To be honest, every system leaves someone behind. Communism takes away money from the rich. Capitalism takes money away from the poor. There's always someone left behind. But all these systems always lead to national and global prosperity when done right. The problem is, no one has done it right. The Soviets were unable to create a Global Commune, so they were stuck halfway between Communism and Socialism. The US bred freedom across the western world, which is now divided more than ever. None of these political systems works without two things. Global co-operation (i.e. everyone in the same ideology) and time. The USSR was the closest. They had time, but not co-operation. The US right now doesn't look like it has much time, and it's botched global co-operation. So now, we just wait until someone gives us both of those things. Then we'll be looking at peaceful lives for all of us.

That is until robots take our jobs and everything starts over again.
