- psychoslave 3y agoIsn't that something that is rather supposed to be granted by democracy and republic? Sure such a regime can enact capitalist policies, but that is never mandatory nor exclusive: capitalism is also implementable in oligarchic plutocraty.

- psychoslave 3y agoWhat counts is that supposed to refer to? To be clear, I didn't mean that capitalism or communism is worst or even equivalent on all matters. I'm unsure of what you mean with body count here, and have no clue of what metrics and quantifications it is supposed to show meaningful important differences.
- olddustytrail 3y agoReally? Do you tend to include local genocides or massive slave trades when you're doing your count? I'm neither a communist nor a capitalist.
