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

lol

"READ FOR ME"

While I'm reading this article for you, tell me

What incentive would the Vietnam war have been based on without capitalist interests in the region?

"The War in Vietnam to “beat Communism” and maintain an Asian sphere of influence – 3,800,000 Vietnamese between 1955-1984 [46] about 58,000 US soldiers [47] about 200,000 in Laos [48] about 300,000 in Cambodia [49] it’s hard to calculate Agent Orange deaths but up to 4,800,000 people were exposed [50] and 100,000 US soldiers killed themselves"

Same reason any other country invades another country

to spread their influence

here's the full source btw http://sci-hub.cc/10.1177/002234337601300405

"to spread their influence"

explain.

What's their to explain? they would like another friendly country in asia

Industries have financial incentives to maintain capitalist spheres of trade throughout the world

to plant their military base etc

e.g. the rubber trade having an incentive to open up African markets

e.g. the Congo

"to plant their military base etc"

What does this even mean? What non-Vietnamese communist military bases existed in Vietnam?

Why would communists have an incentive to put military bases there?
