 I didn’t advocate for communism at all in that post. The USSR did starve people, a lot of people. But to pretend capitalism hasn’t? Stupidity at best.

There quite literally are fewer people starving in the united states than in any other major country in the history of the world. We have actual data on this. Equating our system with any self described communist country when it comes to hunger just shows a lack of critical thinking.

can you remember that long? I figured it worked like a goldfish where you have to start fresh every 15 seconds because you filled up your brain space. You’re certainly not capable of defending your own positions, that much is obvious.

No you didn’t. Your position is that the victims of capitalism are people who get rubber ducks at hotels. My argument is that thousands of people starve or die in the cold because of capitalism. That’s a fact. So, unless you’re going to tell me we don’t have enough space for the homeless, or enough food for the starving, then it looks like lots of people die horrible tragic deaths under and because of capitalism that could’ve otherwise been prevented.

Your response to that was to say “people starved under communism too” But I never said the didn’t. So no. You didn’t defend your position at all.

I guess I gotta explain it. You ever heard of the phrase people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?

I know your solution to the problem u presented with capitalism is communism, and that has had a significantly worse track record then capitalism in the problem you yourself raised

My solution to people starving and being homeless isn’t communism.

And regardless it doesn’t matter. Whether or not you believe my solution would worsen the problem, your initial claim was still objectively wrong. The use of the glass house argument literally concedes that on principle.

You lied about people being hurt by capitalism to make capitalism look good. I haven’t lied once about the USSR or communism. What does that say about you?

But that’s my point, I’m not arguing capitalism vs communism. You are. I’m saying that capitalism has caused significantly more harm than was represented in the initial post I quoted. Which is a fact.
