How in the world are wars capitalism

2020-10-22 11:47:32 UTC  

they were committed by the US purely to stop leftist groups rising to power

2020-10-22 11:47:55 UTC  

basic rule for the list: without capitalist policy these deaths would not have occured

2020-10-22 11:48:08 UTC  

Well that’s a bit broad

2020-10-22 11:48:27 UTC  

yeah its mainly a response to that claim that "socialism killed millions"

2020-10-22 11:48:33 UTC  

in reality both have killed millions

2020-10-22 11:48:39 UTC  

socialism slightly less

2020-10-22 11:48:50 UTC  

using deaths as a metric proves capitalism is the less successful one

2020-10-22 11:48:55 UTC  

Socialism leaves it people in worse situations though

2020-10-22 11:49:09 UTC  

the soviets were doing fine until they went capitalist

2020-10-22 11:49:13 UTC  

Living standards fell

2020-10-22 11:49:18 UTC  

Poverty increased

2020-10-22 11:49:22 UTC  

the GDP collapsed

2020-10-22 11:49:28 UTC  

Economy in general collapsed

2020-10-22 11:49:38 UTC  

It was fragile

2020-10-22 11:49:44 UTC  

suicide rates and alcoholism went through the roof

2020-10-22 11:50:40 UTC  

Also half of these are like famines and I just really don’t see how a famine is a result of capitalism

2020-10-22 11:50:59 UTC  

the only famines included are ones related to capitalism

2020-10-22 11:51:18 UTC  

Ireland due to the British policy increasing bread prices to make more money and refusing help

2020-10-22 11:51:27 UTC  

Bengal because the British demanded all food grown went to them

2020-10-22 11:51:30 UTC  

so the people starved

2020-10-22 11:51:34 UTC  

again, to make a profit

2020-10-22 11:51:42 UTC  

same at orissa

2020-10-22 11:51:48 UTC  

I think those are the only famines there

2020-10-22 11:52:08 UTC  

I don’t know enough about those events to make a certain opinion on them

2020-10-22 11:52:28 UTC  

But the colonization in Africa was definitely for military power over the Mediterranean

2020-10-22 11:53:06 UTC  

colonization was mainly done to make more profit

2020-10-22 11:53:11 UTC  

access to new markets, new goods

2020-10-22 11:53:18 UTC  

more profit

2020-10-22 11:53:54 UTC  

there may have been other reasons depending on the strategic area but the core reason for colonialism was to make more profit

2020-10-22 11:56:07 UTC
