My experience is that many Western leftists will believe almost anything they hear about the non-Western world, as long as it is negative (e.g. families of 20 in India live together in packing crates, 1/6 of Russians have tuberculosis, maybe in Thailand people live in abandoned gopher holes), unless the country in question is non-capitalist.
