Chernobyl

Is capitalism that much better than communism just because the latter collapsed first?

Each tries, but fails, to take into account the worst of human nature.

Capitalism almost collapsed in the thirties but just pulled through. Right now it’s sputtering along on three cylinders. You can hear the death wobbles from space.

The Soviets had one meltdown, the West has had two biggies. They argue though that because of superior design they weren’t as bad as Chernobyl. True that but if the West had a Chernobyl they’d have never pulled off the miracle save.

But that’s possible a cultural thing.
