      When I read “West”, I read “developed world”.

      Japan, South Korea, Tawain, etc, are as developed as the West. Most of China is now too, but there are billions more that aren’t developed.

      Westerners eat meat everyday, nearly everyone drives cars everywhere, they buy heaps of cheap clothes and electronics made by slave or near-slave labor, they drink coffee and eat chocolate grown by the same. They go on expensive, polluting and disruptive globetrotting vacations. You think all that and more will stick around in a more equitable society?

      I’m sorry I wasn’t inclusive enough in my chastising, Commissar. It’ll be the same story for them, too.
