The working title for the new article is "Mass killings under capitalist regimes" as per the discussion here: http://demo.firepad.io/#btTXx68osD   Important editorial note (please read): Make sure to discuss the relevance of capitalism to the mass killings. Provide sources for and against the argument. The article must be balanced! For example, during operation Condor mass killings were done in order to conduct political repressions threatening neo-liberal doctrines that serviced the capitalist ruling class.  The communism article is very careful about doing this, refer back to it as necessary. Much of the original article has been copied and re-worded where appropriate. This may violate WP:POINT.  Comrades, I'm starting to think that this should be ordered by type of mass killing rather than country. IE state repression, famine, preventable disease, negligence (bhopal, nestle milk). Explaining how each one is related to capitlism should be more trivial that way, and the article would be tidier and make more sense. I agree, that would allow to give a balanced discussion for each type of case instead of justifying every single one.

Mass killings occurred under some nominally democratic capitalist regimes during the nineteenth and twentieth century. Many of the killings were the result of colonial policies or imperialist aggression implemented by capitalist powers, such as the Bengal famine of 1943 or the Opium Wars. They've also taken place internally within capitalist regimes as tools of political repression or ethnic cleansing. Scholarship focuses on the causes of mass killings in single societies, though some claims of common causes for mass killings have been made. Some higher estimates of mass killings include not only mass murders or executions that took place during the elimination of political opponents, civil wars, terror campaigns, and imperialism, but also lives lost due to war, famine, disease, and exhaustion in labor camps. There are scholars who believe that government policies and mistakes in management contributed to these calamities, and, based on that conclusion combine all these deaths under the categories "mass killings", democide, politicide, "classicide", or loosely defined genocide. According to these scholars, the total death toll of the mass killings defined in this way amounts to many tens of millions; however, the validity of this approach is questioned by other scholars. As of 2011, academic consensus has not been achieved on causes of large scale killings by states, including by states governed by capitalists. In particular, the number of comparative studies suggesting causes is limited. The highest death tolls that have been documented in capitalist states occurred in the British Raj under colonial rule, in the Republic of Chile under Augusto Pinochet, and in Ireland under Robert Peel.

Terminology

Capitalist regimes - "Capitalist regimes" refers to those countries who declared themselves to be capitalist states under the liberal economic definition (in other words, "capitalist states") at some point in their history.

Scholars use several different terms to describe the intentional killing of large numbers of noncombatants.The following have been used to describe killing by capitalist governments:

• Genocide — under the Genocide Convention, the crime of genocide does not apply to the mass killing of political and social groups. Protection of political groups was eliminated from the UN resolution after a second vote, because many states, including Truman's USA, anticipated that clause to apply unneeded limitations to their right to suppress internal disturbances.
• Politicide — the term "politicide" is used to describe the killing of political or economic groups that would otherwise be covered by the Genocide Convention. Grant Barrett uses the term "politicide" to describe the destruction of the apartheid system in South Africa. Baruch Kimmerling uses the term in his book Politicide: Sharon’s War Against the Palestinians and in various articles.

• Democide — R. J. Rummel revived the term "democide", which includes genocide, politicide, and mass murder, an example he cites is the actions Leopold II of Belgium in Congo Free State.. Rummel has also has termed the mass killings carried about the the US military as "genocide and democide."

Frank Wayman and Atsushi Tago have shown the significance of terminology in that, depending on the use of democide (generalised state-sponsored killing) or politicide (eliminating groups who are politically opposed) as the criterion for inclusion in a data-set, statistical analyses seeking to establish a connection between mass killings can produce very different results, including the significance or otherwise of regime type.

• Crime against humanity — has been used by the United Nations General Assembly to describe systematic persecution such as occurred during the South African apartheid regime government.
• ""Imperialism"" — a type of advocacy of empire. Its name originated from the Latin word "imperium", meaning to rule over large territories. Imperialism is "a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means". Imperialism has greatly shaped the contemporary world. The term imperialism has been applied to Western (and Japanese) political and economic dominance especially in Asia and Africa in the 19th and 20th centuries.
• Mass killing — refers to mass murder by a state. The concept of state-sponsored mass murder covers a range of potential killings. It is defined as the intentional and indiscriminate murder of a large number of people by government agents. Examples of state-sponsored mass murder include: Deliberate massacres of captives or civilians during wartime by the state's military forces, the murder of 24 unarmed villagers by British troops in the Batang Kali massacre during the Malayan Emergency, the murder of Vietnamese civilians by American soldiers in the My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War, and in recent times, the hotly disputed, mass murder of civilian Sri Lankan Lee Tamils, by way of tactical shelling, by the Sri Lankan army during the Sri Lankan Civil War.

• Capitalist holocaust — Peter Cohen has referred to the mass killings collectively as "a massive machine of destruction that is literally waging war on humanity" in his book titled "The Capitalist Holocaust." The term "Capitalist Holocaust" has also been used by former British member of Parliament Geoge Galloway.
• Death Squad — an armed group that conducts extrajudicial killings or forced disappearances of persons for the purposes of political repression, genocide, or revolutionary terror. These killings are often conducted in ways meant to ensure the secrecy of the killers' identities. Death squads may have the support of domestic or foreign governments (see state terrorism). They may comprise a secret police force, paramilitary groups, government soldiers, policemen, or combinations thereof. They may also be organized as vigilantes.

Proposed causes

Imperalism benefits owners of private property (not to be confused with personal property) and merchants in the capitalist market by lowering the cost of wages in the third world. 

Permanent arms economy

Karl Marx theorized that the [tendency of the rate of profit to fall]] was a feature inherent in capitalism, but was only a tendency, and could have countervailing tendencies that delay it. One of these is "military wars or military spending causing capital assets to be inoperative or destroyed, or spurring war production." This means that capital can be destroyed or devalued by war, thereby opening the way for new markets to form. This implies that war becomes a source of profit, for companies selling weapons, etc. and for new markets that form after capital has been destroyed.

Ideology

 Murder has been undertaken by capitalists to defend their private property and the economical system itself. Capitalist created "markets" themselves harm people by refusing basic rights to those who have not enough purchasing power (e.g. eviction, starvation, lack of medical care) due to violence and corruption undertaken to defend private property, resulting in lack of economic opportunities, creating a vicious cycle.

Theories, such as those of R. J. Rummel, that propose ideology as a significant causative factor in mass killings have attracted scholarly dispute; this article does not discuss academic acceptance of such theories.

Klas-Göran Karlsson writes that "Ideologies are systems of ideas, which cannot commit crimes independently." However Karlsson also notes that "individuals, collectives and states" that identify themselves by specific ideologies have "committed crimes" in the name of those ideologies.

<according to... someone? lenin/marx/trotsky?> states that have defined themselves as liberal capitalist democracies have committed crimes in the name of capitalism or democracy.<citiation needed>

Crisis conditions

Eric D. Weitz says that the mass killing in communist states are a natural consequence of the failure of the rule of law, seen commonly during periods of social upheaval in the 20th century. For both communist and non-communist mass killings, "genocides occurred at moments of extreme social crisis, often generated by the very policies of the regimes." They are not inevitable but are political decisions.

This section will cover mass killings during the rule of General Augusto Pinochet.

Caravan of Death

From the moment Pinochet assumed power, he wanted to instill a sense of fear in the Chilean population. These fears manifested with his authorization of the “Caravan of Death", whose members travelled by helicopter throughout Chile between 30 September and 22 October 1973. Following the coup on September 11, Pinochet ordered this Chilean Army death squad to target the leaders of the communist PU party by any means necessary. Pinochet feared the PU and felt they would oppose his capitalist regime, and he lived in a constant state of paranoia of losing power or being excecuted. As his suspicions grow, he targeted anyone who was associated with left-wing politics. The Caravan of Death killed or ordered the killing of 97 victims. The establishment of the Caravan of Death served three main purposes: 1) silence dissent through murder, 2) weed out military officials who were not aligned with Pinochet’s regime and 3) establish fear within leadership ranks. The Caravan of Death resulted in the institutionalization of a state-sponsored system of terror.

Need to relate this to capitalism if possible.  This relates to capitalist because the victims are allegedly challenging the capitalist system. Or they were opposed to motive-driven projects.  Added references to the PU.  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_violations_in_Pinochet%27s_Chile 

Dissapearances

A common mechanism of torture and excecution employed was “disappearing” those who were deemed to be potentially subversive because they adhered to leftist politics. The tactic of “disappearing” the enemies of the Pinochet regime was systematically carried out during the first four years of military rule. The "disappeared" were held in secret, subjected to torture and were often never seen again. Following Pinochet's defeat in the 1988 plebiscite, the 1991 Rettig Commission, a multipartisan effort from the Aylwin administration to discover the truth about Pinochet's human rights violations, listed a number of torture and detention centers (such as Colonia Dignidad, the ship Esmeralda or Víctor Jara Stadium), and found that 2,279 people were killed or disappeared by the regime.

Colombia

In 1993, Amnesty International reported that clandestine military units began covertly operating as death squads in 1978.

According to the report, throughout the 1980s political killings rose to a peak of 3,500 in 1988, averaging some 1,500 victims per year since then, and "over 1,500 civilians are also believed to have "disappeared" since 1978." The AUC, formed in 1997, was the most prominent paramilitary group.

A report from the country's public prosecutors office at the end of 2009 reported the number of 28,000 disappeared by paramilitary and guerrilla groups. As of 2008 only 300 corpses were identified and 600 in 2009. According to the prosecutor's office it will take many more years before all the bodies recovered can be identified.

"What French Syndicalists say about the State as a capitalist institution is peculiarly true in America. In consequence of the scandals thus arising, the Federal Government appointed a Commission on Industrial Relations, whose Report, issued in 1915, reveals a state of affairs such as it would be difficult to imagine in Great Britain. The report states that ``the greatest disorders and most of the outbreaks of violence in connection with industrial `disputes arise from the violation of what are considered to be fundamental rights, and from the perversion or subversion of governmental institutions (p. 146). It mentions, among such perversions, the subservience of the judiciary to the mili- tary authorities,[33] the fact that during a labor dispute the life and liberty of every man within the State would seem to be at the mercy of the Governor (p. 72), and the use of State troops in policing strikes (p. 298). At Ludlow (Colorado) in 1914 (April 20) a battle of the militia and the miners took place, in which, as the result of the fire of the militia, a number of women and children were burned to death.[34]"

In December 1980, three American nuns and a lay worker were gang raped and murdered by a military unit later found to have been acting on specific orders. Death squads were instrumental in killing thousands of peasants and activists. Funding for the squads came primarily from right-wing Salvadoran businessmen and landowners. Because the death squads involved were found to have been soldiers of the Salvadoran military security forces, which were receiving U.S. arms, funding, training and advice during the Carter, Reagan and George H. W. Bush administrations, these events prompted some outrage in the U.S. Human rights activists criticized U.S. administrations for denying Salvadoran government links to the death squads. Veteran Human Rights Watch researcher Cynthia J. Arnson writes that "particularly during the years 1980–1983 when the killing was at its height (numbers of killings could reach as far as 35,000), assigning responsibility for the violence and human rights abuses was a product of the intense ideological polarization in the United States. The Reagan administration downplayed the scale of abuse as well as the involvement of state actors. Because of the level of denial, as well as the extent of U.S. involvement with the Salvadoran military and security forces, the U.S. role in El Salvador- what was known about death squads, when it was known, and what actions the United States did or did not take to curb their abuses- became an important part of El Salvador's death squad story.". Some death squads, such as Sombra Negra, are still operating in El Salvador.

Inclusion of famine as killing

The journalist and author Seumas Milne has questioned whether deaths from famine should be considered equivalent to state killings, since the demographic data used to estimate famine deaths may not be reliable. He argues that, if they are to be, then Britain would have to be considered responsible for as many as 30 million deaths in India from famine during the 19th century, and he laments that there has been "no such comprehensive indictment of the colonial record".

Daniel Goldhagen argues that in some cases, deaths from famine should not be distinguished from mass murder: "Whenever governments have not alleviated famine conditions, political leaders decided not to say no to mass death – in other words, they said yes." He claims that famine was either used or deliberately tolerated by the Soviets, the Germans, the communist Chinese, the British in Kenya, the Hausa against the Ibo in Nigeria, Khmer Rouge, communist North Koreans, Ethiopeans in Eritrea, Zimbabwe against regions of political opposition, and Political Islamists in southern Sudan and Darfur.

In 2006, more than 36 million died of hunger or diseases due to deficiencies in micronutrients". According to the World Health Organization, malnutrition is the biggest contributor to child mortality, present in half of all cases. Hunger kills 17,000 children daily.

Almost all of these deaths can be attributed to capitalist countries as the only two countries that aren't strictly capitalist are Cuba and North Korea. The former having erdicated hunger. A 2013 study reported that communicable diseases and malnutrition are responsible for 29% of the total deaths in North Korea. This figure is higher than those of high-income countries and South Korea, but half of the average 57% of all deaths in other low-income countries. Therefore the highest possible figure for hunger related deaths in DPRK is 60,000 according to the World Bank estimates.
