@BabaBooey Keep drinking your Champaign, when they achieve communism you will be the first to go.
“The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his 'natural superiors,' and has left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, callous 'cash payment.' It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervor, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation. It has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom—Free Trade. In one word, for exploitation, veiled by religious and political illusions, it has substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation.
The bourgeoisie has stripped of its halo every occupation hitherto honored and looked up to with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage laborers.
The bourgeoisie has torn away from the family its sentimental veil, and has reduced the family relation to a mere money relation.”
― Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto
That's you @BabaBooey you are the bourgeoisie
Muh 60 gazzilion people stalin killed tbh

*Directly* attributable, under "modern" Communist regimes.

What about the 50% of settlers, from Europe, who died during the period we practiced community ownership?
the 2 and 2 go hand in hand
raping the planet
back to comet
i wish we could count all the billions that died from capitalism tbh
What about the nomadic civilizations that went extinct, because they could not accumulate capital and develop, which was required to advance medicine, technology, and support population growth and preserve their lives against natural elements, because they had no system of private property? This, too, would be considered Communism.
tell us more Camera
where did capitalism directly kill someone
when niggaz gots ta hussel an teh 5-0 come and blast a cap
So, Communism has a death-toll vastly exceeding the direct attribution of deaths under "modern" Communist regimes.
capitalism has a huge death toll if you count the aborted babies
Throughout most the history of our species, we practiced Communism, and back then, the average lifespan was profoundly low. They died from the natural elements, starvation, and diseases that Capitalism eliminated and has preserved their lives against.
>communists never aborted babies
@Camera Obscura agreed let's end abortion
nope... capitalism has the value of time.. babys are potential value @Camera Obscura
by hunger
Abortions are a byproduct of the choice to murder, nothing more, nothing less.
