Here's a list of US atrocities, just a few of those equals that tally.
Also there's this report from results on child poverty, which estimates about 10 million preventable child deaths per year, which means capitalism kills 100M every decade.
Also the PRC has lifted more than 800M people out of poverty in the last few decades, more than the entire population of latin america. If you remove the PRC from poverty indexes, than world poverty is actually increasing.
If you ignore China, world poverty is increasing or stagnant: https://www.jasonhickel.org/blog/2019/2/3/pinker-and-global-poverty
No probs.
ok this is probably gonna get censored because this is lemmy.ml after all, but less than 1 million people had been violently killed by the US worldwide since the end of the cold war, both directly and indirectly.
you can't really blame starving children in africa on american capitalism, because if they were to interfere, there'd be claims of it being interference in another country's internal affairs and "neocolonialism" or sth like that
China has done good, alright, i give you that. :)
The US war on Iraq alone killed ~1 million people.
Some random other examples:
thanks for such a list, i have long been looking for one :D
