> Capitalism has been dumping toxic waste from the west in developing nations, like used electronic and plastics
Well, I did talk about wages rising, specifically, and not environmental waste. But it really is true that developed countries now want many developing countries to stop their environmental damage right as they are industrializing, meanwhile discounting their own environmental damage in the centuries prior. The truth is that industrialization requires some sort of short term environmental damage (as long as we use fossil fuels still) but thankfully, many nations are using renewables, including the China you talk about. China's (and indeed most others') rise has only been through after adopting capitalist principles, look at their growth until the 80s, and then from the 80s to today. I don't agree that we should have non-interventionist capitalism, but I won't deny that capitalism has been the single greatest driver of prosperity in human history, even with all of its faults.
