Wrong.

What actually happens is that whoever benefits from the current economic system always finds a moral and political philosophy to justify it. That held true for the Divine Right of Kings just as it did for Maoism.

I'm not saying some systems aren't better than others, I'm just saying it isn't some sweeping generalization based on abstract principles that makes it so. Even Lenin thought he was justified by history.
