> Capitalism did not kill the natives, the colonial governments and other European governments did

Then neither did communism. The governments did.

> And even then, the "system" in place at the time was mercantilism, not capitalism.

Sure. Just like the soviet union, china, north korea, etc are not true communists. Idiots on both sides always make the same excuses.

> Once again, growing up under communism implies with 99% certainty that you do not want communism.

If that were the case, a certain percentage of the world wouldn't have had to spent trillions to undermine and overthrow communism.

> It is an implication, not a bi-implication.

Morons on both sides love to throw around logic terms they don't understand to buttress their shitty argument. That and silly statistics. 99% certainty. Good one.





Well capitalism does not always mean bad, but communism does. Therefore, one is objectively worse than the other.
