Largely stems from chauvinism that hasn't been confronted yet. They realize that capitalism is bad, but they still believe that it's impossible for anyone to be doing better than the west.

chauvanism

BTW it's "chauvinism". I don't mean to be an asshole, I just see this incorrect spelling of this specific word very often. 100% agree with your comment.

Damn you got me lol, thanks! I don't have auto-correct on my phone (privacy reasons) so I make spelling errors frequently. Thanks!
