A) what qualifies poverty-related
B) how many people have died from 'poverty-related causes' under a Communist government
C) is dying from your government *not* paying attention to you better or worse than dying because your government *decided* to pay attention to you

2018-05-04 18:10:44 UTC  

Those terms are way too vague to mean something

2018-05-04 18:11:33 UTC  

Here's a question: are most African countries capitalist?

2018-05-04 18:11:34 UTC  

Also, they are probably counting violence due to poverty as a reason of those deaths

2018-05-04 18:11:55 UTC  

Say, in South Africa, it's illegal to sell water.

2018-05-04 18:12:13 UTC  

You know, that one place that's running out of water real quick?

2018-05-04 18:12:18 UTC  

wow

2018-05-04 18:12:22 UTC  

Like, is it worse for a government not to directly be responsible for feeding the population (and some of the population starving to death) or for a government to go out of the way to take food away from you "for the greater good" and you starve to death?

Or to round up your entire village and ship you off to starve to death in a prison camp?

Or just shoot you all into a mass grave?

2018-05-04 18:12:30 UTC  

How much of capitalism is that?

2018-05-04 18:14:34 UTC  

I wonder how many of those supposed "deaths due to capitalism" come from the African countries where the government keeps undermining their own population.

2018-05-04 18:15:24 UTC  

"Capitalism" is to socialists what "J00s" are to tinfoilers

2018-05-04 18:15:36 UTC

"Cuba is a shithole"

2018-05-04 18:15:48 UTC  

YEAH WELL THAT'S CAUSE CAPITALISTS WON'T LET THEM TRADE

2018-05-04 18:16:01 UTC  

They can trade with Europe

2018-05-04 18:16:03 UTC  

I guess

2018-05-04 18:16:18 UTC  

As Sargon pointed out, the point of communism is that trade would become obsolete.

2018-05-04 18:16:21 UTC  

Plus, if they actually couldn't trade, Cuban cigars wouldn't be a thing

2018-05-04 18:16:30 UTC  

"Isn't trade a capitalist ide-"

SHUTUP

2018-05-04 18:16:31 UTC  

So, no Communist state would ever need to trade.

2018-05-04 18:16:55 UTC

2018-05-04 18:17:05 UTC

2018-05-04 18:17:28 UTC
