[Someone from a former socialist country. My parents stood in literal bread lines]
Marxist governments have caused exponentially more harm (e.g., genocides) than monopolistic companies.
Both are bad but the first one results in harm always.
- tehjoker 2y agocapitalist countries literally starved other countries outside the imperial core. gaza is in famine today to satisfy the lust for control of world markets. churchill starved india. the list goes on. the only genocide i can think of by a nominally socialist govt was the cambodian genocide, backed by the US and China, and the ppl in charge were really weird and not marxist. they were rigid idealists afaik. that genocide was halted by vietnamese marxists.
