"I don't look at recessions as a bad thing. I mean, it's bad for America. It's bad for the people that are unemployed. It's usually an opportunity for J.P. Morgan." - Jamie Dimon, CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase

Please explain why your fellow Marxists starved 30 million peasants and workers to death in my grandfather’s country. Weren’t your kind supposed to look out for the poor and the little guys? So why, when the famine hit, did your comrades confiscate what little food the peasantry has left and give those food to the petite bourgeoisie living in cities? And this is not just one country: communist regimes across the world had a tendency to sacrifice the peasants and workers whenever their policies screw up the economy and the people’s livelihoods. Capitalists do not disguise the fact that make money by exploiting the labour of others; marxists on the other hand promise the working class the moon but betray them viciously every time there is a choice to be made. Is this the kind of future utopia you had in mind?
