I'm with you for all of it except the capitalism bit. I think it's just as naive to say that capitalism caused all that. As it is for ML communists to attribute all their developments and advances solely to Vladimir Lenin's ideology. These things were happening all over the world at the same time. And in wildly different economic structures. I think it's important to remind those that Lively worship capitalism. The Soviets kicked our ass in the space race all the way up until the very end. We managed to one of them at the end with the moon landing. But every step of the way they were ahead of us. And for all the harms Vladimir Lenin's ideology caused. It wasn't the complete and utter hellscape presented to us in the West.
