      Now that's funny. Anyone with a working frontal lobe should be able to conjure up memories of the Cold War, and perhaps recall how France, Britain, and the US dove in to assist the White Army post WWI; connecting the dots there, US foreign policy post WWII, god knows how many declassified docs about strangling out communism...

      But nah, capitalism never wanted to harm communism ever, capitalism pure. The fact that capitalist states ALWAYS wanted to waste communist ones was just a coincidence, or the fault of communist ones for commiting some sort of vague crime

            And that's extremely well known among anyone with even a passing academic interest in Cold War history. I remember it coming up in undergrad classes that you didn't even need any prerequisites to take.
