That doesn’t really explain anything, given there are millions of deaths under capitalism too.

Big difference.

[heterodoxxed]

Not to the bodies in the graves there isn't.

[heavyset_go]

Tell that to the people who were enslaved and to the people who starved to death.

[throwaway3699]

Slavery is not a function of capitalism, though. Capitalism is being able to 1) firstly, own yourself and your body 2) thus sell your labour however you wish. It's the alternatives economic systems that prevent you from being free.

[heavyset_go]

And yet capitalists imposed slavery upon multiple places around the world, often for decades or centuries.

[throwaway3699]

Putting emotions aside for a second, slavery is very inefficient in a free market. It is not a coincidence free countries are all capitalist (and vice versa).

[heavyset_go]

So are famines, but that didn't stop the market from starving millions of people, either.

[banannaise]

That's because the United States invades free countries that aren't capitalist.
