    Capitalism worked under Eastern aggression, Communist economic sanctions, Communist covert actions, and a propaganda apparatus far more widespread than anything from the West.

    It worked better than Communism because it works better than Communism. LMFAO

      Capitalism worked under Eastern aggression

      Right, the countries that invaded the USSR in its nascent years, constantly tried to assassinate leaders of progressive movements, couped most countries on Earth.

      Communist economic sanctions, Communist covert actions

      The projection lol

      and a propaganda apparatus far more widespread than anything from the West.

      As that joke goes, a CIA and KGB officer meet at a bar. The CIA officer says to the KGB officer “You’ve got a good propaganda machine!”, the KGB officer replies “Well, yours is unbeatable.”

      The CIA agent responds with “What propaganda? In the West we don’t have propaganda.”

        Keep crying, tankie

        Your shitty dictatorships failed because they were orders of magnitude more corrupt and dysfunctional than capitalism, and even more oppressive towards the general public.

          Because the Tsar and the Chinese warlords and Battista and Imperial Japanese occupation where pillars of democracy before those countries’ revolutions. Also like 90% of Chinese citizens are happy with their government, vs a sad 20% of Americans.

            Odd how people in a country where it’s illegal to not be happy with the government report being happy with the government

              Westerners hate their government so much that they cannot see beyond their own parochial worldview to even entertain the idea that some people would feel generally supportive of their government.

              Those sneaky Orientals must be lying in order to trick is good, honest, non-perfidious enlightened westerners again.

                Easterners who hate their government disappear or learn to hide it. Westerners get to piss and moan.

                  Ah yes, that’s very true. You must be something a field anthropologist.

                  People in the East wouldn’t ever protest and get away with it.

                  Meanwhile, westerners who hate their government would never be brought up on charges for the crime of “posessing books, black clothes, fabric, and paint” and then get disappeared into solitary confinement for exercising their constitutional rights.

                  That’s a very valid contribution that you made to the discussion. Nice work.

              Any society is authoritarian, it depends who wields it.
