Part of capitalism is to have fair and efficient judicial system and Haiti certainly do not have that.
People like this OP will take every opportunity to smear and discredit capitalism. That's what this thread is about.

No, Capitalism is an economic system. It does not go hand in hand with Democracy. You can have Democratic Socialism and Authoritarian Capitalism.

Did you even pay attention in History class? The Soviet Union suffered higher casualties during the war than any other nation. Stalin was willing to do anything to defeat Hitler, including sending in his own soldiers without weapons.

I think YOU need to read a bit less unrevised history. Russia got what was coming to them from Germany. You can't know how little I care how many Russians bought it at Nazi hands. Stalin was Hitlers buddy at the start. With his own set of plans for world domination. Patton was right about the Russians. We should have dozed them under.

Just because I don't look at WW2 with a touchy feely attitude about the Russians does not mean I need a history lesson.

That's not the reason you need a history lesson. You need lessons to learn some facts!!!

Ah this very debatable most historians think Great Britain would have been defeated eventually if Germany had not attacked Russia. I think Dunkirk kind of proves that. As for the USA doubtful they would have entered if Russia had not been attacked by Germany.

Germany would have had the considerable resources of Western Europe at her disposal and would have been a formidable foe of the isolationist and unprepared Americans.
