  Do you have a source for that number other than a CIA funded think-tank?

      Most estimates range from 15-30 million. A smaller proportion of the population than the Irish potato famine which was caused by British mismanagement but I don’t hear that talked about as a reason why capitalism is terrible much.

        15-30 million

        Hello yeah Mao stays winning.

        I don’t hear that talked about as a reason why capitalism is terrible much.

        Probably because the overwhelming majority of people agree it was bad, especially here on lemmy. Find me 5 people that say the potato famine was good, actually, and I’ll find you 3 entire instances that’ll ban me for saying “maybe killing 15-30 million people for societal progress isn’t the best strategy.”

        Tankies get more pushback here because nobody is singing the praises of capitalism.
