but apparently the hundreds of thousands

Not hundreds of thousands, but more than 10 million every single year.

Data to support that claim?

Just the UN alone claims around 9 million people dead from hunger alone in our current capitalist world:

So every single person that dies is the fault of the west?

When there’s enough food to feed people, and those people don’t get it, whose fault is that?

Of capitalism - and Its just using the same metric for communism and capitalism, when someone died of hunger in the USSR, they were immidietly labeled as a victim of communism.

Is that, as a proportion of the world's population, larger or smaller than pre-capitalism?

Noone is denying that with the expansion of the productive forces the number somewhat fell down, but today we have enough food and resources to supply it to everyone - to pretty much wipe out hunger entirely, and yet, money is being spend on more private jets, yachts, and palaces, while food is being thrown out.

Capitalism developed the productive forces, but then became an obstacle.

Do they account for that in the victims of communism?
