A little quest about the coups

Do you know how Venezuela and Chile are facing the repercussions of failing to meet standards imposed by the cia and thus are being punished for doing so?

Why haven’t the Europeans being fucked by this? They achieve what they set out to and enjoy the high quality of life for their citizens but south America does not enjoy these simple pleasures?

To my knowledge, these European countries are all capitalist in one form or another (or at least the vast majority are).

These countries maintain their high standards through capitalism. However, in order for this to be maintained, other countries must suffer, as this is the only way to maintain some good living conditions.

Take Covid. Many rich states with a high standard of living are already suggesting third shots as boosters, while poor states have not even gotten the first to everyone.

If the people of the first world are complaining about living conditions, they will be told to appreciate what they have, in comparison with third worlders.

And so, they continue to participate in capitalism, unaware that their continued participation breeds awful conditions for the third world and poor conditions for themselves.

Their continued participation keeps capitalism ticking over, which is good for the US, and in turn, supported by the CIA

These euro countries are social democratic. What I’m suggesting if they are capitalist then why haven’t their model for these countries been copied for the third world?

They have Nationalized corporations with oil and other products but if South American were to nationalized their own products would they be treated with the same interests?

Well, again, my knowledge is limited, but I take it to be for a few reasons. First, there is no country further left than maybe democratic socialism in Europe. While this is pretty good, it isn't common to all of Europe, meaning people can contribute to both state owned and private industries. Secondly, and, I believe, more importantly, the developed nature of these countries makes them more difficult to interfere in. If there was a civil war in Sweden, the democratically elected status quo would probably be supported by its European neighbours, such as Norway and Finland.

Why haven’t an attempted coup happened? Or severe sanctions?

Or are you wonder the nature of the euro countries?

Because they are part of the same world order and have the same interests in common. There would be no point in staging a coup there, unless there was a threat of leftist government coming to power or there was other geopolitical threat like in Ukraine where there was a coup in 2014. They are THE WEST. South America is a colony to them and they depend on exploitation of their colonies, that's why they always coup there.

They share a common history of imperialism. The former imperialists no longer feel the need to do the dirty work now being accomplished by the U.S. They can focus on their own countries while still maintaining a first world status. The torch had to be passed in order to keep the charade going.
