Stalin and Mao you can keep, thanks. Revolutions have never been beneficial to every single man and woman, that's correct, but just because that's been the case till now, it certainly doesn't mean that it is the only rule. Capitalism happens to be the most contradictory system ever known to man, and one that has a history of massive bloodbaths more than any other in history. The good thing about it is that it has also awakened a different type of person to fight it back, a man and a woman who understand that in order to win, they have to think of themselves as machines.
