No way.
When we meet aliens from outer space, we'll yell:
We poison our air and water to weed out the weak!
We set off fission bombs in our only biosphere!
We nailed our god to a stick!
Don't fuck with the human race!

And have free or heavily subsidised housing, transportation, education, healthcare and food? Death to democratic centralism, but don't twist facts.

Almost ten percent of the Barbados population cannot satisfy their basic needs for food, and close to twenty percent are without other basic living standards.
More than 19 percent of homes in urban areas fell below the poverty line compared to 30.3 percent in rural areas. Costa Rica’s cities saw an extreme poverty rate of 5.2 percent compared to 10.6 percent in the countryside.

Except of course they don't have a good education system, or health care system, or subsidised food and housing. Because here's the thing about poverty. I grew up pretty poor by Western standards, we didn't have disposable income. I never had any games consoles, we never went on holidays, we never really ate out or went to the cinema, but I live in a country with a good welfare state, so I grew up healthy and happy.
