And to see what has happened in China in the generation since Tiananmen Square, makes it difficult to deny economic development there.
Of course there is "economic development". There was "economic development" in Nicaragua under Somoza. The GDP was rising dramatically as cattle ranches met the market demand for fast food restaurant supplies. There was economic development in South Korea under the Chaebol system. The Asian tigers were a big fucking deal a while back. In Erdogan's first term, there were expectations that Turkey would "take off". Thomas Friedman has an article at least every 3 months about the next great thing happening somewhere in the Third World.
Like I said, Carl, this is a Marxism list, not an "economic development" list.
