It depends what the point being made here is, since only the last is unique to capitalism (and that only due to its specificity). And the worst famine in history occurred under the CCP.
If the point is “‘capitalism is harmless’ is bullshit” I’m onboard; if it’s “capitalism is the cause of these things”, I’m not.
I want to agree with the last bit but if it’s coming from thinking that the CCP is communist because it’s in the name then I wonder what your opinion on the DPRK is.

Whatever horrific thing the CCP in the late 1950s and early 1960s was, I think everyone agrees it wasn’t capitalism, is the point.
Whatever it was, it was certainly not an investor-driven market-economy controlled primarily by owners of private property.
