I have been thinking on this a lot, and whenever arguments start about this people point to things like stalin's death count of 15 million.
So i started to go over some numbers due to capitalism and lack of regulation and realized tetraethyl lead killed more people than stalin and hitler combined, the tobacco industry spent decades covering up the effects of their products.. asbestos companies like james hardie did the same.
So what is the ACTUAL death toll for capitalism?

yes

t/c

Well, the tiny hat people have their hand in both.

Lose/lose.

Do communists not smoke?

Assigning everything bad under the sun to "Capitalism" while refusing to count anything more than recorded mass murders as "Communism" is obviously going to give you a terribly skewed view of things.

The fact that a massive, guarded, concrete wall was necessary in order to keep East Germans from fleeing their friends, jobs, families, and country is about the only comparison you need to make.

Corporations are a capitalist enterprise, the smoking industry had the power to lobby and lie and obfuscate due to capitalism.

Which is why Chinese smoking rates are still so high, and have been for decades. Fucking capitalism.

Correct, because china is a capitalist country.

Between the choice of corporatism and communism, I'll take neither thanks. Both serve an evil elite who would throw their grandma into a wood chipper for a nickel.

donate all your gains from capitalism to the more needy since it’s so bad.

after all for marxism and its derivative communism, it is “each according to his needs” and you dont need all that excess

Capitalist reforms began in 1978 with the rise of Deng Xiaoping. Smoking rates have since declined. Smoking rates in the USSR were sky high. There's just no good reason to believe that smoking is a capitalist construction, and quite a few as to why not.
