Right, the countries that invaded the USSR in its nascent years, constantly tried to assassinate leaders of progressive movements, couped most countries on Earth.
The projection lol
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.
Imagine
stillhaving this much faith in capitalism after all the horrifying shit that's been happeningIt's the worst economic system except for anything else we have tried.
Sorry but the U.S. had to massacre 1M Indonesians to prevent a socialist movement and arm Nazis in countries with popular socialist movements to terrorize the population, it’s just that capitalism naturally seems to work better. The best system is the one where millions of people are bombed for the white first world to stay on top, while in the first world the police murder minorities and companies exploit the poor.
