Yes Haiti is poorer than Cuba. I was asking if there is any non-capitalist society doing as well as the United States. Not the shittiest, poorest example of a technically capitalist society that you can find.

You can also compare life expectancy in Cuba with life expectancy in the USofA. Cuba with all kinds of trade embargoes and a history of poverty has better life expectancy than USA.
Moreover, if, for arguments sake, you pick the most powerful capitalist state for comparison - I should also be free to pick the weakest capitalist state to balance things out.
