"Yeah well if you think a revolution is necessary why don't you do it yourself" same reason you can't just vote yourself out of a regulatorily captured duopoly, because that's not how reality works halfwit.

I'm not hand waving anything, I'm correcting you on your deliberate misrepresentation, and no actually the death toll for China's cultural revolution is nowhere close to the US's. The Native American genocide alone puts us in a respectable lead for deadliest regime in history, our countless wars since then are icing on the murder cake, and you're happy to make all the excuses in the world for it while accusing others because the only thing you actually care about is yourself, you don't give a shit how many people the US empire kills as long as you and yours stay comfortable.

I'm glad you finally came around on the initial point. Now Google harm reduction. We do what we can with what we have.

You're right. I was talking about the infographic of deaths in post 9/11 wars from a few days ago but I wasn't specific.

you don't give a shit how many people the US empire kills as long as you and yours stay comfortable.

As established, genocide wasn't even on the ballot. Not having a choice in a shit election is not "voting for genocide" and certainly not the same level as "well Mao made some bad decisions but great leap!!!" That's equivalent to me saying the genocide of native Americans was justified by how big and powerful America became. No, the ends don't justify the means. That's the difference between leftists and tankies.

"Actually I was referring to a specific arbitrary time frame within which I'm not completely fucking wrong" lol cope, you're not a leftist, you're a morally bankrupt intellectually stunted mess of a liberal
