True we see it every day, I just think that in the long run and as far as the quality of living that capitalism has proven itself.The United states had its share of power abuses I admit but communist countries have these nasty little things called re-education camps or gulags however they are spelled.I do see you're point, it does seem bad choosing the lesser of two evils.Right after the communists took over Russia all the teachers and clergy the historians and anyone considered dangerous to the complete rule of communism were sent to these camps to clear they're minds of these faults,most never returned.China also has them and they also have very suspect orphanage practices.
