I’m confused by this comment. Can you explain what you mean by “Genocide is a constant, ongoing foundation of capitalism, colonialism”?
I don’t understand what you mean, and my attempts to interpret it lead me to silly conclusions which I doubt are what you’re trying to communicate here.
From what I understand, “genocide” refers to the eradication of a people or culture. This includes things like killing all Jews/Palestinians (e.g. Nazis and Israelis), imprisoning and “re-educating” an entire ethnic group (like the Chinese are doing to the Uyghurs), and much more.
Colonialism very easily falls into that definition, but I struggle to see how captialism does.
Capitalism is just the modern label for the same systems that made colonialism tick. The same exploitation is still going on, people are still dying for the same reasons, and the same elite is sitting on top profiting from all of it.
The whole idea of a free and competitive market where good ideas thrive and people that work hard are rewarded is a sham. It’s the same BS idea the elite has always sold us.

There are no great men.
Ok, I see now that my silly conclusions were on point lol
“everything I don’t like is capitalism” is not a good philosophy to have if you want to be taken seriously.
I’m shocked to see people still rehashing this debunked claim so many years later.
