vietnam war killed millions? hey I agree vietnam was a dumb war who make US look even more dumb, but the damage done on water sources on vietnam really damned the country, but saying vietnam killed more then socialism..... venezuela is kinda there to tell you
Yes, I agree. Socialist governance has delivered worse results than anything else. However, take a look at US and European foreign policy in the last 200 years. The US has been bombing and subjugating countries for decades. An opponent of free market economics could point to that quite validly and demonstrate how corporate greed is killing hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
What were the Iraq and Afghanistan wars about? Freedom? Don’t make me laugh.
On the other hand, the Bosnian intervention saved a lot of lives. Some credit has to be given there.
The point I was making is you can’t equate someone with left wing views as being complicit in murder. They are misguided. In many ways, some elements of socialist policy has added to the strength of western democracy. Indeed, conscription to the army is a completely statist concept and a true libertarian would not consider that. The law in the US also does not appear in any way geared towards personal freedoms. Perhaps more so with speech, but look at how big the prison population is, and how brutal the conditions are.
No socialist countries have had foreign policy even remotely as aggressive as the US. Not even the Soviet Union. You have to hand it to them, they are much better at respecting other nations but extremely good at murdering their own.
