20 million people die each year from starvation, preventable diseases, and lack of healthcare, and that's not even including war, climate change, and many things I'm probably forgetting
stalin and mao were terrible dictators, but to believe that socialism as an ideology is responsible for the deaths that occurred while they were in charge and to not blame capitalism for the deaths that occur as a result of the distribution of resources on this planet is just not accurate
Nub_DanishI don't know dude mao and stalin intentionally starved people, tortured and imprisoned people I think it's pretty reasonable to blame those deaths on the government whereas your desire to blame the inherent principles of scarcity and the fragility of human life on capitalism is kind of laughable.
and yet you choose to blame those deaths on the political philosophy that mao and stalin purported to represent, not on mao and stalin themselves? shouldn't I blame the deaths caused by hitler, franco, mussolini, winston churchill and george w. bush on capitalism then? what about forces even more inextricably tied to capitalism as an ideology, like slavery and colonialism? what about climate change, which has literally only been made possible by endless capital accumulation?
of course, this is even without getting into the total blackpilled language about "inherent principles of scarcity and the fragility of human life" when we have more than enough food and medicine just sitting in warehouses but can't create a planet that distributes resources humanely and somehow that's non-ideological
