|Employees are all exploited by their employers, who steal most of the value created which they had little to no hand in.

Didn't that turn out to be bullshit? Like, years ago. Pretty sure that guy made the story up. Also, those people weren't employees of Apple.

And I'll take crony capitalism and wealth inequality over gulags and the tens of millions of people who have been killed by their communist overlords (who were also hoarding all the wealth).

I'm sorry, this is bog-standard capitalist clap-trap. Capitalism has killed many more, and will continue to kill millions and millions as the effects of climate change worsen, than the concept of equitable distribution of wealth.

|Capitalism has killed many more

Please support that claim.

|will continue to kill millions and millions as the effects of climate change worsen

Communist countries, past and present, hardly have a sterling reputation when it comes to environmental considerations.

Edit: Oh, and you ignored that the Foxconn thing was manufactured. Unless that's what you're calling clap-trap, but I assume not.
