But, if you can explain that the success of the capitalist world and the failure of the socialist one, is due to an inherent strength of the former, doesn't that sort of suggest that the system with that strength is better than the one without it?
Capitalism isn't a success and it relies on repression to keep functioning

No static caricature presented. The post to which i responded suggested problems in developing socialism is the fault of those folks doing the building. Socialism as a whole is nrver at fault.
