacy of the European invasions of the past 500 years. Indigenous people north and south were displaced, died of disease, and were killed by Europeans through slavery, rape, and war. In 1491, about 145 million people lived in the western hemisphere. By 1691, the population of indigenous Americans had declined by 90-95 percent, or by around 130 million people."
I don't thin CC was a capitalist.
He was a mercantilist.
@FearlessFly Well it damn well wasn’t Communism brother. Call it Imperialism. Call it Settler Colonialism. It was done to obtain property for individuals and their sponsors.
@Bobbyzen Justification for it is/was not my intent (see my second comment). It wasn't (for CC) capitalism. For the colonials, it was primarily religious liberty, plenty perished before gaining 'property'
@FearlessFly Please learn real history, not the fairy tales you learned in elementary school.
