You admit then that there is nowhere else in Europe for Yanis to have not participated in capitalism, unless he somehow miraculously managed to stop the dissolution of Russia and it’s friends in the 90s.

Look, the only thing I’m getting from you is the realization that you should not play baseball. You’re so focused on making your own point or trying to zing me that you’re missing the point entirely. I’m not disparaging your intellect, which you clearly are trying to prove to me, an internet stranger, but your need to champion for this guy for ANY reason whatsoever is off-putting.

I’m championing nobody, I’m questioning your silly trumptard-tier statement that Yanis is successful because of capitalism. What on earth does that even mean? You can’t level a charge of hypocrisy there when we all live in that system. Which was why I asked you which country doesn’t engage with capitalism.
