Sure. But that wasn’t the stated goal.

You can lead someone to knowledge, but you can’t make them think.

We have a grammar for that.

Good context 👍

lessor evil

Your life as a lessee must be truly awful to have made you this angry.

You’re weird.

Should we hold people like that responsible then in your view? The people who cause great harm to the rest of the world whether that be through capitalist or communist or any other mode of production?

Yes. And if we’re holding a person to the flame then it’s fair to compare them to another person, but not to compare them to another system. Somewhere in these comments I offered Churchill as someone who merrily starved India.

I’m not even disputing that. I’m just saying Mao done fucked up. And if that triggers you, then you’ve got a problem.

Which leader was that?

Y’all are trying to count all the evils of capitalism and colonialism against the bone headed incompetence of Mao and it just doesn’t make any sense.

I didn’t ever say it was the fault of communism. I said it was the fault of Mao. Because he severely mismanaged, well, everything. But if you want to shout into the void about capitalism then go ahead. Shout away.

Tsk. Mao is not the same sort of concept as capitalism. Has he killed more or fewer people than mosquitoes or bananas? What about too short green traffic lights? Moonless nights? All questions that make the same amount of sense. Mate.

Added: Feel free to count a famine caused by a capitalist leader against that person’s score. That’s being consistent.

So, all the famine, death and destruction caused by capitalist exploitation of third world countries like india and most of the africsn continent can also directly be tied back to capitalism right?

Sure, if that’s the comparison you’re making. But “capitalism” Vs Mao is not a comparison that makes sense.

You could maybe count Churchill’s famine in India or his jolly little wars in Africa if you want to be argumentative. Or just accept that Mao caused millions of deaths through pig-headed incompetence and move on.

I think the downvotes are from the “lol” where the question mark normally goes.

Because a communist dictator coming into power is often followed by severe mismanagement and famine and the deaths of millions. It’s not the same sort of evil as killing people deliberately, but they’re equally dead.

This is true, but absurdly out of context

That’s literally fascist propaganda. Fasces is Latin for a bundle of sticks and that was the image of strength that Italian fascists were trying to evoke.

Yeah, in the UK you might bum a fag. Which, now that I write it out, can mean something very different.
