My cousin just told me capitalism was so great, (while I have a more sinister theory about capitalism and why Karl Marx was right in some areas)

I told him if capitalism is so great why is that other third world countries that are capitalist not as developed like United States?

Capitalists say capitalism is the best, not perfect. There are plenty of socialist and communist countries that are undeveloped and poor, too.

@InvaderNice: There is only a few socialist countries,and a far from that I don't believe we are capitalist like define by Adam Smith.And I believe the vision Adam Smith trying to describe is illusion like communism. is just the western nations ripping off the third world and telling them bullshit stories about capitalism.
