But have you thought about just how much violence and destruction 
"fascism and capitalism" have been guilty of?  We're not just talking 
about a 10-15 year rampage in Europe during the 20th century.  What 
about the Spanish adventures in South America a few hundred years ago? 
The British Empire in Africa?  The East India Company?  US interfering 
in South and Central America?

Too true.  And we're all too quick at calling the opposite point of view 
'idiotic'.  After all, other people's idiocy gives us the right to 
determine their fate, right?
