    Can you point me to a real first world developed country not run by a dictator that doesn’t have capitalism? I need a reference to see that the alternative is better. Genuinely asking.

      No, because we live in a global society where if you don’t participate in global trade (especially with the USA in the past couple hundred years), your country will fail.

      The USA has played a massive part in making communist experiments fail, most notibly the USSR.

      The closest thing that the western world has is the nordic countries’ social democracy, which is still capitalist by nature. They only implemented it, though due to communism being literally right around the corner (USSR)
