    If US was the first fastest growing than it was only because they sucked the life and stole from others.

      For more background information, The international organizations like International Monetary Fund, World Bank, Free Trade Organization, and UN in the past had helped the former imperialist countries free ride on the former colonies after Hitler badly damage the European empires and subject the Europeans to the same war crimes that the Europeans practice against non-Europeans.

      To make it more rediculous, France now sustain its status as a developed country through colonial tax from its former colonies for any prosperity that the former colonies gain on the lies that the France is responsible for all the development and success of their former colonies which disregard the fact that the former colonies were more prosperitive before colonization by France and that the European industrial revolution start from the stolen industrial technologies in Africa and India.

      Also, Canada become prosperitive now because its Bank of Montreal hide the stolen wealth from the colonized people in a money laundering scheme.

      I think it was actually Japan, at least for a few years.

    OP, if you did this please double check the point about calorie consumption. IIRC, this is based on a CIA report which compared calorie consumption in the US and USSR but the report is often misquoted. Out states that calorie consumption was adequate and about equal to that if the USA but USA consumption was still a little higher.

      I thought half the point was that food in the USSR was healthier.

        Even if the report used the word “healthy” which I do not recall, “healthy” was very different from what we mean nowadays.

    BTW if anyone wants sources and more info, check out Capitalism Doesn’t Work by Dessalines, one of the head devs of Lemmy.

    He also debunks every major anticommunist talking point under the sun, backed with sources, many of then from Western outlets for that extra bit of embarrassment that they can’t keep their narrative straight. It’s a treat.
