      Going out on a limb here, but I’m guessing that’s the original cartoon and this is a play on the irony of the post-modern revelation of many of capitalism’s failures.

        Not only that, this isn’t real X is just a bad road to go down in. You need to define what system you want and judge if you met the plan, not some ideal.

        think of a number that u think communism killed between 1920 and 2020 just whatever u can imagine just add up all the made up numbers u have seen in all ur favorite propaganda and keep that number in mind and open the spoiler below.

        spoiler

        last year more than 20 million people died in capitalist countries from perfectly preventable causes such as starvation and disease and thats without even counting how many people were murdered by imperialist countries and their puppet around the world to maintain capitalism.

        idk what number u came up with but i grantee u it was less than 2 billion. and ur number is an exaggeration while mine in an under estimation.

              Hmm “last year” data might be very different over 100 years. It tends to increase towards later dates so its weird to assume its constant

                true, i wast trying to say that capitalism killed that many people in that specific period of time just that over a period of a 100 years at the current rate of murder it would be way more than the ridiculous number of death attributed to communism during that time. but i totally see how it could be misunderstood

        Capitalism kills more people each decade than even the wildest numbers capitalist chuds have ascribed to communism, and yet here you are. A stable genius.

      Capitalism kills millions every yesr despite a surplus of resources and production to meet everyone’s needs, but some right-wingers say it isn’t true Capitalism because the state gets in the way.

          Communism has a better track record than Capitalism does. Why do you believe otherwise?

          Secondly, what about Communism doesn’t work if people are greedy and selfish? How do you think Communism and Socialism work?

      when u point out the atrocities of capitalism to some libs they will say dumb shit like “its crony capitalism thats the problem” as if “crony capitalism” or whatever other excuse they come up with (like trying to separate colonialism and capitalism) was not an inevitable and intended result of what they call “real capitalism”

    ‘Capitalism is the worst from of economy, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.’ - modified Winston Churchill quote. While I know how I use the quote in my head isn’t how Churchill intended, to me it means don’t settle for something just because it’s the best option that’s currently available.
