> Are things better in non-capitalist countries such as Laos or Nambia? Laos and Namibia are capitalist countries. The only two non-capitalist countries that I know are Cuba (and I'm not even sure about that) and North Korea. Both are being suffocated by the big capitalist forces for tens of years, so it's impossible to really assess if they're doing better or worse. Like one of our Russian politics said: "USA strangle them with one hand and empty their pockets using another hand". Hard to say how they'd fare if they weren't strangled. E.g. before they isolated North Korea it was doing much better than South Korea.
