We don't export democracy, we export capitalism.

The democratically elected Salvador Allende would agree with you.

So would Kissinger, I would bet.

How many non-capitalist countries did the US invade/occupy/destabilize in the last 30 years?

What is your point? I'm asking a serious question. I really don't understand how this relates to the GP.

I think the distinction between "Capitalism" as a philosophy and "US Capitalism" (ie economic ties to the US) is being confused here.

My point is you cannot export capitalism to a country that already has it, so it has to be something else.

I agree. More like exporting a debt economy, which necessarily has to be capitalist at some level.
