    Imo it’s implied that the reason they’re “underdeveloped”, “poor”, and have low life expectancy etc are all because they aren’t “using capitalism”. Which, while not what they mean, is not entirely wrong; if Angola were the global capitalist hegemon and able to use capitalism as an extractive weapon on other countries, presumably they’d be a lot better off.
