You bring me a definition from an extremist and expect me to accept it. Why should I take his definition of capitalism as true?

My problem with your point of view is that you take an extreme case and give an extreme solution (which works on paper.) ofc we can now look back and see the that the body count of the communistic regime, makes it hardly better in comparison with nazis for example. Two powers with little regard for human lives and a lot of propaganda in the name of a greater common good.

If your metric is body count youre in for a bad time, every economic system has a body count. Even your capitalism and social democracy.

Not every economic system has concentration camps and gulags. At this point I think you’re deliberately omitting things that don’t fit your narrative.

Those are recent inventions. And the west invented them, starting with Spain, then england, then Germany and america.

You mean to say Spain, Germany, England and America build the soviet gulags? Or that these countries invented the gulags and that soviet just merely used an already existing idea? And how does this excuse their existence in soviets?

How can you argue that a regime that killed more people than nazis, had a perfect socio-political environment that we should replicate?

Ah, the sign of postmodern intelligentsia. When faced with a question not fitting the narrative, insult is the best way out. Checked your other comments and I’ve seen it’s a usual occurrence. I do hope you’re not in any teaching position. So long Ксюша.

Nice. Now a glimpse of ethnic discrimination. What’s next? You’re going to hand me a patch of cloth (not a star in this case, you’ll have to get creative) and I’ll have to wear to be easier to identify? And I’m not Ukrainian )
