For every photograph of 'Communist' (though that term's a bit misleading in and of itself) poverty, you can find a photo of third-world poverty that we've been behind. A factory worker slaving away under Chinese oppression is no better off than a worker slaving away to make Nike shoes in Thailand or Malaysia. Both authoritarian communism and capitalism come down to the same thing - one group making money off anothers' sweat.
