Show me the counterfactual proving those people would have survived under a non-capitalist system.

Are you going to apply the same standard to your original claim? How many of the alleged 200 million would have survived under a non-communist system?

Data's messy... I get it. The actual mechanics of tallying all of this don't matter quite as much as applying those rules consistently. It would be a bit unreasonable for you to ask for a counterfactual tally of deaths under capitalism if you're unable to provide one for deaths under communism.
