People will believe some preposterous things to keep their beliefs intact. Capitalists somehow still believe that markets efficiently allocate resources, and any evidence they don't is chalked up to government interference or whatever. Christians believe that saying "God works in mysterious ways" and/or "that's the price of free will" accounts for how fucked up the world is. And communists believe that, when a communist does it, it's not an atrocity.
