      Can you name a pure capitalist state that’s succeeded without socialist elements keeping it afloat?

      Most socialist states are better after their revolutions as opposed to before. The USSR went from a borderline feudal society to putting people in orbit in 50 years. Additionaly, socialist states outperform capitalist ones in similar wealth categories.
