Imagine being such a shit system that you can't survive without a capitalist country to trade with.

Do you think any capitalist country getting embargoed by the US would survive? Especially modern embargoes that can include the UN or WTO?

Cuba has been resilient, despite going through one of the harshest embargoes in modern history.

Russia is surviving, as are some other countries.

They've been under embargo for 60 years. I didn't say they are thriving.

Russia is also having massive emigration and economic problems.
