    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.

      I’m shocked to see people still rehashing this debunked claim so many years later.
