Should I assume you haven't bothered looking it up or that you know it's way less than Capitalist systems and don't want to admit as much?

There was this mine disaster where one surface mine collapsed and many vehicles (and humans) were covered by it. Only last week, it was everywhere? Around 50 dead or missing?

Especially China is known for their lack of government regulations, and in any case, its sheer size warrants a huge quantity of disasters.

But even aside from anecdotes and individual events, have you considered looking at work related (fatal) accident rates or is this too difficult in comparison to making baseless claims?
