America is genocidal, sure, but so is every single other society in the history of civilization. America is exceptional because of the technology and the art it contributed to genocide, which is the goal of every civiliztion, remember. Pointing out the difference in scale of US atrocities just prevents us working together for greater justice.

      Capitalism did caused it, but it only goes to the certain level of socialisation of production. Past this the need for profit turn it into, as the previous poster said, "bazinga bullshit that only helps the most wealthy" and good old price gouging on necessities for the rest of society.
