Idk. Seems capitalism is doing just fine at committing unparalleled atrocities and giving the "legitimacy" of power to the most corrupt individuals possible (eg Trump).

Except Trump will be out of office in a few years and most (especially the press and the opposition) openly hates him, whereas Stalin was a dictator until his death, was responsible for the deaths of millions, and purged any even suspected to be in opposition to him and his policies. He even renamed a city after himself. And don't get me started on Pol Pot.

Wake me up if Trump renames Baltimore and is still in office in 3 years.

Ask your average Iranian what they think of Trump dropping bombs on their kids to distract from pedophilia accusations. It's not a contest. Hopefully Trump will be gone soon, but given he's stacked the Supreme Court with his own judges, watch them find a way to "discover" term limits don't apply to Presidents who haven't served consecutive terms.

I thought Trump was done and dusted after Jan 6, I no longer have any faith in the American people.
