So when you found a counter example to what you believed is possible did it lead you to reconsider your premises?

A large, possibly the only, reason you believe that the U.S. and UK corporations are at fault for much of what’s wrong in the world is because Americans and Brits (broadly, “the western world”) are actually allowed to write about and publish their criticisms of their own countries.

Just as an example of this within the same ideological space, because it might be harder for you to accept that the USSR, China, Latin American and African nations themselves might be responsible for a lot of this, consider France.

France arguably has as bad if not a worse colonial history than the UK, and one that has continued much later than the UK’s (as evidenced by the several African military coups over the past couple of years which have drawn support almost entirely due to the ruling powers’ relationships with France), but you didn’t even bother mentioning them likely because any terrible French colonial activity has likely been criticized in French, a language you probably don’t read.
