Anyone who has ever been face to face with the Communists of the world for any length of time knows that it is an evil institution. The west has plenty of room for improvement but it is preferable to any type of totalitarianism.

Lol, "the West" is the most totalitarian part of the Planet. Biggest war-machine & war budget on the planet. There's nothing more "totalitarian" and "evil" than never-ending war. And the leaders of "the West" loooove war. Because war is super-profitable and therefore war is 'fantastic' for the Capitalist investor (and for stealing taxpayer money and funnelling it into the elite's private pockets).

And, lol, "room for improvement". The most decorated veteran in U.S. history, Smedley D. Butler (retired Marine Corps Major-General and two-time Medal of Honor recipient) called out the West's wars as a total racket. He called it out 100 years ago - and yet the war budget has gotten even bigger and the wars have gotten even worse. Anti-war journalists like Julian Assange are in jail - whereas Bush & Cheney & Obama are all out high-fiving each other. There's no "room for improvement" - the war-loving Establishment Patricians have y'all Plebs by the balls.
