One thing people need to understand is that the Cold War is over. The US currently doesn't really care about socialist or capitalist government. What they care about right now is a party that will be allies with them or at least do business in a way that will benefit them. A country can be socialist, but if they are allies wit the US, then there will be no problem from the US. Venezuela and Cuba have governments that were opposing the US. The US was (is) not against them because of their political ideology; they're against them because they refuse to bend to the will of the US. Even as Cuba is a socialist, one-party system country, if they become pro-US, the US would have no issue with them. So what do you suggest? What is your alternative? Have these same governments that are corrupt now control everything in the country? Would that solve the issue? If they can be corrupt when other people hold the power and money, what do you think will happen when they are the ones with the power and money? Africa would have been worse if it were a socialist or communist society. Giving a continent wth the worst set of politicians total control and power will make everything worse. Take Nigeria, for example. It has arguably the worst government in the continent, yet the citizens still find ways to survive, build businesses and employ labour. Imagine how it would have been with these same leaders in a socialist system.
