The numbers don't lie.

[Confusious]

1. Boy, oversimplify much?

Not surprising, since you're pushing the communist Dress-up day all the time.

Communism? Something else that has failed?

libertarianism, Communism, two sides of the same coin, both naive.

You forgot to include every war by every country since 1492.

Also the wars and purges by the communists. Only fair.


One other thing: Maybe you should include the lives saved also. Didn't see the communist countries coming up with a cure for polio, or creating an internet.

2. Really?

While I generally agree with the premise, at least in part, there is not a single citation or data source given.

How do you know the numbers are correct and not just pulled out of the air? How can you say, "The numbers don't lie" when you have no idea where they came from? At least one commenter disputes the numbers in Serbia.

Without sourced information, there is zero credibility, and that hurts the cause that was supposed to be helped.

3. This is...

absolute bullshit.

[ilaughatrightwingers]

16. How so?

Please explain.

[SDuderstadt]

17. You've got to be...

kidding. How about you first supply evidence of the "numbers", then show the causal relationship between them and "capitalism".

This list is as stupid as the RW lists that purport to show deaths from "communism".

[demosincebirth]

4. You are really naive if you believe all those numbers. Anyone can

pull numbers out of the air and try and make a point. Those are just ridiculous.

[Amonester]

5. Wow... Four replies singing "La-La-La, I Can't Hear Ya" with...

fingers in their ears...

The truth hurts, badly.


On edit: make it three and a small fraction.

And I would go further to include all the non-insured who already died from illnesses they had no (or not enough) money (or credit...) to be treated early enough, but these hundreds of thousand victims don't count. They never count. :(

[SDuderstadt]

6. The list is...

absolute bullshit. You insisting it's the "truth" doesn't change that one bit.

[Amonester]

7. If that makes you happy, good for you. (nt)

[Confusious]

9. What about europe

They are capitalist countries, yet they provide health care. Omitting relevant information to make a point? You know what they say about that. If you don't, you haven't learned enough.

[Amonester]

10. Ok, the 'number' is not the 'exact' number. So what.

WHO knows the 'exact' number, and why would anyone have to care about if it's the 'exact' number or not? Capitalist statisticians?

For most, the key (and true) words 'victims of Capitalism' are those that matter there.

Bye now.

[Confusious]

12. I didn't say anything about the number

I said Europe was a capitalist, it has healthcare. How does that fit with blaming capitalism for us not having healthcare.

[humbled_opinion]

11. Its all the fault of that bitch....

Eve, damn her for forcing adam to eat that apple.....


LOL...

[sulphurdunn]

8. Even if these figures are accurate

which is unlikely, capitalism is failing to kill off the human population faster than it is increasing. Capitalism needs a large pool are cheap labor you know.

13. get back to me when

Coca cola starts a war until them, u cannot blame wars on capitalism. You still need idiot politicians to pull the trigger 4 war

[MoonlitwingsX]

14. From what I can tell, besides the US..

Most nations in the EU have a mix of socialist / capitalism, no? Corporate activities seem to be kept on a strict, tight leash as it should be, instead of running rampant in their quest for their corporate utopia-- pure laissez-faire capitalism.

[ilaughatrightwingers]

15. Doesn't matter if it's "laissez fair"

It's still capitalism.

For one thing, capitalism has never been a truly free market system. Ever read "The Iron Fist Behind the Invisible Hand"?
