Capitalism doesn't necessarily keep poor countries poor. If it weren't for the capitalist system, first rate countries would have no incentive to outsource, thus providing no jobs, investment, infrastructure, or education to third world nations.
The Soviet Union wasn't known for being particularly generous to countries it didn't need.
