"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Can we count 1 billion deaths from capitalism? (lemmygrad.ml)

The black book of communism inaccurately counts 100 million deaths and is widely cited by every anti communist even though it is blatantly false. Could we make a version that cites 10 times the amount of deaths to use as a reply whenever someone cites it. Preferably without using logic as bad as they use. Just think it would be useful to use in arguments.

I think there are two separate youtube videos looking into the death toll of capitalism using the same methods the black book used and both were something like 1 billion deaths.

Balkan Odyssey made one that is about an hour long.

Hakim made another which is much shorter - around 25 minutes or so.

Those are the only ones I know but both are very good.
