    To be fair, how do westerners not treat capitalism and democracy with exactly the same weight? I think both sides would have good reason to argue that neither side has figured out the secret sauce as you say.

    Not a huge stretch to think both the US and Russia treat their citizens poorly, and neither is a model for the rest of the world.

      Because while both are shit, under capitalism I can at least say it’s shit without fear of incarceration or reeducation.
