For Western people, capitalism has offered a way better lifestyle than communism could. Even the East German fascist people rejected it after WWII, having to suffer the consequence of their factories being shipped to war ravaged Russia. I don't blame you for your cheering capitalism. If you want to make this an Asian foot race for prosperity, I think China is better compared with India for size and poverty level before China went communist. Productivity, literacy, infant mortality rates, and general health all became much better in China than India under communism. China was not following a Soviet model. The Soviet Union became revisionist after Stalin's death causing the rift with China. The Chinese communist revolution focused on the countryside peasants, encircling the cities. The Bolshevik's organized the workers. China was not following a Soviet blueprint dogmatically. Besides the wealth of First World nations, I don't see Third World countries benefiting from capitalism all that much, the poor nations stay poor. With the resultant starvation, dysentery, and infant deaths all but ignored by the West.
