You seem to imply that "a little bit of negotiating leverage" is of trivial consequence rather than a question of how many people were at the mercy of a corrupt and perversely-incentivized bureaucrat or an abusive factory owner.
We didn't fight the cold war over which side you butter your bread on.

I can't tell if you're complaining about the USSR or the USA...
Joking aside, I know the reasons the west fought the cold war, and I don't think they were justified.
