Just wait until you see the death tolls of capitalism in general.
- ctlby 7y agoCapitalism only "kills" people in a counterfactual sense. For example, you might posit that, had society gone out of its way to provide medical care to a sick individual, that person still would be alive. But that counterfactual is actually pretty complicated; it requires long chains of causation and dubious moral assumptions. Communism kills in a very real sense: it literally murders by the million and creates deadly privation where there was previously none.
- smsm42 7y agoThat would require the capitalism to end, so I hope we never get to see that. And considering that the only realistic scenario of ending capitalism before any of the people reading this are dead is world takeover by China - you probably hope that too, once you think about it.
