In capitalism, agreement or disagreement with someone doesn’t lead you to death.
- coldtea 7y agoYes, this is externalized in capitalism to the developing countries which it plunders (and which well into the 60s, most major capitalist forces used to have directly as colonies)...
- Ygg2 7y agoColonialism predates capitalism and feudalism. It's not caused by it.
- coldtea 7y agoAncient colonialism had different forms (e.g. settlement). Modern colonialism (Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, England, France, and to a lesser degree US, Italy, and Germany) was a practice of the emerged capitalist states that started and flourished after the historically agreed upon dawn of capitalism (circa late medieval Italian city states and later the rest of Europe), and fed it.
