Black book of capitalism

[BigLynx]

Один западный чувак посчитал число трупов, вызванных капитализмом, и в конце предложил не лезть к нему с рассказами о Сталине и Мао.
По некоторым цифирям можно, конечно, поспорить, но в целом впечатляет.
На богомерзком языке, но все (за исключением пары мест) понятно.

1 326 271 260 killed by capitalism at the very least. This does not count all of the deaths caused by preventable hunger and disease, climate change, and environmental degradation. This does not count any of the deaths due to preventable water shortage, drug addiction, unnecessarily hazardous workplaces, or any of the other myriad preventable problems befalling the global proletariat.

So liberals, conservatives and anti-communists in general, tell me again about Mao, whose famine was the very last to ever occur in China, while before him there had been many more, once every few years. Tell me again about Stalin, whose rapid industrialization grew Russia into a world superpower that prevented a Nazi conquest of Europe. Tell me again about Fidel, who raised Cuban literacy, health care and education quality and life expectancy higher than the United States itself.
