Oh they’re experiencing it alright
No, no, no. They aren't advanced enough to experience True Capitalism. In Africa, Capitalism has simply never been tried. That's why they don't have the big malls and the ranch style homes and the overabundance of third world natural resources at discount rates.
To the Africans I say GIVE CAPITALISM A CHANCE. Your first step is to launch a fleet of Liberation Ships to the coast of Florida, where you can bring Freedom and Justice to the oppressed peoples of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. Then spread your message of peace, love, and the Grace of God all along the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts, where millions of lazy and uneducated white natives have fallen victim to the removed habits of a Godless Nation. Finally, you can build for yourselves a shining City on a Hill using the newly harnessed energy resources of these once slovenly and backwards peoples. And you can set yourselves up as an example for the rest of the Central World, as a glorious African Union.

No you silly goose. That's not real capitalism. Real capitalism is when nice things happens to white people in office towers in the west.
What does this even mean
It's supposed to be "evidence" that the global south doesn't "use capitalism," which is supposed to explain...something.
Probably some
shit.Imo it's implied that the reason they're "underdeveloped", "poor", and have low life expectancy etc are all because they aren't "using capitalism". Which, while not what they mean, is not entirely wrong; if Angola were the global capitalist hegemon and able to use capitalism as an extractive weapon on other countries, presumably they'd be a lot better off.
It means look at this photograph and hopefully back down because he's bringing hard truths to the argument.
on suicide watch after learning Argentina doesn't "use capitalism"Nordic socialism supporters in shambles
Incredible! To think, if only Africa had ever been affected by capitalism!
My question is, what did Botswana do to get on their good side?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botswana#Independence
In the 1970s, Botswana held a reputation of being one the world's principal producers of diamonds. This reputation has held into the modern day as Botswana's diamond mining industry is among the world's largest.
So England is fully capitalist while Scotland is only partially capitalist?
They technically have their own prime minister-ish figure and are a semi-autonomous nation with their own succdem led parliament. Like they still have to submit to England, but I guess they appease Scots by allowing them some different systems
For example, university is tuition free in Scotland but insanely expensive in England, which basically makes Scotland 50% USSR to these people
This makes no goddamn sense. France is partially capitalist? I could see that being a “social democracy isn’t real capitalism” angle but then why the hell are the Nordic countries full capitalism? Botswana is full capitalism but South Africa is only partial, guessing that’s a “we have to recognize it’s highly developed for Africa but we don’t like Mandela so it gets a ding.”
It's just a map of how much capital exists in each country (maybe per capita to some extent to explain why China is partially capitalist)
This map is fucking awful
Besides the blue, everything's grey. Maybe use more than 2 colors
Very curious how this person would define capitalism
markets, “””””property rights”””””, and ease of registering a business
Landlords' rights.
It’s a ratio of melanin to treat consumption
International Community
Utter fuckin nonsense
They might not use it, but are certainly used BY it.

Communism was abandoned in 1991 which proves it always fails. But capitalism being embraced everywhere afterwards and countries still collapsing shows that communism always fails!
I know this guy pulled this map completely out of his ass, but what exactly is the methodology here? My guuess is "income per capita" because otherwise why would the Nordic Model countries be "full capitalism".
As far as I can tell, it's mostly "colonizers have full capitalism."
