Capitalism is simply the most successful system in the world, so it's an easy target for edgy teens who want something to blame for their failures. But please do tell me how I'm exploiting the world, or how I'm violent or racist. Maybe you can call me an fascist incel so the word salad has all the cool things kids say nowadays permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago (1 child) Brazil follows the great northern European style of capitalism and this shit doesn't work if you don't exploit the global south. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] masterflappie@europe.pub -3 points 10 months ago Brazil?

Half of the things you point to here are governmental actions, not capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system, not an ideology, it doesn't control what the government should or shouldn't do. And none of it even relates to the topic at hand, which was colonialism. And financial oligarchies are 100% just a hallucination, prettied up in fancy words so it sounds like you're making an argument. You do not need permission from an oligarchy to make financial transactions. If the global north would stop trading with the global south, to "fix" this supposed exploitation, people like you would be the first to start crying about how an embargo on the south is preventing them from moving up the value chain in production. There is no logic here, just accusations.
