There has never, ever, ever, ever been a genocide that has resulted from capitalism. Capitalism has never failed and prevents violence, but never causes it. Some stupidly would point to the great depression and accuse capitalism of failing, but it was the exact opposite. It was government intervention on free markets and the money supply that led to the depression.
Pure, unregulated, unhampered, free-market capitalism means nobody is ever forced into any transaction, and nobody has their livelihood or goods stolen from them by government or others. It ensures that all parties involved in every transaction are trading peacefully.
The worst genocides (worse than Hitler's genocide of Jews) occurred in communist China and communist Russia.
Capitalism had nothing to do with the single death of a single person in all of recorded history.
For the record, communists and fascists are equally authoritarian.
