Bad Conquerors

Whenever western capitalist intellects write, and publish for sale, books (Red Dawn Over China, How Communism Conquered a Quarter of Humanity being the latest) which document their anti-communist conquering concerns about Mao, Stalin, Castro, and other commies, it makes me think: Were communist conquerors the only bad conquerors?

Were there any bad predatory capitalist conquerors?

So, I turned to Artificial Intelligence. I asked it:

“Is there a total number of Native Americans who were conquered, oppressed, had mass atrocities committed against them, were killed or executed, and made slaves in the New World by predatory capitalist conquerors, colonials, settlers, and governments?

AI easily and quickly answered:

“Estimates of the total number of Native Americans killed or who died due to oppression, mass atrocities, and the effects of conquering, colonization and capitalization (slave economy) by Europeans and settlers in the Americas are massive (emphasis added).

“The most widely cited statistics indicate that upwards of 90% of indigenous humans died following European (white) conquest, totaling tens of millions of people. 

“Researchers estimating the impact of conquest, colonization and capitalization of the economy (slavery) in North, Central, and South America document that 55 to 56 million indigenous people died between 1492 and 1600.

“Estimates for the number of indigenous humans in what is now the U.S. and Canada before 1492 vary. But there was a decline from around 10–12 million to below 300,000 by 1900.

“For example, during the California Gold Rush (1846–1873), the number of Native non-white people in California dropped from 150,000 to 30,000, with an estimated 9,000 to 16,000 murdered (emphasis added), often in state-sponsored massacres (emphasis added).

“Up to 90% of deaths were caused by "virgin soil" epidemics. Virus epidemics such as smallpox, measles, and influenza, to which Native humans had no immunity, wiped them out.

“Countless Native Americans were killed (emphasis added) in violent conflicts, such as the Sand Creek Massacre, the Penobscot Indian killings, and Jackson’s Trail of Tears.

The slave-owning Andrew Jackson, America’s President, drove more than in 4-thousand Native Americans to their deaths during his Trail of Years from the Slave State of Alabama to Territory of Oklahoma.

“This conquest and conquering of humans included, but not limited to even more forced removal and intentional introduction of diseases with smallpox blankets.

Mass starvation of native people was caused by killing buffalo and selling their hides for profit.

“Native humans became slaves for capitalist conquerors.

“Intellects classify this period as the worst (emphasis added) human holocaust in history”

Commies and predatory capitalists were bad conquerors, people.
