Right. They have contributed a lot to culture. A lot of literary, scientific, technological, philosophical and artistic achievements. Idk why people that have only benefited from France by enjoying these achievements, and not at all suffered from it as some have, unfortunately, hate on it.

Why is everyone hating on french people? I do not quite get it.

Why would you not compare european communist countries woth european capitalist countries? Sure, africans and asians were poorer, but that goes without saying, honestly, what does that even have to do with this matter?

East Germany was poorer than west Germany. That tells us something. The fact that Ethiopia or whatever was poorer does not really tell us much about ehich economic system is better.
