      I didn’t know reality was western propaganda, those pesky Americans!

        The truth is somewhere inbetween… not “reality” like you claim it is.

          I’m not sure what in-between there is for “a lot of communist and socialist countries are just as if not more authoritarian than their capitalist counterparts”

          The point being made is that the criticism being made doesn’t apply to capitalism in any way that it wouldn’t also apply to other economic systems.

        The fact is that you were so brainwashed by the Red Scare that you don’t realize that the reality you were told is all lies.
