The Global South should give capitalism a try one of these decades. It paid off for Asia and Europe…

You used so many words to say that you’re clueless.

Leftists and ad-hominem attacks, name a more iconic duo

Its not an as hominem attack kid ^^ As hominem would be: you are an idiot and therefore wrong. What he says is “you write wrong stuff and are therfore an idiot”

Huge difference

So, you’re saying that the Global South (either Africa or South America) has made major, concerted attempts at creating effective capitalist states?

There’s a few examples. Australia, of course, though Leftists will obviously discount it.

Chile very deliberately adopted capitalism, though it was under an oppressive dictator. Even so, it’s #3 on the list of South American countries for per-capita GDP these days, and is topping the list for political freedoms.

Uruguay, with it’s famously beige recent politics, is #1.

Of course, you have Indonesia, which has been doing pretty well recently. I wonder why? (/s)

Malaysia and Singapore are technically in the northern hemisphere, so they don’t count I guess…

Most of South America has historically swung radically back and forth between left and right (yes, in part due to US pressure). There’s a leftward swing again. Let’s see how it goes this time! Good news is that if it fails, they can just blame external forces yet again.
