Honest question. Seems like every time there's an "economic miracle" it comes from countries moving to the right economically.

I'm curious if there are any examples of right wing nations moving left significantly and the people getting richer?

-Brazil: no
-Chile: no
-Mexico: no
-China: no
-Spain: no
-Greece: no
-Cuba: no
-Venezuela: no
-Argentina: no
-Poland: no

Can any democrats help me out here?

Can you take a guess when China's economy started soaring? Can you guess what changed???

China is an awful example for you to show leftist policies being successful.

Most wealthy countries got that way by white dudes slaughtering the inhabitants and enslaving them to build up their empires.

China has moved further left in the last decade than any other culture. Granted they started on the extreme right.

Yikes. You are completely ignorant of their economic policies the last 40 years? You are saying they were far right economic policies in the 70s? And they have moved left? wow

The govt controlled the economy, if you started a foreign business there the govt had to control the majority position.

The majority of citizens were not allowed to own a business outright.

All that has changed, to a degree.

And blacks in America can thank their lucky stars that they live in one of those countries 400 years post North American colonialism. Otherwise, the vast majority of them would be sleeping on dirt floors and drinking filthy water in Africa. Our forefathers say "you are welcome."

You are claiming that 10 years ago all business in China was owned by government? And you are claiming that is a policy of the right? I am so confused.
