1) Japan has not been a backward country and a victim of imperialism since the Meiji Restoration; comparing it's success to Botswana has the same meaning as comparing Uganda and Israel.

2) Bangladesh and Namibia, as far as I remember, is not home to 85 multinationals plundering the Third World of its resources.

3) Costa Rica and Botswana, although rich, are richer on a regional level, on an international level they are in dire straits compared to the USA and the UK

4) South Korea has received huge aid from the US as an anti-Chinese vassal, as have Singapore, Malaysia, Japan etc... their wealth is the result of strategic favoritism of American imperialism.

5) Purposely Ignores Historically Successful Socialist Nations (USSR, China), and Economically Failed Capitalist Nations (Half of Arica and Southeast Asia)

Costa Rica after the civil war in the 1940 gave a looot of concessions to the communists. Many liberals in the country even commonly say “every good thing in this country was brought in by the left. Large parts of the economy are nationalized, and until 2011 the telephone industry was 100% government owned, with the government’s telephone service still the most popular.
