Hi, I'm an advocate for democracy, human rights, and civil liberty with an aversion to harm, which many would say is the definition of a Liberal. Capitalism has killed countless people and continues to do so today in places like the USA, China, and Russia as well as around the world. Greed and wealth disparity is a disease ever-present.

Historically, plutocracy was the cause and justification for many horrible atrocities including the Atlantic Slave Trade and the Opium Wars.

I've personally never met a Liberal who defended any of those things. That would probably be more the Laissez-Faire and Anti-Taxation crowds sometimes referred to as libertarians in the USA, I'm sure there are other groups as well.

You know what I would never do, though? Compare communism/socialism to whatever the fuck the Chinese Autocracy is. That's just delusional.
