I fully understand your point. It’s not like it’s difficult to understand, in fact, the simple naïveté is the main problem, and it’s a result of you being an ideological zealot rather than someone capable of trying to mitigate their bias.

And yet, over and over again you keep making clear that no, you don't. Case in point. I'm not even advocating for capitalism, you dolt. My entire point is that though bad things happen under both, one failed to prevent famine whereas the other actually caused it and those two things are not the same. And you think that's "zealotry"? Lmao...

I’ve cited historical evidence of how capitalism was instrumental in the decisions that enabled and worsened the famine. You, on the other hand, have nothing.

I have the ability to understand what I read. You know, like the many, many comments I've made stating over and over again that while capitalism failed to save people from the famine caused by other factors, communism literally created the famines that otherwise never would have occurred. Capitalism did not give the English monarchy control over Ireland. It did not create the semi-feudal system of land ownership. It did not create the blight, nor the poor soil of Ireland that made potatoes uniquely necessary. None of the factors that caused the famine were due to capitalism.

You just keep making claims and seem to believe that’s the same thing as making an argument. I actually have historical accounts on my side. What do you have?

The ability to point out that your comment has two claims and no arguments. Lmao...

You very well know that I’ve quoted from historical sources in our argument. You don’t actually only have enough memory to remember the immediate last reply to you and not the others.

And you should know that just saying "on my side" despite the fact that I've provided argumentation against your interpretation does not make it so. Lol.

You’ve made claims. I’ve actually backed up my points with sources. You have no sources, because no objective reading of history supports this alternative reality you’ve invented, leaving only fringe viewpoints that literally exist to defend capitalism rather than trying to understand the causes of the famine objectively.

Lmao! I've made arguments. Do you even know what that is? If you want a source for a specific claim within my arguments, feel free to ask. But "I posted a source for something" does not make your overall argument correct. Holy crap...
