    Who said anything about utopias? I’m talking about states that went from feudal colonial hellholes to industrial powers with raising standards of living

    China, the Soviet Union, Cuba, Allende’s Chile, Burkina Faso, Vietnam, all of them achieved an explosion of prosperity that required capitalist states to engage in war, genocide, terrorism and blockades to contain their demonstration effect

        What you THINK is irrelevant, it’s an undeniable fact all those countries experienced an incredible explosion of development and raising standards of living compared to what they had before and after US intervention experienced mass death, crashes and falling life expectancy

        Also in what universe is China and Vietnam not prosperous? They experienced the greatest decrease of poverty in human history, are you ok?
