It is evil to make this comment, whether in earnest or as a joke, for many of the same reasons as if you had said “this is why we still need nazism.”
Communism is an ideology responsible for the death of over one hundred million people in the 20th century.

Ok, thought experiment, what is the death-toll of Capitalism in the last century?

I'd say it's in negative billions from all the innovation and economic growth.

I don't see how you'd equate communism and nazism. But whether they are the same or not how did you come with 100 million deaths for which the communism is responsible?
It sounds plain ridiculous.

Zero.
Capitalism is the system of protecting the rights of the individual to engage in the free exchange of goods and services.
The extent of human flourishing is the extent to which human societies adopt capitalism. Even when it is adopted in small degrees, the result is a dramatic uplifting of billions of people out of poverty.
Capitalism is good and we would all be better off if we had more of it.
All of the mass death and destruction of the world is caused by collectivism, from the killing fields of Cambodia to the mixed economy of the United States. Collectivism is the ideology that’s holds that your moral sanction for living comes from the group; only the leaders of that group, whether through a connection to god or the tribe, have access to the true nature of the world, and so are justified in any brutality they see fit.

65 million in China. Another 30 million in the Soviet Union. A number of other areas with a couple million each.
