You sir are afflicted with extreme white guilt.
The fact you write off all the warcrimes commited by communist regimes run by the likes of Stalin and Castro as mere “propaganda” really says a lot.
Capitalism is a "bad" system because the laborer is paid less than the worth of what he produces so that the owners can earn money and grow their businesses. It has gotten better through the years because workers are now able to receive health benefits and have certain rights that the business owners cannot violate whenever they wish. One of the greatest criticisms of Karl Marx's views of capitalism was that he viewed it as a still-shot that would never change. In reality, capitalism is a dynamic system that has changed itself over time to remain dominant.
