What would you like to know? Capitalism is just as vile and destructive as any other significant socioeconomic system that we've come up with, it most certainly has its fair share of crimes against humanity

I would argue it does. One extreme wants to say; "Tienanmen Square was a horrible tragedy and China/ Communism is the evilest thing in the world", likely not true, but also, neither China nor Communism have clean hands. The other extreme wants to say; "Nothing interesting happened with Tienanmen Square and the West/ Capitalism is the evilest thing in the world", equally unlikely to be true, but also, neither the West or Communism have clean hands. In this case, Occam's Razor implies that neither of these extremes is reasonable and that the true story is actually some composite of both. I'm not using Occam's Razor as a form of neutrality, merely as a mechanism for determining when a reasonable conclusion can be made.

Apparently a horrible crime that this link isn't the first I saw, genuine thanks for posting it though.

The easy answer is the Wikipedia article that anyone can simply look up. The real answer I'm looking for is one that comes from alternate perspectives and includes information not-so-easily found in traditional settings, which some of you lovely people have been kind (and open minded) enough to provide.
