No, its "only" somewhere between 8-12 million per year, almost every source on Google has the numbers in this range - but regardless of the numbers, that does not vindicate the system of its crimes against humanity. Even if we assume the number to be on the low end of this estimate, that still comes to an astonishing 40 million every 5 years. Not only that, those numbers also don't include people who die from other causes of poverty, such as disease or lack of access to medical care, or those who die for other reasons outside of starvation or poverty altogether - such as war or being murdered by capitalist police. As I stated before, getting an exact number of the deaths over the course of capitalisms history is difficult because it kills in so many different ways, and because it spans 300+ odd years, but its probably safe to say the number, in the entire totality of its history, is almost certainly in the billions.
Further, murdering people is far from being the only crime against humanity that capitalism commits every day. It is also guilty of extortion, robbery & larceny, exploitation (especially of women, those with disabilities, homosexuals, and POC), racketeering, false imprisonment of the working class, colonialism and imperialism, ethnic cleansing, segregation and gentrification. The list goes on...ill stop here cause I'll be here all night if I listed all the charges. Basically, just about every conceivable crime under the sun.
That is not propaganda (though it certainly is scary). That is the harsh REALITY of your lovely capitalistic system, that you have no choice but to face.
