I am not down playing Stalin‘s and Mao‘s genocides. Nor do I advocate for „communism“.
Just pointing out how capitalism isn’t exactly free of horrors, but they are hard to measure. E.g. tuberculosis claiming 1.5 million lives each year, but not in the west, so there is very little done about it. Or HIV.
The thing is we are not comparing individual countries but ideologies here. And capitalism fails those deceased for economic reasons. It’s easy to overlook.
You can mix capitalism and collectivism, as most countries did. It’s not black and white.
