This is one of the wildest and scariest consequences of capitalism. The sheer volume of mass death under capitalism means nothing because life doesn’t matter to capitalism defenders. One just makes up 100’s of millions of deaths, declares an equivalence, and continues on down the line.
Humans act in a way that makes sense for them to act given the systemic pressures they’re exposed to. This is exact same process as natural selection that drives evolution. The system selects for certain types of behaviors that are successful within the system. Bad things will happen in any human society, but the general direction of society is what matters.
Change happens because people make it happen not because they wait for the society to become magically enlightened.
Go read up on socialist countries like China, Vietnam, and Cuba. This isn’t a hypothetical discussion, socialist countries exist and they work a lot better than capitalist ones.
