You say that like Russia isn't Capitalist as all get out.

The only good counterpoint to Capitalism in the modern global landscape is Singapore, and possibly China if you're feeling extra spicy and support their version of global hegemony.

The modern Russian state is a Fascist Autocracy propped up by Oligarchs. Y'know, what Trump likes.

Edit: Actually I'm going to add Slovenia to that as well, as I had a great time learning about that Jewel of a Country before the Delta Variant absolutely wrecked it.

When I was there in 2018, it was a fantastically eye-opening example of a successful socialist state.
