The us and British imperialist nations didn't cause an estimated 70,000,000 deaths in a mere 6 year time frame, fascism did.

And fascism is just a specific form of capitalist imperialism that burned out by the 1940s and regressed to the far more stable form of government for (neo)colonialism - bourgeois parliamentarism.

Mind specifying?

ww1 had more deaths than ww2, and it was inter-capitalist rivalry fighting over who would get control over the colonies. Took place before fascism as a term was even coined.

British imperialism killed millions in India, africa, asia. US imperialists genocided an entire continent, and the nazis explicitly took it as their model: trying and failing to acheive in eastern europe, what the US's capitalist democracy already carried out in North america.

You should really do an online search before you post, WW1 had a death count of roughly 20,000,000 vs WW2's 70,000,000
