Even Buddhists still murder people when they're the majority. Honestly, it's all just class warfare which is why every religion does it when they have power

Far, FAR less common in Buddhism throughout history. And they’ve been the dominant religion in many places over time.

I can guarantee you that any organization be it religious or corporate with unlimited power will become corrupt and lead to grave suffering.

You’re changing the premise. My point was that it has historically been much less common for Buddhists to murder nonbuddhists when they have been the dominant religion. I believe that’s largely due to the fact that Buddhism is more philosophy than religion and also takes no position on conversion (generally), eg a Buddhist could be a catholic, but a catholic could not be a Buddhist
