The book is full of wildly exaggerated statistics that have been proven so. It’s that simple.
- WalterBright 5y agoProven by who? I'll need more than an anonymous internet person to take it seriously. A book or paper by a professional historian would be credible. Besides, even if the stats are exaggerated by factor of 10, communism still winds up being terrible.
- andrepd 5y agoSimple question: do you attribute all preventable or violent deaths under capitalism to the ideology of capitalism? If yes you probably have over billions of deaths since the ~1600s.
- WalterBright 5y agoSimple answer: I would count violent purges and death camps, mass executions, deliberate impositions of famine, deaths due to mass confiscation of property, gulag deaths, etc. Those are active killings of people.
- andrepd 5y agoOkay, then capitalism far out-scores Marxist-Leninism in that departament. From man-made famines in colonies to the genocide of natives. Near the entire land area of the US was made by "mass confiscation of property", oops I mean manifest destiny.
