100 million includes nazis who died on the eastern front and reductions in birthrates (ie people who never existed in the first place). the book that number came from was denounced by all but one of the authors. using the same methodology used in the book, you find that capitalism kills 20 million a year

that estimate was thoroughly debunked… it counts wehrmacht battle casualties, children never conceived because people started to prefer smaller families once Russia and China abolished feudalism. It’s a fabrication. The lead author was a neo nazi who was obsessed with hitting the 100 million number by any means necessary. Oh by the way, if you literally just count starvation, capitalism can reasonably be blamed for upwards of 2 billion deaths since its invention.

Even standardizing the inputs, looking only at deaths directly caused by policy, and adjusted for the total number of people under their rule: communism killed 4% of the population, fascism killed 4.4%, and capitalism killed 1%. Fascism is slightly higher in this metric, but still close to communism. Both are bad, hence the original point. Admittedly, 1% is not ideal but it’s better than any other system. Death is inevitable in governance.
