Did you know that despite only having 4.5% of the world’s population, the USSR held 25% of the world’s prison population? Oh wait, no. Those statistics are for the USA right now.
Who needs prisons when you have gulags, murder rooms and force famines :)
As much as a I despise the penal system of USA, USA has not killed 60 million of its own inhabitants.
You are comparing grapes to grapefruits.
The global capitalist system kills 9 million people every year from starvation alone. Millions more from preventable disease. Capitalism is responsible for orders of magnitude more deaths than every socialist country combined.
Which is of course because there are so much fewer socialist countries than capitalist countries.
