Directly compare them with Communist ones, then.
China is the best example. In the doldrums for decades...until they cut loose with their own brand of capitalism and opened up trade with the capitalist world. Now....lookit em go!

Ya, I've used the same argument.
If we aren't actually comparing countries that have actually existed, I guess that makes the case as well as anything else.

Even though it was only on a localised level, anarchist areas of Spain did pretty well.
In some places, money was entirely eliminated, to be replaced with vouchers. Under this system, goods were often up to a quarter of their previous cost.
industrial productivity doubling almost everywhere across the country and agricultural yields being "30-50%" larger
The newly liberated zones worked on entirely [left] libertarian principles; decisions were made through councils of ordinary citizens without any sort of bureaucracy. (The CNT-FAI leadership was at this time not nearly as radical as the rank and file members responsible for these sweeping changes.)
