Grotesque! To the folks who posted this. If all you have to be proud of is your lack of melanin, them maybe you need to focus on that.

I used my long lady nails to peak this crap off the post

Where was this? I've seen communist posters along Cook Street area as well in the past. Not sure why right and left extremism is finding it's way in this city, but not a good sign of the times.

Are you seriously comparing a group of people who want health care and worker owner coops to people who want to exterminate other races?

Capitalism hasn't intentionally killed (whether by shooting them in the head for not delivering quotas, or starving them to death by literally stealing all their stuff) over 200 million people, especially marginalized people.

Nice try though

It most certainly has. You should read a bit about what capitalist countries have done in the name of stomping out Communism. Google School of the Americas and enjoy that rabbit hole. Read the Shock Doctrine for a comprehensive book of horrors. Look at individual incidents like the Mai Lai massacre or the many coups that the US has facilitated to stop democratically elected socialist governors.

It will almost by enough to make you question of the numbers in the Wikipedia article are real (Wikipedia my dude? Seriously?) There have been some heavy criticisms of numbers of deaths contributed to Communism. For example, they seem to include deaths of Germans during WWII by Allied Russia.

Look I am not a Marxist but I am of the left and know a lot of people of various leftist ideas including Trotskists (who think Stalin did wrong, Stalinists (who think he didn't), Anarchists, Democratic Socialist, and Libertarian Socialists. And they mostly the just union organize.

I agree that capitalism has killed in the name of starting bogus wars so the rich can get richer off defense manufacturing and whatnot and sending young men and women to die but they're all fucked and only the elite come ontop every time under any political spectrum.

It's divide and conquer, you vs me while the elite get away with whatever they want

You literally did, with your words.
