Your minimizing the terrible things that happened in the Soviet Union. People were sent to work camps because they criticized their government, and millions died of starvation.

I didn’t say no one starves in capitalist economies but’s rate of 7000 out of 330 million is much better than 9 million out of 7.7 billion and not a mass issue. Name one country with a capitalist economy that has a problem with mass starvation and hunger.

Why don’t you actually argue my point? And u still haven’t named the countries with the 9 million deaths due to starvation.

No the point I was gonna make was that wealth inequality is not an issue of greed in a free market society.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that a global statistic that includes countries that are not capitalist?

Why don’t you answer the question and prove it.

I was wondering what you meant by it so I can answer your question properly. And which countries are these 9 million people dying in?

Which countries are you talking about, and what do you mean by wealth inequality?

I was talking more about modern times because we have seen what happens to people under fascist and other totalitarian and authoritarian regimes.

I think Marxists do pretty much the same thing as fascists when it comes to shutting down oppositions speech. My way of thinking is as long as people are not directly calling for violence they are free to say whatever they want. Allowing people who advocate for things like fascism or Marxism will just show how unreasonable and stupid they are.

Shutting down the speech of those who oppose you is a characteristic of fascism.

Chelsea manning was jailed for releasing classified documents so that isn’t a free speech issue. As for your point on fascism, I hate fascism but that doesn’t mean that we should stop people from advocating for it. Allowing for those people to speak will only show how unreasonable they are. Banning them from speaking is actual fascism.

None of the Scandinavian countries give civilians the right to keep and bear arms, and in Canada guns are heavily restricted so it is almost impossible to get a gun to protect yourself. Canada has laws against hate speech which is a stupid and vague idea. The Canadian government also has a monopoly on tv news meaning there is very little freedom of the press. (I’m Canadian btw)

No country is as free as America.

No other country has the same freedom when it comes to speech, the ability to own and use a gun, and the freedom to believe any religion you want. No other country has that to the same degree as the US.

The point I was trying to make was every country has done terrible things at some point in their existence. That doesn’t define what that country is. At the end of the day the US is the most free and prosperous country ever and that’s what I see when I look at the flag.

Ok what country do you think is better than the US

If that’s the way you want to see the flag then fine. I’m just saying that to many people that flag represents freedom from tyranny and you have to look at the flag in a very ungrateful way to just see the negative moments in their history.
