    I didn’t ever say it was the fault of communism. I said it was the fault of Mao. Because he severely mismanaged, well, everything. But if you want to shout into the void about capitalism then go ahead. Shout away.

      Very much sounded like you were implying it had to do with the economic system, but if youre saying the economic systems has no fault to play in either case, cool cool.

      Should we hold people like that responsible then in your view? The people who cause great harm to the rest of the world whether that be through capitalist or communist or any other mode of production?

        Yes. And if we’re holding a person to the flame then it’s fair to compare them to another person, but not to compare them to another system. Somewhere in these comments I offered Churchill as someone who merrily starved India.
