I wonder if anyone has a number on how many people capitalism has killed.

Most of the people not alive today... sometimes the torture is spread out over 80 years or more. It's a horrible tragedy of needless human suffering.

Sure, the USSR did kill a lot of Nazis. But to claim all of the victims of communism were Nazis is bullshit

Exactly. Another great example from my country is Milada Horáková who was a member of a movement against nazis and later against communists and was murdered by communists.
