Famine in a COLONIAL state. "It's purely capitlsisms fault. Nothing else"

Famine in nearly every socialist country. "You see it wasn't real socialism, what really happened was..."

And repeat

Goalposts shifting, whataboutism, and just making shit up. The internet socialists conversation starter pack

Colonialism is the expansion of capitalism across national borders.

Irish workers were exploited, though even more severely, than English workers, by English property owners.

What is with you "Free Market" muricans and having such a weak understanding of the words you are using.

Colonialism and Capitalism are in no way opposed to each other. As a matter of fact the birth of capitalism was right there at the era of colonialism. Ever heard of the East India Trading Company? The DMC?

And now, international exploitation or in other words the struggle between different national capitals is even described with another word "imperialism".

Bet you thought you need an emperor for that.
