It is estimated that Capitalism is responsible for over 200 million deaths----and that's just looking at American activity alone.

Then there's India, where Capitalism is responsible for even more deaths in about half time. "Overcoming amnesia, suppose we now apply the methodology of the Black Book and its reviewers to the full story, not just the doctrinally acceptable half. We therefore conclude that in India the democratic capitalist "experiment" since 1947 has caused more deaths than in the entire history of the "colossal, wholly failed...experiment" of Communism everywhere since 1917: over 100 million deaths by 1979, tens of millions more since, in India alone."

Villify Communism all you want for that 100 million figure--my sig should make it clear how I feel about any death and 100 million is a Hell of a lot--but try not to let cognitive dissonance excuse the deaths resulting from Capitalism.
