I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

I’d sure as shit rather live in China than India. I’d rather live in Cuba than Haiti, I’d rather live in Vietnam than Myanmar, I’d rather have lived in the USSR than the vast majority of Africa.
Turns out, the only capitalist countries that communist countries didn’t do better than are the ones that got wealthy through centuries of brutal colonialism, exploitation, and slavery. Communist countries managed to develop in a fraction of the time, and with a fraction of the human misery, that it took places like the USA and Britain.
Ah yes, India, Haiti, and Myanmar. Definitely what people instantly think of when prompted for the average modern capitalist democracy rather than the us, uk, denmark, sweden, norway, germany, netherlands…cherry pick a bit harder and you might start making sense
Correct, other than extremely self-absorbed westerners who don’t know that the rest of the world exists and that non-white people are people too.
You’re literally the one demanding that we cherry pick here, man.
Those were your picks for the average capitalist democracy but I’m the one cherry picking? Lmao
Correct, yes. I’m not sure what your confusion is.
So Myanmar, really? the country that got coup’d in 2021 is what you think of as a modern democracy? So are you retarded or just bad faith? Maybe both?
Do you have actual point, beyond performative incredulity and slurs?
Haiti? Where just in 2021 their president was assassinated. Point should be clear, your selection of the “average modern democracy” was just bad faith coping garbage. Even looking at the rankings, Myanmar doesn’t qualify as a democracy for obvious reasons, Haiti is almost at the bottom of the list and India isn’t even halfway up. So yes, it does seem that you’re both bad faith and retarded. Point clear? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Ranking
I notice none of the countries you used as “Average capitalist democracies” (which were all western, European, colonialist states that had gotten rich off exploitation before they were even democratic, for some reason) aren’t in the middle of the list (the completely nonobjective list with an arbitrary methidology) either.
I guess your selection was just bad faith coping garbage.
If all you’re trying to prove is that rich countries are richer than poor countries; no kidding.
