I'm counting western capitalism Europe, USA, western aligned Asia pacific nations etc as I think that's a fair comparison to make in the context of communism given I only considered the USSR and not other "communist nations".

I'm aware of the nitpick I'm purposely presenting technically true facts in a manner most advantageous to my argument (same as any journalist does). I've done plenty of research I even went and read the communist manifesto so I could understand its true intentions (they got the societal diagnosis correct just the treatment is complete bullshit imo).

I think we have different definitions of “technically true,” but that’s probably true for a lot of terms. Have a good new year’s, if you celebrate.
