      All capitalist countries are well-functioning, it’s just some are exploiters and some are exploited. But that’s not a malfunction, that’s there by design.

      Or, to quote Chomsky:

      We therefore conclude that in India the democratic capitalist “experiment” since 1947 has caused more deaths than in the entire history of the “colossal, wholly failed…experiment” of Communism everywhere since 1917: over 100 million deaths by 1979, tens of millions more since, in India alone.

      Exporting your poverty and starvation to foreign countries where you super-exploit and plunder does not mean that the cause isn’t with the “well functioning Capitalist country.”
