Capitalism operated almost exclusively as monarchies for the first 200 years. Hundreds of capitalist countries have failed, but why are only the failed communist states counted against the ideology? Vietnam, Cuba, and China certainly haven't failed. Now I don't consider those to be socialist or communist projects, but they're undeniably different from the capitalist status quo. What specifically do you mean when you say a country fails in the first place?
