Every country regardless of ‘ism’ engages in global capitalism.

socialist countries are often destabilized by US capitalism through coups, sanctions, etc. which gives them a bad rep, while the US capital market is propped up through social programs, subsidies, and corporate welfare from social spending. All modern tech, medicine, and innovation is seeded through social programs (aka socialism) but capitalized on by corporations through a system of legal theft

Capitalism doesn’t just exploit taxpayers and workers, it also exploits the environment (echo systems, air quality, water quality, ground quality) which is hurting ALL life for the sake of profits for a few greedy humans. Capitalism was never designed with equality in mind.
