    You’re literally blaming all these societies for famines where intense external causes are cited. And capitalism kills 20 million people a year, currently. Also, read Victorian holocausts

    Yes, capitalism as it currently runs is fucked up with problems. But at its core its the driver of success that got you your mobile phone in your hands.

    20 million deaths a year.

    You know the Soviets came up with a lot of the tech that led to smartphones, with the rest of it coming from publicly funded research?

    Use that mobile phone to fix those problems instead of dreaming of perfect mass murdering societies.

    Isn’t trying to reform capitalism dreaming of perfect mass murdering societies?
