as I see it, there are two basic models being pushed- and neither of these are in the interest of the third world countries... one is the liberal democracy model... abortion, transgenderism, etc... total breakdown of morals and in Third World contexts... well... look at South Africa. they have been the number one in "lgbt rights" in Africa and now look what's happening there. then there is the Cuba type model- socialism; the kind of model Malema wants.
of course the ussr fell, the socialist thing has mostly collapsed and after the ussr fell, Fukuyama claimed it was the End of History, that US liberal democracy and so apparently the end of history is we all eat McDonalds, are morally decadent, drink coca-cola and comfortably allow our children to be aborted... and now we even let our children be groomed and sexualized in the schools...
some people have low confidence, deep sense of inferiority and so they just follow whatever the West tells them.... in reality, Fukuyama's theory has failed, China and numerous other countries are challenging the dystopia of turning the entire world into a homogenous blob of angloliberalism....
anglo liberal democracy is NOT the final system. nor is some ideal system revealed by God. nor is secularism some divine entity with a halo.
there are tons of people in Spain who miss General Franco. from the 1930's until Franco's death in the 70's, they lived under Franco's National Catholic regime.
it was not remotely secular. yet Spain did very well, they were way better off (including economically, since I know the secularists are materialist people) and tons of the people miss that era.
the CIA killed Franco's successor and paved the way for the current Spanish regime and the Spanish people are way worse off.
secular democracy has been a disaster for Spain, they were way better off under their previous religious government and lots of Spanish people agree- that's why there are still tons of Franco supporters in Spain.
obviously, that is not the model for the region in question here but it clearly shows that angloliberalism is not the end-all be-all
Spanish miracle
The
Spanish miracle (
Spanish:
El Milagro español, literally, "The Spanish Miracle") was the name given to a period of exceptionally rapid and broadly-based economic development in Spain from 1959 to 1974,
during the latter part of the Francoist regime. The economic boom was brought to an end by the 1970s international
oil and
stagflation crises.

this was under a religious government of state Catholicism, after a religious revolution that had taken place in the 1930's (which had established the regime).
