Capitalism HAD to show a more humanistic face when it was confronted by an alternative system or it would lose the propaganda war. And even though that propaganda war was against a system that merely "talked the talk", that was enough to get a few more crumbs.

That's why even reformists should support and strong anti-capitalist movement if they truly want reforms. Without the anti-capitalists, there no sense of fear for the entire capitalist system and ergo, no reform.

BTW, ALL of those factors stated in the article were factors in the "historical anomaly" of '17 thru '75. They all played a part.
