They have some improvements over 19th century peasants. And what little they do have, they owe to free market “capitalism”

Actually, Bolivia has never actually seen a free market, merely a distorted version of capitalist cronyism. Before the commie took over, they were hardly the shiny face of a free market at work. The commie basically took a bad system and made it worse.

No, but the rest of the world benefits from the functioning economy in America and other places. After the Reagan/Thatcher revolution of the 80s, the per capita consumption of meat in the 3rd world went up by about 5x.
