Do you have a source on that?
Source?
A source. I need a source.
Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.
No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.
You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.
Do you have a degree in that field?
A college degree? In that field?
Then your arguments are invalid.
No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.
Correlation does not equal causation.
CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.
You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.
Nope, still haven't.
I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron
Eh
>blaming access to guns as a cause for a shooting
ISIS suicide bombings only exist because they have access to pressure cookers, duh
All pressure cooker owners are responsible for allowing Muslim access to (IED) material ffs
@Deleted User Is that the song by JOE?
If so, listen to his parody on Jeremy Hunt

Here's your source on that
30% of its population died due to war and faminine and what have you
you say Capitalism kills 6 billion people whilst communism has on average, killed not only double that number, but tripled it in terms of death it's caused worldwide
The biggest problem is that since communism attempts to rectify the problems of scarcity, the left can say that any instance of death via scarcity can be blamed on capitalism, since capitalism doesn't aim to necessarily do away with scarcity but make the best of the situation.
So even though the death rate is higher in countries have low economic freedom, they'll still say that the deaths there are caused by capitalism.
There is truth to this. Although it's hard to deny the moral shortcomings that come with a purely capitalistic system (as demonstrated by extreme wealth inequality with people starving, living in poverty, and even "better off" people not being able to afford healthcare)
That's why I don't really get the diehard partisanship in these matters. It seems pretty evident that the best system is a combination of some sort. The good parts of capitalism, the good parts of communism (socialism, basically), wrapped up in the warm fuzzy blanket of democracy with wide checks and balances on the governing body.
The one I REALLY don't understand is Fascism...am I just getting trolled by the "fascists" in this server? I might be a big dumb
Democratic Socialism ay?
Idk maybe.
I just was overrreacing to the communists on this server tbh
because not everyone wants to live in an all inclusive society, which is were the desire for fascism steps in, although not required to go full force
Are there fascists on this server?
I haven't noticed them because the communists were too busy driving me insane lmao
ya its hard to tell in the presence of communists since everyone is a fascist to them (usually), but i think there might be a couple. even i might be depending on how you define it, idk.
i like the idea of a highly nationalist and exclusive society, but i dont think a dictator is required or even a single party state. But I believe in right of blood, rather than soil.
I believe in a society that's neither communist or fascist lmao
i like some aspects, such as the collective over the individual but still remaining within a set group and culture, so no globalists or mass immigrants
🆙 | **Solid Sar leveled up!**
Yeah and I think that the only form of socialism that really works is giving food stamps to the poor
I'm sorry for my madness
I'm sure that @@JaskaElide will go and make some glorious speeches about how great communism and get 'this is epic tbh' while ignoring the fundamental facts about how bad communism is and about how it murders people in real life time.
my dude you're hyperfocusing on this real hard, it doesn't matter how many people "communism has killed" because that doesn't prove it's bad you have to point out actual flaws, not say hoHO thE iDea OF cOMmUNiSm IS bAD BEcausE EmpIRiCallY iT hAS kiLLED LoT pEOPLE LIBtARD
@GoldenGail3 state one fundamental fact about how bad communism is
by any chance have you happened to read any piece of communist literature or even like a cliff notes of it
@JaskaElide You have some points, and I agree that dick measuring contests about what has killed more aren't usually helpful (especially with this many confounding variables)
