Good question.

I'd say both in the case of India. It was pathetically impoverished before political socialism came to the front.



In truth, the government in India is more corporatist. Either way, the suffering continues in spite of platitudes about ending poverty.

We had a well-defined threat. We knew who the bad guys were. And we didn't have all these commie lovers running around. Plus the bad guys in the movies were cooler too. I don't seriously want to go back to it, but I am nostalgic for those days.
