Who would make such a transparently idiotic, uninformed comparison just to score some China-Bad points? *Checks James Palmer's bio* Oh. Yeah, not surprising.

Furthermore, how can Denmark be viable model for non-capitalists when it can only exist under the protective umbrella of US military hegemony that ensures it has its colonialist share of underpaid resources extracted across the "developing world"? This is shortsighted.
Unlike, one assumes, the communist states, which have never engaged in extraction from the third world. Tell that to the Kazakhs who used to live by the banks of the Aral Sea. Or the Uighyrs that pick Xinjiang cotton.

Bret, you're arguing with someone who says they'd prefer Stalin to Denmark. Just block them for being an obvious fucking idiot and move on.

Fair. The educator in me may have gotten ahead of my judgement here.

Sure, there's no denying the extractivism and environmental damage due to soviet industrialization. The thing is they needed to extract and industrialize to "catch up" and be able to survive. Western nations exploit & extract from a position of power to derive capitalist profits.

The Uighurs have mechanized their textile industry and seem to be doing quite well with it, although they will now probably be boycotted by the west for some time. Not sure I'd call them "third world".

We also shouldn't overlook the role played by the USSR in bolstering numerous anticolonial movements across the globe. Of course they're far from perfect, but we cannot honestly say they operated in the same way as European/US nations did at the time.
