People who believe capitalism is the best system will fight to the death for it. The death of other people. What other rationale was there in the Vietnam war, for instance? The US cited the domino theory: if Vietnam goes communist, it will cause all the countries in the global east and south to follow suit down the communist path. Communist countries everywhere - no matter what distance away - were a danger to the capitalist system. Indonesia was attacked in a different way in 1965 - the year of living dangerously - when the CIA lists of undesirables, people of a communitarian lifestyle, were murdered by co-opted Indonesians, and other CIA controlled thugs. Capitalism isn't its own good argument, or shining example. It takes muscle of one kind or another to enforce it.
