I was responding to one of those Big Black Book of Communism it's All Stalin's Fault Because He Murdered Millions types - who craze me - about capitalism killing/harming more people, and gave them this:

And many millions more injured, starving, enslaved, or dead because of capitalism. Every single person enslaved, every modern genocide over resources, every war fought over oil, every worker dead because workplace safety measures impact the bottom line so they were ignored, every kid that goes hungry because parents aren't paid a decent wage, every dead or injured Amazon worker forced to keep up with a quota, every person dying in a drought while Nestle thieves water, every woman and child raped in the Congo because that's where the coltan in your phone comes from, every person in a sweatshop working themselves to death on a factory floor, every single undermined government in the Middle East and Global South, every acre of burned forest in the Amazon, and so much more, is all because of capitalism.
