Let's look at some of the nitty gritty reasons why capitalism outpreforms communism and not just by a little bit but by extreme degrees. Let's look at the first hand accounts by Vladimir Bukovsky of what life was actually like working in a Soviet factory or a Soviet farm shortly after the time of Stalin.

Vladimir Konstantinovich Bukovsky (boo-KOV-ski; Russian: Влади́мир Константи́нович Буко́вский; 30 December 1942–27 October 2019) was a Russian-born British human rights activist and writer. From the late 1950s to the mid-1970s, he was a prominent figure in the Soviet dissident movement, well known at home and abroad. He spent a total of twelve years in the psychiatric prison-hospitals, labour camps, and prisons of the Soviet Union.[2]

After being expelled from the Soviet Union in late 1976, Bukovsky remained in vocal opposition to the Soviet system and the shortcomings of its successor regimes in Russia. An activist, a writer,[3] and a neurophysiologist,[4][5] he is celebrated for his part in the campaign to expose and halt the political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union.[6]

A member of the international advisory council of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation,[7] a director of the Gratitude Fund (set up in 1998 to commemorate and support former dissidents),[c 1] and a member of the International Council of the New York City-based Human Rights Foundation, Bukovsky was a Senior Fellow of the Cato Institute in Washington, D.C.[8]

In 2001, Vladimir Bukovsky received the Truman-Reagan Medal of Freedom, awarded annually since 1993 by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.
