Neo liberals are just as bad as hardcore pro-Soviet hardliners, if not worse.
All neoliberals did was make capitalism suck even more than it already did. At least the Soviet Union was an upgrade from the feudal backwardness that came before it in history.
The only reason people don't write op eds about deaths from capitalism or build memorials to its victims is because the West is more effective at enacting mass violence and using the illusion of democracy to conceal the totalitarian abuses they inflict (primarily on the African, Asian, and South American continents)

Stalin could not beat the brutality of Washington, or Jefferson, or Churchill, or Reagan. He simply couldn't. His brand of despotism was too blatant and too ineffective in its deceptiveness to continue beyond a couple generations.
