The moral "high ground" of Capitalism

5ha99y 12 points 3 months ago

Capitalism is dominant and longer used than Communism. The total amount of deaths is naturally higher. It doesn't tell anything about the actual amount of deaths communism could have, if it is active in the same capacity and amount of time, this plot would be more interesting.

And just to make things clear, I am not taking a position for any of the two. I just think this argument is not representative.

They'll ignore this and just claim that the deaths were covered up.

Fair point, but capitalism is broad and includes actions done in the 1600s by groups such as the East India Company. While communism is a small group of 20th/21st century countries

You can't have opinions like that. You have to choose sides. /S
