Marxism is a historical conspiracy theory.
You weren't using those resources anyway, therefore you were poor and undeveloped anyway. Your peoples culture was likely integrated into the modern colonial development.
Colonists would live independently from the natives. It was when the natives wanted some of the comforts and conveniences of civilization that they started being integrated and given jobs. Eventually, though, they would outbreed the civilization without understanding how it worked. The natives were basically living off of socialist programs. Of course then history repeats itself and the system collapses. Now you have anuddah shoah as the natives want the government to steal their farms. This of course will lead to starvation.
The Pope is an idiot and also a socialist.
If you have a farm and can support such a large family then things can't be that bad.
It's nobody's fault. The world has finite resources and we are all competing for them. Some methods work better than others, and Capitalism, that is basically don't steal my stuff and honor your contracts, has lead to human prosperity and liberty and freedom and happiness while socialism, which is basically government using theft and deceit, has since its earliest experiments in the 18th century lead to destruction death poverty and misery all over the world for decades and decades.
COMRADE WOLFF GOES FULL LEFT
Idiot.
that's not how development works, you can have tons of resources but lack the capacity to use them.
North Korea for example has lots of rare minerals but lacks the technology to refine them, largely due to the embargo placed on them.
There's also Nigeria, which has a shitton of Oil, but American oil companies legally own most of their oil resources, I wonder why.
Nigger have you ever read a single book on colonialism ever. Native cultures were only integrated insofar as they could be coopted by the colonialists.
I was talking about the colonial system itself
, i.e. the government created by the colonists and propped up by local bourgeoisie who collaborate with the colonists.
If by integrated and given jobs you mean "were forced to produce goods in sweatshops by foreign countries under threat of murder" the yes they were given jobs.
Those government programs were invented so that the native workers could survive in order to reproduce their labor in the factory the next day. They are vital to capitalism, not socialism.
"socialism is when the government does stuff" is the dumbest fucking meme liberals ever came up with.
I changed my mind. "socialism is when you help poor people" is actually the dumbest fucking meme liberals ever came up with.
If The world has finite resources (which nobody disputes btw) maybe an economic system where your forced to compete for them is a bad idea, ya think?
freedom for the capitalists, death for the billions of others who don't own the means of production.
>while socialism, which is basically government using theft and deceit,
You just described capitalism fam. The government uses theft and deceit to maintain private property every day.
Even if you accept every single alleged death caused by socialism as true capitalism still has the higher bodycount.
You apologizing for North Korea is where I stopped reading.(USER WAS BANNED FOR SOPHISTRY.)
I fucking hate North Korea, I was just using them as an example of how more resources does not equal more wealth.
...
This is like layers upon layers of stupid. I don't even know where to begin.
oh shit mods are doing their job
