How did the Cold War complement humanity's evaluation of governance-oriented customs?
====
Imagine that great (fictional) titans/superhumans who are rivals align themselves to debate about the contention and contours between capitalist USA (the modern world empire) and communist USSR (the only true rival in world history) about the value/place of commerce and peace. What would be said/argued?

CYCLONUS: Yet, Wall Street has been criticized for piracy/malfeasance.

CYCLONUS: There's some continuing room/space for governance dialogue!
AGUS: Capitalism will always create liberal opportunities.
CYCLONUS: Socialism will be remembered for its views on general hygiene.
{Cyclonus & Agus}

SUPERMAN: American capitalism will be honored for its commitment to innovation.
NUCLEAR MAN: Perhaps the symbolic Cold War will be a 'trophy' for political science.

NUCLEAR MAN: Hail to market-driven education...
{Superman & Nuclear Man}
TRUMP: Americans love history, Carter!
CARTER: The USA stands for intellectual freedom, Mr. President.
