As if ending the open global Slave trade wasn't penance enough but it's ok to starve and murder 100 million people because ... Communism

It actually began in Florence and Venice. While Florence won with this, afaik.

This is what happens when you stop teaching kids history.

Whoever posted that is a moron.

Capitalism has been the default for virtually all civilizations since history started.

Communism is evil because true-believer communists deliberately caused a famine (actually many of them) thinking that this was the best way to the future they wanted.

No, really.

All of that is still happening.

The term late stage capitalism is already over 150 years old.

People in the 1860s thought they were seeing it.

It's no different to every generation of Christians thinking they are living in the end times and just as stupid.
