Capitalism was alive and well in thru United States until the 1930s. Since then it’s been whittled down to a shadow; however, by comparison the rule of law and opportunity in the USA is orders of magnitude better than Russia.

[Cossak]

Capitalism caused disaster in the USA in 1929. Without invasion of strong enemy, without droughts or earthquake or any other natural catastrophe. It was not first time as I remember but previous occurrences were less destructive.
USA never were under pressure of external and internal challenges so strong as Russia, they had opportunity for developing and maturing the rule of law. USA has dozen organizations that can arrest civilians but still in big towns areas populated by blacks and Latinos are not safe for whites as I heard. And police is quite dangerous for ordinary people. In Russia they do not kill or taze people on the streets, they do not arrest for debts. They do not take off your kids if you slap them buttocks for misbehavior. They do not assign absurd prison term 100+ years. Rule of law sometime produces side effects.
