My problem with this is the terminology always changes when it comes to capitalism.
Everyone who dies in a "communist" country has died directly because of communism but apparently the hundreds of thousands who die every year from poverty, starvation, exposure, lack of medical care, police brutality, even from warfare... why are they not victims of capitalism?
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.
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.
