    Nobody is denying how destructive capitalism is as a whole but only a very dishonest person would deny that it was western capitalists who pushed their diseased way of being onto the rest of the world and not the reverse. The Chinese and Indians are not doing anything that western corporations have not spent the past several hundred years doing.

        It really wasn’t a “choice”. Western capitalist interests have spent the past seven decades trying to bully the rest of the world into falling in line with their nefarious aims. And last I checked KFC, McDonald’s, Burger King, Dominos’ Pizza, Pizza Hut, Kelloggs, et al. were all western interests. I see them in every country I go to, they are a large part of the reason for the global obesity crisis. None of them are known for selling traditional Vietnamese, Kenyan or Mongolian cuisine.

          It really is. Their governments could reject Western Capitalism. They don’t. Why? Because they’re just as greedy as them.

            Sure. That’s worked out great for Cuba and countless others who have their elected leaders assassinated by Western powers but please tell me more about this supposed “choice”…
