    Actually I bring this up because when talking about famines people love to downplay the strife caused by capitalists maximizing profit and socializing loses.

    Ironically your last paragraph is a pretty accurate paraphrasing of the usual dialogue around capitalisms faults.

      Yeah, that’s capitalism’s version of Tankies. See why I don’t like Tankies now? And Tankies even have the cult of personality thing I can’t fucking stand too, they’re just in essence Red Trumpers. Capitalists can as well, of course, but it isn’t a prerequisite like it is for Stalinists or Maoists (I mean hell it’s in the name lmao).
