• capitalism isn't a hospital
• capitalism isn't life support
• the global working class isn't supported by capitalism
• socialists aren't random people walking into a hospital fiddling with life support
• capitalism isn't keeping people clothed and fed
• people are clothing and feeding themselves by selling their labor power to a capitalist for less than it is worth in order to scrape together enough currency to purchase necessities of life
• socialists do in fact understand economics
• marx studied the physiocrats, adam smith, david ricardo, mill, malthus, economic statistics, health statistics, legal documents like the factory acts, etc. for 20 years before finishing Capital
• imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism is full of economic data
• any socialist who writes on unequal exchange or imperialism tends to cite international trade data
• some of the bourgeoisie's economic hitmen have come forward and admitted what they do for the ruling class in their memoirs
• the CIA and other intelligence agencies in capitalist nations have come forward and declassified their many efforts to sabotage the development of socialist countries through means including but not limited to: assassination, genocide, drug-running, spying, sanctions, coups, embargoes, loans, proxy wars, invasion, colonization, industrial sabotage, agricultural sabotage, poisoning the population, and arming fifth-columnists
• capitalism already causes millions of deaths, mainly through social murder 🦶🗒️
• socialism doesn't cause deaths, capitalism's sabotage of attempts to do socialism causes millions of deaths
• capitalism regularly throws people out of work, privatizes people's means of subsistence, forces people to go into debt and take on internships before they can even find gainful employment, appropriates people's surplus value, etc.

it's such a fucking asinine analogy. i'm sure tons of fart sniffing bourgeois looking for reassurance that the exploitation they do is morally good are thrilled to read it.
