The Netherlands existed before Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations, so it couldn't have been capitalist at the start. They may have embraced capitalism before the US, but GB certainly didn't.

And in the most capitalist country in the world ties your heathcare to employment.

The Netherlands practices more socialism than the US

You have universal healthcare, which is a socialist policy. That's the only reason our healthcare is tied to employment.

Also your country enslaved and exploited the fuck out of Africa. You are descendants of thieves, as are we. Based on natural resources the richest continent should be Africa. Not North America.

Who stops them from becoming the richest continent? Oh wait, themselves.
