I'm not forgetting. I'm not even saying that the PRC is within a light year of good. I'm saying that if the comparison is to pure capitalism then it's got even odds of being less brutal because _both_ are spectacularly brutal. That they manage to help people at times is entirely coincidental.
The PRC has black prison sites for political dissidents and the famine from the great leap forward. Capitalism has child slaves working cocoa farms or pharmaceutical companies giving aids tainted medicine to third world countries because it would net them a profit.
