How many people have died because of capitalism? Order of magnitude more. Just think of US backed coups. Death squads. People who die of starvation, lack of water. Poverty is a HUGE killer.
In fact, lets forget all corporations and all countries and just focus on the USA (so we won't count how many marketing for cigarettes has killed, for example).
African slave trade 150mil+
Native american genocide? 100mil+
Korean War 10+
Vietnam War 10+ (plus cambodia and laos)
should I keep going?
US intervention in Latin America 5+
US in the Congo 5+
But thats so long ago, Mr Tickle!
Iraq war on terrorism 1+
Afghanistan war on terrorism 1+
US sanctions on iraq 1+
joining NATO in Libya 100k+
Selling poison gas to Saddam 400k+
What about the very foundation of USA?
US Revolutionary War 30k+
US Civil war 700k+
Outside middle east?
Bombing Yugoslavia 300k+
Guatemala 300k+
War against Phillipines 2mil+
Spanish American War 100k+
Funding General Suharto 1mil+ (god knows how many this actually is)
I'm sure there's more but I can't be arsed. You get the point.
