"Communism is to blame for their foodbanks and breadlines, but capitalism has nothing to do with ours (or vice versa)"
Just read 10 or more pages of detail from Stalin's 'Communist' Russia, or visit Eastern Europe today where you see that it is still 'defrosting' from that era ... and you can safely dismiss this kind of moral relativism rubbish.
The debate is long over: Capitalism with some degree of social intervention has won, hands down, over and over again. So many failed 'communist' states have embraced a degree of free markets, and have in almost every case improved the standard of living of most of their citizens.
Most Western nations have some negative attributes of all of these 'Dystopias' surely, but none of us live in 'Dystopias'. :)
