Atheists becoming less unpopular?

The Nazis like Stalin had their one party states investing in the same global market the west invested in. The case is still the same with friend and foe alike, both open west and closed states like North Korea and Theocracies like Saudi Arabia have global business investments. If your dictator family, such as the Saudi Royals, or Kim Jong Un family had no investments they would have no way to pay armies to protect them. 

"Capitalism" IS NOT a form of government. China allows western label business and international business because it brings in money to the economy as well as supporting China's communist party. Fidel Castro at his death was estimated to be worth $800,000,000 net personal wealth. Gadaffi was a billionaire who owned stock in GE.

There are only more open states like in the west that when the laws are made right, block rising monopolies and bust corruption. But outside that there are simply more open societies and more closed societies. But the world's leaders and their parties that support them both friend and foe are part of a global market.

Oh I agree completely

Which is also why a Trump presidency makes me very nervous long term. Not just his impulsive tweets that could get us into WW3, that scares me the most. But outside that you look at his business history and how many people he ripped off and used high priced lawyers to drag court cases out to make the complainant quit or settle. No he cant become a ruling family, but you see how close his kids are and no, I don't believe for one second he will keep his nose out of it. He is using his own private club, which isn't a private house, but a BUSINESS, in FLA. I fear the tone the economic right is setting for more and more politicians long term. That lack of separation sets up long term dept and cronism. The very things that lead to economic collapse and civil war and revolutions. 

You don't allow any class or sect of religion or political party a monopoly. Our separations of powers in the west are designed to prevent monopolies of power. I don't see right now in this point in history the GOP really giving one shit about stopping monopolies.
