'Tis a proof that capitalism is a failure. So much so that most Russians prefer the USSR and Socialism back. Heck, even an anti-Communist institution managed to accidentally share pro-Socialist propaganda by showing this and this lol
The people of panjim wanted India back after 450 years, so they protested, and in 1961, India conquered Panjim, but then they exploited the same people and now they are brutally torturing them Read this and This
First, I have to say that I do not understand Portuguese, so I had to use Google Translate, so sorry if I misinterpreted the articles.
India, despite being an ally of the USSR and strong support for socialism, was never socialist and is still capitalist today. This is important, for the material condition of the people dictates what they can or cannot do, what is desireable for them, and how they can execute the actions. What people believe or whatever their morality is are only secondary to the material condition. If this material condition happens to be capitalism which is a system that requires an exploiter and an exploitee, then there will always be someone who exploits and someone who is exploited irregardless of what they personally believe. This is just proving my point that capitalism is a failure.
The articles also mentioned about the mass immigration to Goa, being a relatively wealthy region compared to the rest of India; this is also one manifestation of capitalism. I really recommend watching this video series for a better detailed explanation; it talks about gentrification which is basically a smaller and short-scale version of what's happening to Goa.
Another is about the disappearing culture. Remember, capitalism puts profit above all, so this is unsurprising; it makes more economic sense to use standard languages for official activities, and they will try to drill the standard languages to children while discouraging them from the "non-standard languages" because they're associated with the "lower class" and therefore "not professional".
A tangent, but interest for a culture has been commodified nowadays which now exists as some sorta informal market. Take Kurdish and Japanese cultures for example: Kurdish languages and cultures are being oppressed, and interest for them are low, so the Kurdish people are actually willing to pay for their languages and cultures to be taught and spread to strangers across the world, while Japanese language and culture on the other hand, it is in abundance and freely distributed, and the interest for them are also high, but Japanese people and other people who are well acquainted to the language and culture want to monetize their knowledge; I've seen at least 3-5 people in Discord who had monetized their Japanese knowledge to teach it to others, and some more are also considering doing the same thing.
Is that not weird? Letting capitalism commodify everything we take for granted?

And I don't get your intention for saying that. We don't know what will happen in the future as a result of our choice, therefore, don't make rational choices because it can lead to undesireable outcomes? Therefore, continue making irrational choices because it can lead to desireable outcomes?
Not everything has a middle-ground. Social Democracy, the supposed middle-ground of capitalism and Socialism that's in use in Nordic countries, is an exploitative system. It implemented high taxes for the workers and exploited poorer countries through outsourcing and
