    When was the last time a western government official received life in prison for their insider trading?

    You should be praising this. You should be saying "yeah we need some of that too please". It might actually form some pressure that results in the western ruling class feeling they need to at least pretend it's a good society or else people might get some ideas about overthrowing them. Half the social-democratic policies that Europe has came about because of the European bourgeoisie fearing revolutions in their own countries and aiming to compete with the policies of the soviet union to prevent revolutionary energy from occurring. Roosevelt's New Deal was also performed for the same reason, in fact he explicitly said so.

    You should welcome political pressure from socialist countries, it can result in concessions in the capitalist countries if the ruling class get scared enough.
