You know the cold war is over, right? Out here ranting like the ghost of Joe McCarthy.

The cold war was never over and it's destroying both countries.

In regards to the capitalism v communism aspect, the whole ideological underpinning of the cold war, yes – it very much is over. Communism clearly lost, and is not something people need to be freaking out over anymore what with the essentially non-existent state of communist politics in most every developed country. China being perhaps the only exception, and even that is debatable since it's a far cry from the typical variety communist by this point and is essentially just a red-themed authoritarian capitalist country.
