Communism life expectancy

But how does that average compare to industrialized nations? Both rapidly industrialized during the period you linked to while many other countries were still left behind. One big change would be the expansion of medical care

You don't want to account for too many variables, otherwise you no longer get the desired result.
- So is industrialization something that just happens if you are lucky and has nothing to do with policy?
Industrialization is a big part of marxist thought and many countries around the world still havent industrialized to this day. For example countries in africa and india etc. . So that industrialization even happened is a good thing.

Edit: But to answer your question here are some industrialized countries added to the chart: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-expectancy?time=1870..latest&country=OWID_WRL~CHN~RUS~USA~GBR

Edit2: Income inequality was drastically reduced after the communist parties came to power: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/14o601y/oc_how_well_the_richest_top_1_have_been_doing_the/
- Edit2: Income inequality was drastically reduced after the communist parties came to power:
  
  Are you talking about the 10-15 years after the revolutions? That chart shows that today China has income inequality similar to that of pre-1900 China, and higher income inequality than France, Sweden, and the UK. Even more interesting, the US only has 3% more income share going to the 1% than China does.
  
  Also "share of income going to the top 1%" doesn't really tell the whole story. I think individual purchasing power would be a much more informative statistic.
- But that first graph pretty much proves my point?

Capitalism has sabotaged and killed leaders of nations that tried to do better by their people to keep capital markets open for exploitation.

Our species grew/metastasized recklessly and without any consideration for equilibrium/homeostasis with the ONLY naturally hospitable habitat that our species will ever know.

How right you are, comrade Smith
- We like to believe the truth about us is inspirational and uplifting. We kind of need to. That doesn't make it true. Smith/the Wachowskis had our number in that monologue(and also in their Second Renaissance anime prequel about the war between humans and AI, humans do everything you'd expect, we weren't the good guys). We don't care about this world. We don't care about the other species on it. We don't even generally care about one another in anything more than empty feel good platitudes.
  
  We just tend to want moooaaaar for ourselves in practice

"The Great Leap forward never happened"/s

I have not said it didnt happen and it doesnt make those statements in the meme wrong.
- But it does make them irrelevant
  
  Above the world average after WW2 was easy to achieve for countries that had not been bombed to oblivion, and in the case of the USSR, that had basically conquered Eastern Europe
- Ur meme gives the impression that USSR and PRC communism is good for health. I'm raising a counterpoint while attempting to maintain the tone of the meme.

While the Soviet system had obvious problems, they're often exaggerated in favor of both painting communism as an ultimate evil, and obfuscate what communism (and capitalism) ultimately is, so they can continue to propagate the "right wing = small government; left wing = big government" lie.

When you systematically purge the crippled sick and war veterans or starve out anyone old and inform or sickly and weak that seems to happen who would have guessed.

they would be included in the death rate and russia had a high one before it went to above the world avarage cause of ww2.

Communism and Capitalism both suck. Mutualism is way better.

You might want to check out Robert Wolf. He's a big advocate for worker co-ops, which are a type of communism. Of the cooperative principles, #6 is cooperation between Co-ops. It doesn't get much more mutualist than that.
- Worker co-ops are a type of Socialism. Communism is specifically the movement towards a global Socialist Republic free of a State, Class, or Money.
  
  Worker Co-ops are great, but retain the state and money, and alone can allow the resurgence of class.

Edit: And Russia went to below the world avarage after the communist party gave up power in russia in 1991.

Is there a chart that shows various countries that industrialized by different means (communism vs capitalism vs democratic socialism etc)? That seems like a little more accurate comparison, as opposed to comparing it to the global average, and saying the difference is definitely communism as opposed to industrialization.

Also, Communist China is the only country that has a specific drop in life expectancy so dramatic that it shows up on the chart of global life expectancy and needs its own special label. I feel like stuff like that is pretty relevant too.
