Why are the extremes treated as the only options when, in fact, they haven’t existed anywhere in at least the last 60 years. The “Free World” has had a sliding scale somewhere between capitalism and communism, and the communist world was totalitarian with nothing resembling communist philosophy except the rhetoric.
The closest you find to those extremes is the Mob for capitalism and Israeli Kibbutzim for communism (which in that limited extent seems to work quite well).

If you use both hands, is it “stereo-typing?”
