Its not capitalists doing that though, its politicians, and politicians in non capitalist countries tend to be more evil.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there aren't any non-capitalist countries currently waging war on others.
Capitalism is a continuum, not a binary, hence occasional discussion "China is communist!" "No, it is state-capitalism!"

Is Russia currently capitalist, or non-capitalist? Which is Myanmar?

Anyway, personally I think it's the wrong axis; while capitalism and democracy and free press are often correlated, I think that the latter two are the important ones for actually choosing the lesser evils, though capitalism does generate more options to choose between.
