Reply to comment by Gayasskat in What do people on this sub think about the Maine Communist Party by [deleted]
The Irish famine was literally caused by a Monarchy and repeated laws discriminating against the Irish, set forth by the Monarchy, not by the economic system

What economic system was the monarchy using. Would it have made a difference if a parliament decided it instead of the monarchy

No, it wouldn’t have made a difference if Parliament had decided it, because of high anti-Irish sentiment held by the English government in general at the time. This is a false equivalence

I think you're failing to see a bigger picture. And that's still 3 words out of everything I said
