In a sense you are right, the bad guys won but not for the reasons you think. There are no "good guys" in the land of nations, only in the land of individual people. Stalin was not a good guy and the USSR was not a good nation. FDR was a good guy in an imperfect nation. The Webb Telescope is a good telescope showing good pictures of the Universe (objectivity). A nurse at a hospital might be great in a terrible healthcare system. Ghengis Kahn was not a good guy. Capitalism and Communism are only as good as those practicing it. Good guys don't always lose and Bad guys don't always win but overall Bad guys rule the world because humanity is a mess and bad guys are the most brutal. Take your argument up with Darwin and quit romanticizing some subjective magical good government that is a long way from existing ANYWHERE, especially Sri Lanka.
