The main character is not ruthless. He's a scum who kills and tortures innocent people. He stirred up the country, and then ordered the execution of half the population JUST LIKE that! Too proud, too stupid. Underline, STUPID! He does not think through the steps in advance, for which he gets in the balls. And then the degenerate gets angry and destroys the street of homeless people. Also, the author did not really understand the capitalist system and says that his" great " country, the United States, is at the peak of its power. Fucking it is not at the peak of power, capitalism leads to the degradation of the population and self-destruction of the country ©Karl Marx. One of the" comrades " of the main character said that the USA was built on bones, blood and innocent deaths, said that there is no OTHER WAY! * 10 seconds later* I need world peace!!! But in the USSR, people did not cut each other's throats and lived more than perfectly. ###Yes, I know that under the USSR there was socialism. I know it's banned in the United States, but who's stopping you FROM just READING?### Pretends to be cool, constantly bragging, but in fact is only an empty place.

LIKEDidn't read the novel, but I would like to say that both socialism and capitalism are failures of system. Check out the documentary commanding heights, it is pretty good at showing the difference between keynes and hayek philosophy. For reference, my background in economic theory is a 12th grade ap economics course and a 12th grade international business course.
I am not defending the novel however dude if Karl Marx is your source then your whole argument might as well be communist biased opinions(PROPAGANDA) against capitalism. Just as using Mein Kampf to argue my points would be propaganda as well. Also, the USA is definitely the world's superpower, unlike Ussr which dissolution in 1991. (By the way, I am not American) Russia is not even in the top 10 economies in the world.(lol)
