I remember someone on the old sub made an effort post collating the death tolls of capitalism using the extact same metrics and methods of victims of communism and the number came out to around 3 billion over 150 years
Yeah, there's a few of those. I'm sure people that trot out the 100 million number find it unconvincing though, even if they don't know where it comes from
I think Boots Riley did something similar on twitter recently but on a smaller scale. He compared the great depression to the famines in... China? or maybe it was in the USSR? Funny how no one thinks of the great depression as a consequence of capitalism.
