That's a valid question. Might also ask how we quantify what is and isn't a capitalist nation. I mean, the only non-capitalist nation in recent history has been the USSR and Joe Stalin made damn sure they qualify as violent and oppressive.
Aftar that, we have third world nations who are too poor to be players on the global market scale. I'd be more than willing to bet the people there are killing each other an aweful lot when they get the chance, but they just don't have the power to make a big name of themselves with it. And even then, you depending on how you qualify "capitalist," those places would qualify as capitalist, anyway.
