USian here, Communism works exceptionally well considering constant Imperial siege from the US empire. It's pretty clear to me that it's the way forward, without Imperialist influence (like brutal sanctions and bombings) AES countries would have even better metrics, when they already have better metrics compared to Capitalist countries of similar development.
What’re these?
Actually Existing Socialism. Cuba, Vietnam, the PRC, Laos, DPRK, the former USSR, etc.
Yes, those are definitely the best places to live. Especially compared to ugly capitalists states such as luxembourg or switzerland.
Considering Luxembourg and Switzerland are essentially landlords in country format, I don't think I'd feel happy knowing I was standing on the blood and sweat of workers in the Global South.
So you would be happier getting abused by authoritarian regimes in North Korea, for example? Weird flex but okay.
