Quoted context
These are the quoted author’s words.
Many had a bad 20th century. Millions suffered ~100% losses. That’s what communism means. And what war entails. Only US, Canada, Australia escaped. As US “only” had a Great Depression. So: compounding isn’t guaranteed. Not a law of physics. Very bad government means you go to 0. https://t.co/vIojVhvVFF
