Not all of these countries are "non-capitalist." This is a list of parties that are anti-capitalist/communist, some with only one or two seats in their country's parliament.
The introduction to the article even makes this clear:
> Of the 66 states listed here, 9 of them are republics ruled by a socialist, communist or anticapitalist party, five of them are official socialist states ruled by a communist party, of them four of them espouse Marxism–Leninism (China, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam) while the fifth (North Korea) espouses Juche.

- c22 8y agoLike I said, much deeper research ;) Thanks for the links, they are a much better jumping off point. I cross-referenced [0] with the tables on [1] and population data from [2] to build this list for further analysis: Country *ist since Total wealth (USD) Mean wealth/adult (USD) Median wealth/adult (USD) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- China 1 October 1949 29,000 billion 26,872 6,689 Pop 2017: 1.386 billion Pop 1949: 542 million* Pop growth/year: 12.41 million Laos 2 December 1975 22 billion 5,662 1,382 Pop 2017: 6.758 million Pop 1975: 3.042 million Pop growth/year: 88,476 Vietnam 2 July 1976 358 billion 5,391 2,235 Pop 2017: 95.54 million Pop 1976: 49.81 million Pop growth/year: 1.12 million Bangladesh 11 April 1971 263 billion 2,612 1,587 Pop 2017: 164.67 million Pop 1971: 66.42 million Pop growth/year: 2.14 million Guyana 6 October 1980 2 billion 5,345 2,510 Pop 2017: 777,859 Pop 1980: 780,153 Pop growth/year: -62 India 18 December 1976 4,987 billion 8,976 4,295 Pop 2017: 1.339 billion Pop 1976: 635.77 million Pop growth/year: 17.15 million Nepal 20 September 2015 40 billion 2,392 1,151 Pop 2017: 29.30 million Pop 2015: 28.66 million Pop growth/year: 320,000 Portugal 2 April 1976 750 billion 89,437 38,242 Pop 2017: 10.29 million Pop 1976: 9.4 million Pop growth/year: 21,707 Sri Lanka 7 September 1978 68 billion 4,802 2,448 Pop 2017: 21.44 million Pop 1978: 14.53 million Pop growth/year: 177,179 Tanzania 26 April 1964 22 billion 858 510 Pop 2017: 57.31 million Pop 1964: 11.34 million Pop growth/year: 867,358 *https://countryeconomy.com/demography/population/china?year=1949 Missing data for: Cuba, North Korea Then I noticed the information at [2] could be remixed in several interesting ways. Looking at charts like [3] and [4] was illuminating. It seems like the "outcomes" of some of these countries are not unfavorable, depending, of course, on what metric you choose to measure.

- dnautics 8y agoWhile china is ruled by a nominally communist party, its party is definitely undergoing deliberative market reforms that are inspired by western capitalism.
