Irrelevant. It has still killed more people in a shorter amount of time. More people have died living under capitalism in the last 15 years of its existence alone, than every "communist" regime combined - which as stated before, are also attributed to capitalism anyways.
Quote:it would more than make up the difference.
No, it wouldn't. It wouldn't even come close.
It isn't just about people dying under capitalism anyways - far from it. It is also the daily exploitation, oppression, and misery from just living and working under it that takes its toll on people, generation after generation, in various ways. Whether they are overworked (sometimes even to death), poor and/or experiencing the miseries of living in dangerous and impoverished conditions, homelessness, and often suffering mental neurotic conditions such as chronic stress and anxiety (which can often lead to more severe health conditions like heart disease or cancer) - the number of people that suffer from these things is incalcuable. Lack of access to healthcare, and an untold amount who are not impoverished but are one tragedy away from being homeless or financially ruined. List is endless.
