> I don't see what's wrong here

Best estimates are 100 million dead, and you don't see what's wrong?!? What's wrong with you?

"Capitalism did the same"? That may make capitalism worse, but it doesn't make communism better. They still killed an insane number of people.

And, "the 100 million indigenous souls in the Americas"? You blame their deaths on capitalism? Imperialism, maybe. I could buy that. But capitalism? To a large degree (not totally), no, that is not capitalism's fault.
