We do our best to ignore the countries that do have good social policy, or manufacture reasons that social policy doesn't work while ignoring the exact same problems mirrored in our capitalist system exacerbated by disparity.
The US definitely doesn't ignore countries like the PRC, Cuba, Vietnam, etc that are more rapidly and equitably developing than their peers, it wages active economic warfare if these countries don't play ball. The US Empire needs subjects, after all, so if countries don't bend the knee the US either saber rattles or sanctions them to oblivion.
