263 million if you count the criminally-run VA backlog deaths as attributable to the US government.
And although we're currently not #1 in these rankings, our government is making it clear that they're working overtime to close the gap.

Because at some point you accepted moneyed propaganda as absolute fact and stopped viewing situations openly and with a critical eye.

Do you take this seriously as an argument against socialism?
I have a hard time sometimes knowing if you're a troll. Of course when mass killings happen, the people doing mass killing essentially have to have totalitarian control. Because people generally do not like mass killing.
If a corporation had that much control, it would become a government itself.
Your political "opinions" are often really stupid, uncritical tribalism against government. I admit fully that government is often very stupid but your constant ideology is not interesting, it's stupid.

That's just by their own; most death can be attributed to the state.
