ACKTSHUALLY THO the Irish potato famine was socialism actually. Because see the British were trying to save the Irish FROM socialism, so they HAD to take all the crops. Because, ummm, if they let the Irish keep the crops that they grew, WHICH WERE FOR THE BRITISH, then that was socialism.
Also the Irish did it to themselves they were just too lazy to work. The British were starving too. Because see the famine. And it started in Kansas. JUST LIKE THE SPANISH FLU. So anyway now we have a free and capitalism Ireland like baby Irish Jesus intended.
Glad to have cleared that up mate.
Don’t forget the bison skull mountain in the US. They exterminated the bison population for no other reason than to starve the Indigenous peoples into submission.

India was under authoritarian occupation by the bloodthirsty British during its last famine.
Same as Ireland right?, is it really a gotcha moment to say capitalism doesn’t work because sometimes it is installed under an authoritarian system, even though more so socialism is installed under a authoritarian system vast majority of the time
All states are “authoritarian,” the difference is which class is the ruling class. In capitalism, that’s the capitalist class, but in socialism, it’s the working class. The state is simply the instrument by which the ruling class in any given society resolves class conflicts in favor of the ruling class. That’s why in socialist countries, metrics for the working class have skyrocketed, but they largely stagnate or decay in capitalism.
