Why would you bring up that number if you don't know capitalism's death toll?

Are you arguing out of good faith?

I read the article, history of communism. I tried to find a death tole for capitalism, I couldn't find any, you are the one that asked me, figured you maybe had a source.

The free speech thing, that is the current law, we obviously have political speech, what political speech do you see as 'calls for acts of violence'. Example. "Someone needs to kill this guy", "someone go punch this guy in the face"(A famous one frequently used by people taking up far left ideologies.) They often target completely innocent people, if that's not you then that's not you, I'm not suggesting you do that. I'm talking about the group of Antifa's that claim they aren't a group yet organize as a group.

The problem I have cam to understand with attempts to further limit speech is, where do you draw the line, what speech is considered hate speech and what speech is not. It's hard to draw that line and constantly causes socialist countries to dive further and further in to banning words and ideas, punishable by law. Freedom of speech is very important to protect. Yes, some people may say harsh things, even racist thing, the upside to that is if you dare say it to the wrong person or someone else hears you verbally abusing someone that can't fend for themselves, odds are someone is going to step in and kick some ass. I've even done that, they weren't being racist, but they were insisting they were going to jump the guy, I stepped in and let them know they will be fighting me also.

I'm not trying to put you down or anything, we have a deference in opinion. You think communism could work in america, I don't see it that way. We definitely have issues that need to be resolved, maybe some day possibly a shared wealth system. The problem is how do we get there without complete chaos or ending up in a government body which still hoards the majority of wealth. It's a dangerous move to give government such power over people because of the corruption factor. People are corrupt, you will never get rid of corrupt people, they will weed themselves into any system. One of the theorized pluses to capitalism is it's easier fight off corruption compared to a communist or socialist society.

Police aren't legally suppose to result to violence unless you are resisting. I say legally because of course they do break the law, that goes back to the corruption factor. Getting arrested is not an act of violence, in most cases people are arrested for good reasoning, they broke a law or multiple laws. Like selling crack is obviously not good, so laws were passed. If you get caught selling crack you get arrested. That is justice, not an act of violence.

If you get arrested, even if you did no wrong it's best to not resist, then get a lawyer and sue the S*** out of them. Doesn't always work out right, but to combat corruption we are implementing more laws, like the dash cam in a cop car, if they turn it off the are vulnerable to law suits. They are starting to incorporate cams on their uniforms also. This is to record the events so others get to see and cops who do abuse their power will be held accountable for such actions.
