i'm sorry, i thought this wasn't about atrocities? why do you think the US is such a successful country? surely because all those white people spent hours in the cotton fields.

It isn't about atrocities, its about sustainability. And the US has literally 0 slaves and we are more powerful now than we ever were when we did have slaves. So exactly what is your point?

you realize one of the claims of Marxism is that money makes more money, right? the USA is successful because it made a ton of money from slavery, and has basically been coasting on that boon ever since. don't believe me? then why are poor African capitalist countries still poor?

here are my main points:
-any economic system will be successful if it exploits people
-an economic system won't be as successful if it doesn't exploit people
-an economic system is more likely to succeed if the world order is built to support it
-an economic system will likely fail if the world order is not built to support it
-an economic system is more likely to succeed if it has ample time to develop and grow
