Telling about the death toll of capitalism.
Hello everyone, im new to Marxism and I recently watched some content by Hakim from YouTube regarding the structural violence and death toll of capitalism and imperialism. It opened my eyes. We always hear corporate media talk about the mistakes of communist regimes, but we rarely talk about how capitalism has killed millions of people every single year trough artificial scarcity. Global food production could easily feed millions of people or even billions yet people still starve especially in places like Africa. Simply because distributing resources to poor regions isn't profitable for the free market. This is a direct consequence of capitalist exploitation and imperialist history. Furthermore while western powers point their fingers at others, they ignore they're own continuous military interventions and extraction across the globe. Socialism can always learn from their mistakes and become better but capitalism is an unfixable thing built to destroy people's lives. I wanted to share this because it made me realize how unfair this global system really is. As a beginner, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how we can better explain this structural violence to people who are completely blind to it.
