More so, this is nothing more than a troll post and reaction to the thread I made about the cops shooting the teenager. Also, N. Korea is a State Capitalist society, so you can actually chock this tragedy up as another for capitalism. Good try though.
Your little beloved capitalist system has killed far more people than any self-proclaimed communist has, and continues to do so just from the fact that 30,000 people starve to death per day. And thats just from starvation - that doesn't include other social consequences of the system such as lack of medical care, poverty and crime, and all the imperialist wars raged by the capitalists. Fuck outta here man.
While I understand where you are coming from, I think it's pretty ridiculous to claim that the 30,000 people who starve to death each day in the world is somehow solely the fault of capitalism, and not the other tyrants and monsters who contribute to the failed social structures that they live in. Capitalism may not be your cup of tea, but you are going to have to do some serious mental gymnastics to prove that it is the direct reason for those deaths.
