If it were true, sure. The historical consensus is absolutely not that, though. Things like "The Black Book of Communism" have long been discredited. If you look past the ubiquitous capitalist propaganda and instead look at primary sources, you'll see a very different story.

Even if it were somehow true, capitalism directly leads to the deaths of millions every year. It has historically caused most wars, including both world wars. Why would anyone defend it?
