We don't know whether even more people would have been killed if he had /not/ written that book. So that causal connection is our /attribution/. Marx could not possibly anticipate all effects of his book. But saying he "killed" people sounds as if he had intended the effect of people dying. Someone gets killed in a car accident. That car was only there because another man before decided to use his usual route to work, which indi- rectly delayed the first car a bit, otherwise there would have been no accident. So did the other man "kill" the first man? Oh, I only now see this topic already is labeled, "It's about the Butterfly Effect".
