  without relying on destroying the third world

  Whether you’re talking about Russia or China here, both of those countries have massive resources, both natural and in terms of population. I’d argue that they didn’t have to look for (other) third world countries to ruin; they had plenty of area and people of their own to turn to.

  Also, a Lemmy ML user charging into the comments to defend state capitalism in oppressive regimes kinda proves my point.
