My point is that there is nothing intrinsically good or evil of capitalism or communism - it just depends on how it is used.
Take India for example: It's the world's largest democracy and free market nation, yet millions are living in poverty. Millions of women are murdered every year because their families cannot afford to look after them, and they have no hope in marrying. Millions more are sold into indentured labour because of industries directly related to India's capitalist practices. Are we to say that capitalism is "evil"?
Mexico is another good example - and no, I am not talking about Cancun or Puerto Vallarta. Chiapis is extremely impoverished, and the people there are desperate for wealth distribution of some kind. Go there and as a Marxist rebel which is evil. You would likely get a different answer than what you are accustomed to.
