Making money and having fun are the only peaceful cooperative human endeavors. It is
politicians and rich people keeping people poor in poor countries that prevents peace and
prosperity. The rich and powerful in poor countries are definitely doing what they can to
keep poor people poor. But this is not the Fault of America.
They are not doing it as capitalism, though. It is definitely what Marx described as
capitalism, but what Marx was talking about was landed aristocracy and hereditary power,
which was what he described in England. Communists and socialist countries merely
transferred the names. The state enterprises became the new landed aristocrats, and as is
their wont, the new lords tried their best to make sure their children and their siblings and
siblings children and their 3rd generation the inheritors of their power and riches. With
China and Cuba being but the best examples.
In every so-called classless society there are clear classes observable.
In south America the landed aristocrats are still old families, the state enterprises and the
church, that they lack the titles duke, lord and king doesn't change the nature of their
being and existence. In Africa and Asia too, it's the same as 1840's English, which is what
Marx studied.
That post feudal, pre-modern society was securely anchored in the zero sum game of
wealth which the Catholic church as been promulgating since it's beginning and which has
been the basis for most political thought since the dawn of time.
Northern Europe's Protestantism wiped out the zero sum game ideology, which is why
non-Catholic northern Europe is richer than Catholic southern Europe. Zero sum, where it
is believed that there is a finite amount of wealth in the world, or dukedom, and thus if the
one with the least gets a little more then the one with the most believes that he now has a
little less, and no one is altruistic enough to allow that.
