Capitalism worked under Eastern aggression, Communist economic sanctions, Communist covert actions, and a propaganda apparatus far more widespread than anything from the West.

It worked better than Communism because it works better than Communism. LMFAO

Capitalism worked under Eastern aggression

Right, the countries that invaded the USSR in its nascent years, constantly tried to assassinate leaders of progressive movements, couped most countries on Earth.

Communist economic sanctions, Communist covert actions

The projection lol

and a propaganda apparatus far more widespread than anything from the West.

As that joke goes, a CIA and KGB officer meet at a bar. The CIA officer says to the KGB officer "You've got a good propaganda machine!", the KGB officer replies "Well, yours is unbeatable."

The CIA agent responds with "What propaganda? In the West we don't have propaganda."

Keep crying, tankie

Your shitty dictatorships failed because they were orders of magnitude more corrupt and dysfunctional than capitalism, and even more oppressive towards the general public.

Any society is authoritarian, it depends who wields it.

That you have been brainwashed to only see communist country as authoritarian while the police in your democracy kills black people every day on the street.
