Let's say, hypothetically, if communist countries really did kill 100 million people and they were all because of communism itself.
That would be 100 million people in countries with over 1 billion people over about 100 years from 1920-2020.
That works out to an increased annual death rate from communism to 1 death for every 1000 people every year.
20-25 people per 1000 people who were alive on Jan 1, 1950 in the Third World died by Dec 31, 1950 whereas only about 10 did in the rest. That increase by 1 deaths per 1000 was only around 2% of an increase to their death rate from all causes.
Indias death rate increased from less than 28 deaths per 1000 from 1500-1700 to over 35 by 1860 and over 45 by 1900 because of intentional British colonial policy that funded half the entire general spending of the British Empire and financed the industrial revolution.
This makes the increased annual death rate from capitalism 18 deaths per 1000, 1700% that of communism.

Capitalism put most of the world in extreme poverty. Only anti-colonialism and socialism (ML-ism) have made considerable progress against it.
