      Just in your lifetime, how many innocent people has America killed in the pursuit of capitalist ideals. There’s literally genocide in all systems because the people at the top are often corrupted by power. The idea that we shouldn’t help people because some people were murdered is ridiculous. Have a word with yourself.

          Are the Russians forcing American cops to kill over 1000 people a year? Did the Russians spike the cost of insulin to $250 a vial? Are the Russians stopping America from passing minimum wage increases, universal healthcare, gun reform, abortion rights, trans rights, removing money from politics? Dumb fuck.

              You can have capitalism without cop-violence

              No, you really can’t. Capital cannot exist without someone to protect it from the working class.

              and its way better than socialism that inherently comes with violence towards the common folk.

              You have no fucking clue what you’re blathering about. Just shut the fuck up already.

                  Cuba has a significantly lower crime rate than the US across the board. Once again, you have no clue what you’re talking about.

                  Go lick boots somewhere else.

          The USA is bad because it does bad stuff. Russian propaganda isn’t the reason America habitually invades the middle East. Maybe you’ll grow up enough to have a discussion without attacking people at some point though.

      Not all leftist ideologies include genocide. Yes those did happen in the past, but unlike fascism, leftist ideologies are not inherently bad. The only bad thing was the implementation of it. Countries like Norway, although capitalist, have many policies that would be considered by many people to be “socialist”, but do you see a genocide there?

          See, there’s your problem, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

          Time to open your eyes and look at what the actual left wants and does, instead of the one in your imagination. While you’re at it, do the same for the parties you do support, and check if what they’re realizing actually matches what they’re promising - and if that actually helps people instead of just the wealthy.
