might start using 'man in the muffler'

well i wanted to argue about poverty in the western world, you didn't want to

cause if we're counting poverty to the death toll of a system the rest of the systems stand no chance

I wasn't averse to it, I was just correcting some of the misassumptions you made before hand

like?

and I sort of did address it, I acknowledged that capitalism as a mode of production has led to an increase in quality of life

but that assertions made in Das Kapital were relevant as they had their basis in observing material conditions of Russian laborers at the time

I was arguing against the ''death toll'' of capitalism, the article you posted

Specifically?

it included poverty which is insane

I don't know, you posted it

You don't know what you were arguing against?

I didn't write the article mate

you don't know what you were posting as an argument?

lmao

I gave it as food for thought versus the "Communist Death Toll" meme, I hadn't read it all.

and then you complained that I didn't read it fully, when you didn't even do it.

wtf

you hadn't read any of it

you just assumed it was wrong

no shit, I wasn't citing it

let's get the article up again

http://guerrillaontologies.com/2014/05/attempting-the-impossible-calculating-capitalisms-death-toll/

"Poverty. One of the most overlooked causes of death today is something called “structural violence” – that is, violence against the bottom rungs of society in order to make a profit. Structural violence can occur due to lack of medical care, slashing of wages, gentrification, etc. But without a doubt, structural violence is the largest killer WORLDWIDE. Studies performed by Canadian researches Gernot Kohler and Norman Alcock published under the title “An Empirical Table of Structural Violence” found that 18,000,000 people die each year due to systemic poverty"

''18,000,000 people die each year due to systemic poverty"'' KEK

I want to see that study

sounds like pure nonsense

http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/002234337601300405

''Structural violence can occur due to lack of medical care, slashing of wages, gentrification, etc.''

again, I wouldn't go in with assumptions

You did it when you cited the study

which you didn't even read

"sounds like pure nonsense"

don't do that

I didn't

"I gave it as food for thought versus the "Communist Death Toll" meme, I hadn't read it all."

you did post an article you hadn't even read

I hadn't read all of it, I'd scanned through it.

not a good idea when posting something as evidence of the big bad capitalism killing machine

If you do know what it's about, tell me how capitalism produces poverty deaths that don't happen in other systems
