This is bull, both sides and ANY system causes suffering and death. Russia killed as many if not more Jews than Hitler. China has killed, maimed millions and to this day force child labor.
Our country may have a bad history, but unlike the communists we have worked hard (and sometimes not in the best of ways.... Political Correctness, quotas, etc.) to make amends and try to better ourselves and pay retribution.
Communism never did.
Granted Neo-Conservativism is now destroyingwhat was at one time the best system in the world.... but it is a swing.... much like when unions had too much power.
We'll find the middle and swing past it and continue the cycle... until one side gets so powerful during the swing they refuse to let the swing correct itself. (That time may very well be now.... but there are signs the swing is headed back to the middle that neo-cons have reached their pinnacle).
