And doing that, the most conservative death toll, from WHO, is around 9 million excess deaths, A YEAR.
multiply that by, again lets be conservative and lets say just the last 30 years. So from the middle of the nineties to now, thats 270 million excess deaths just from imposed famine like conditions. So no even counting other deaths following the exploitation of workers and ressources in third world countries
if we just do the math, it seems capitalism is many orders of magnitude more deadly than even psychos like Stalin.

Sure, if that’s the comparison you’re making. But “capitalism” Vs Mao is not a comparison that makes sense.
You could maybe count Churchill’s famine in India or his jolly little wars in Africa if you want to be argumentative. Or just accept that Mao caused millions of deaths through pig-headed incompetence and move on.

Im just being logically consistent here m8. Mao killed tens of millions. Capitalism kills hundreds of millions, and continues to do so.
If were gonna play the killscore game, might as well get the full scoreboard

Tsk. Mao is not the same sort of concept as capitalism. Has he killed more or fewer people than mosquitoes or bananas? What about too short green traffic lights? Moonless nights? All questions that make the same amount of sense. Mate.

The death tolls im stating are coming from WHO, world health organization, and are directly the resultat of capitalist exploitation in the area.
If the famines leading to the death of millions, are the fault of communism through the negligence of Mao as you stated earlier, then why tf is similar famines, created by the negligence of capitalist power holders, not the fault of capitalism?
or do you want me to find out the names of the CEOs so we can put blame entirely on the individual? That would then mean that the deaths in china was only the fault of Mao as well, and has nothing to do with the communism.
either the economic system is partly at fault or it isnt. Pick a lane pal.
