Socialism leaves it people in worse situations though
the soviets were doing fine until they went capitalist
Living standards fell
Poverty increased
the GDP collapsed
Economy in general collapsed
It was fragile
suicide rates and alcoholism went through the roof
Also half of these are like famines and I just really don’t see how a famine is a result of capitalism
the only famines included are ones related to capitalism
Ireland due to the British policy increasing bread prices to make more money and refusing help
Bengal because the British demanded all food grown went to them
so the people starved
again, to make a profit
same at orissa
I think those are the only famines there
I don’t know enough about those events to make a certain opinion on them
But the colonization in Africa was definitely for military power over the Mediterranean
colonization was mainly done to make more profit
access to new markets, new goods
there may have been other reasons depending on the strategic area but the core reason for colonialism was to make more profit
Hi I'm new
No it wasn't lol
It was gain docks, and bases across the medi
even India was ruled by a business...
Empires were built to obtain cheap labour and raw materials for mercantile capitalism. It wasn’t the kind of globalized, “free-market” capitalism we practice today — but it was very much self-interested, profit-maximizing, shareholder-capitalized companies engaged in commerce, just under different rules about who could trade what, where, how, and when. The means of production were very much operated privately for profit - a key aspect of capitalism.
- some havard economist cant remember their name
If you cant remember the name how are we supposed to confirm it?
no wait professor wolfe I think
Wolff?
Some wolf thing
Just search up professor wolff and he'll show up.
India was ruled by the british crown
It was ruled by the British East India Company
Once more the british crown
the primary reason for colonisation was profit
I find this hilarious cuz from ur pfp's it looks like the emperor and a hippy are arguing over politics
The africas were to poor to be worth colonizing though.
not true
Yes true
diamond mines, slaves
