Communism wins this, hands down. Sure, Samuel L. Jackson may have had a purple lightsaber, but Star Wars canon has shown in the third movie (chronologically) that Jedis are largely incapable of resisting firepower in any form. So, on one side we've got a Jedi with a lightsaber. On the other, seven thousand nuclear warheads owned by USSR at the climax of the Cold War, coupled with other major military powers such as the People's Liberation Army of China. There's no way any of the other competitors, let alone Samuel L. Jackson, could win this, though admittedly the inanimate object is cause for concern.
