You point about about the plight of the poor in any country including the US should be taken seriously. You comparison with Stalinist USSR is completely insane. Go read The Gulag Archipelago. Please.

That's not a book of scholarship. Read an actual historical account of the gulag system. Trust me, its depressing enough without literary embellishment.

And then compare it to the atrocities that established western capitalism. Fairly, I recommend.
