How many died under feudalism? How many did Pol Pot kill?

Every system is going to have issues. So far, every other system has resulted in much more death and misery than capitalism.

    Your math doesn't add up. Capitalism kills 18 million a year. Even with the bad math of The Black Book Of Communism (so bad even one of its own authors says it's bullshit), that means capitalism beat communism in deaths in under 6 years.

    Capitalism doesn't "kill 18 million per year".
