famine is luckily a pretty unlikely thing to happen today

2017-07-06 16:30:48 UTC  

at least in the industrialized world which includes russia today

2017-07-06 16:30:59 UTC  

dunno about china tbh

2017-07-06 16:31:06 UTC  

and india

2017-07-06 16:31:13 UTC  

It's retarded that just because there was a famine people think it MUST have been Communism's fault.

2017-07-06 16:31:35 UTC  

It stands out because capitalistic societies don't get that at all

2017-07-06 16:31:40 UTC  

Unless a war is happening

2017-07-06 16:31:47 UTC  

Irish Potato Famine

2017-07-06 16:32:07 UTC  

That was the government making the Irish starve

2017-07-06 16:32:20 UTC  

Thus it was Capitalism's fault.

2017-07-06 16:32:21 UTC  

not capitalism, which would make it possible to sell the irish their food

2017-07-06 16:32:33 UTC  

government stands in the way of capitalism often

2017-07-06 16:33:13 UTC  

So when there's famine in a Communist country it's Communism's fault but when it's in a Capitalist country it's not Capitalism's fault.

2017-07-06 16:33:17 UTC  

Amazing logic

2017-07-06 16:33:22 UTC  

That's not what I said

2017-07-06 16:33:27 UTC  

Yes you did

2017-07-06 16:34:01 UTC  

State overlooked farming was a disaster because the state isn't the expert in that field, the farmers are

2017-07-06 16:34:19 UTC  

What happened in the UK was not a failure of farming but the government cracking down on the Irish

2017-07-06 16:35:03 UTC  

I can't handle the cringe

2017-07-06 16:35:15 UTC  

You're unable to argue, the other guy was sane

2017-07-06 16:35:33 UTC  

No you're just being ignorant.

2017-07-06 16:36:20 UTC  

state overlooked farming wasn't a disaster. what's the argument for that? that a single incident happened

2017-07-06 16:36:21 UTC  

?

2017-07-06 16:36:35 UTC  

The famine in the Soviet Union was going on even in Tsarist Russia.

2017-07-06 16:36:44 UTC  

also only ML actually want that I think

2017-07-06 16:36:49 UTC  

Right, because Tsardom wasn't a good system either

2017-07-06 16:37:05 UTC  

But the Soviets were the one who actually tried to fix it.

2017-07-06 16:37:07 UTC  

Less government is the answer

2017-07-06 16:37:12 UTC  

And they fixed it too.

2017-07-06 16:37:28 UTC  

The only one because you couldn't be anything else, or of to the gulags with you

2017-07-06 16:37:30 UTC  

You're AnCap, aren't you.

2017-07-06 16:37:37 UTC  

I'm libertarian, not ancap

2017-07-06 16:38:34 UTC  

So that explains your ignorance.

2017-07-06 16:38:49 UTC  

Great reply

2017-07-06 16:38:49 UTC  

Anyways I gotta go eat, AFK.

2017-07-06 16:38:50 UTC  

but wanting less government is hardly an argument against communism.

2017-07-06 16:39:15 UTC  

Communism is the furthest away from libertarianism I believe

2017-07-06 16:39:24 UTC  

Unless you're talking ancommunism

2017-07-06 16:39:35 UTC  

the furthest from libertarianism would be like slave society probably

2017-07-06 16:39:39 UTC  

luckily no one wants that

2017-07-06 16:39:43 UTC  

not far off tbh
