From the comments there:"Still I am a Marxist..."
... says the Dalai Lama, conceding that capitalism has done China some good: "Millions of people's living standards improved." Marxism remains dear to him because it has "moral ethics, whereas capitalism is only how to make profits."Only. Only improving the lives of millions.
So which is better? A plan with the best intentions in the world that leads to madness and millions of deaths?
Or a plan that is neutral on intentions which leads to freedom and prosperity the likes of which the world has never known?
Apparently a lot of people would choose being seen as doing good but doing evil vs being seen as doing evil but doing good. Even the Dalai Lama.
