And I haven't said all Capitalist countries are great or successful or democratic; although the more democratic they are, the more successful they tend to be. The Paris Commune lasted a couple of months didn't it - and that was spent fighting, how can anyone judge its worth? Revolutionary Catalonia the same, in a chaotic war (with the left inflicting as much damage on each other as the Fascists did - read Orwell's Homage to Catalonia). Kurds in Syria - again in a chaotic war.

Cuba is more Socialist than Uruguay and Venezuela because Cuba has practically everything under state control, with the inevitable inefficiencies, empty shelves etc, Uruguay and Venezeula still have lots of private (Capitalist) businesses, the fruits of which pay for their Socialist policies.

Generally the more wealthy a capitalist country is the more democratic they tend to be. Capitalism generally works better in a situation which is meritocratic, and needs a certain degree of flexibility that isn't seen in dictatorships and totalitarianism.

People often mistake countries like Saudi as capitalist, they aren't, not really. The market and flow of wealth is constrained and directed far too much by authority outside of capital.

Of course no country is truly capitalist (as non is truly socialist), because governments attempt to control and direct the markets towards their interest.

Probably have control of their own borders and laws, we don't.
