Capitalism Annual Death Toll

40 comments

We should do the VoC method where every death in a capitalist country is tallied up then raised to the power of a random positive integer.
- Cumulative death toll estimate is about a billion. If you use black book logic, you can maybe push it up to 10 billion lol
  
  Where did you find this?

Now do imperialism! I wonder how many people have died in Yemen this year, besieged by capitalist Saudi Arabia, with weapons they bought from the capitalist USA. We don't actually know the number, because our capitalist media is not interested in making it a big story.

Communism is when no foo-

This should radicalize any neoliberal with even slightest amount of decency
- -Neoliberal
  -Slightest amount of decency
  Pick one
  
  You got the point

Cappie apologists are crying when faced with facts. "... but ... but ... communism killed waan hundred gigantillion people!!!"
Capitalism not only kills people but it also leaves some of them alive after robbing their brains.

I'm impressed that not a single person died from both lack of water & food
- "Well I could start a meaningful discussion about the accuracy of the data or I could say something smug that downplays human suffering. Nobody can disprove that I'm a smuglord and I can't be bothered defending my assumptions by looking for alternate data. So this is a no brainer (just like me)"
  
  I don't think I can really start a "meaningful discussion" here, can I? The image didn't even define how does it count a death to be caused by capitalism to start with. It just points to anything happen in the world and says "it's capitalism".
- Lack of clean water, not literally dehydration.
  
  Either you drink the dirty water and die from that or you don't and die from dehydration. What's the point of the distinction of lack of water and lack of clean water?
- I'm more impressed that only 8 people died from lack of clean water.
  
  Laugh track
  
  when you are so anglo that you can't even read numbers with a different separator.
