Careful! By including more of the world in the Global South, you're gonna start seeing more and more thriving capitalist countries, which kinda underlines my initial point.
You know that Hong Kong (occupied by the evil British!) provided the inspiration for Deng Xiaoping's U-turn? Now it's a joke to call China communist, and it's GDP per capita looks like this...
Yes, Britain is capitalist these days. No, it was not a modern capitalist society in the 1700s--or at least, it was only just emerging. India was given to the East India Company by edict of the King.
Maybe spend the time to minimally educate yourself on the subject you’re attempting to debate here instead of opining about things you very clearly don’t have any clue about? The fact that you think communism could ever work in the real world is just the cherry on top.
China is not a capitalist country, and the only joke here is that you think it's not communist. One simple test that shows how wrong you are is to compare how China and India developed with India going the actual capitalist route. China also doesn't suffer from the economic crashes that happen every decade under capitalism. If you actually want to educate yourself then you should watch this informative video about China https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT7Th2aV0wM
You're like a poster child for the Dunning-Kruger syndrome here.
