Systemic failings are so fucking far from extrajudicial or even judicial killings.
Are the victims any less dead? Are the politicians that knowingly created and uphold that system any less culpable for their murder just because they were less direct?
People being failed by a system is not a political killing
They are when the people making the rules are aware of the consequences of their actions and choose to cause the premature and preventable death of citizens anyway. Which is the vast majority of the deaths.
gulag style
Gulags were awful, yes, but only a few of them were worse than the worst present day US prisons.
You're letting red scare propaganda cloud your judgment.
