[lbo-talk] Western states have created the biggest wars in history ( was fartback)

[Charles Brown]

Wojtek
It is an unquestionable fact that Western democracies created unprecedented
peace and prosperity, thus ending the state of perpetual war that
characterized earlier stages of development.

^^^^\

CB: This is a profoundly _false_ statement. Western states have brought war
and the whole mode of destruction to levels unprecedented in human history.
More people have been killed in the wars of Western states than any other
wars in history. WWI and WWII are far and away the worst wars in human
history. The species is now realistically in threat of self-extinguishment
due to the existence of nuclear weapons brought to us by Western states.
This is the falsest statement Wojtek has ever sent to this list.
Outrageously false !
