Perhaps that old adage of "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" rings true here as well?!
Those striving for capitalism tend not to murder off their human capital in great big bleeding numbers. You may need to study further to make the distinction between someone who truly understands and values the support of the populace they're ostensibly championing, as well as those who may simply be neutral on a position, versus simply eliminating them when they're having a bad day. An extended cruise through this forum will provide plenty of solid references to further that study, and lead to other trails as well. I'm talking of things done by those for whom it isn't just cliched theory, or some worn out quote from a pundit.
