not a capitalism thing at all
"not a good idea when posting something as evidence of the big bad capitalism killing machine"
you've given me some pretty good evidence of that
Not at all
Give an argument
As to why it's exclusive to capitalism
Getting bored of repeating myself, but here we go:
"Industries have financial incentives to maintain capitalist spheres of trade throughout the world
e.g. the rubber trade having an incentive to open up African markets
e.g. the Congo
"to plant their military base etc"
What does this even mean? What non-Vietnamese communist military bases existed in Vietnam?
Why would communists have an incentive to put military bases there?"
No shit they don't have military bases in countries directly around them, the U.S doesn't do that either
your 'proof' that these conditions for intervention could equally exist "under any system" is entirely insufficient
What the Soviet union did was to spread it to nations far from it, something the U.S also did
It's up to you to prove it's a capitalism thing, which it isn't
Gentleman.
communism is predicated on collective ownership & operation of the means of production, this implies no imperialist motive
sup
hahaha
The Jews did 9/11.
So trying to subvert other countries is okay as long as free trade is not a part of it?
What's the logic in that?
"""subvert"""
It's still interventionism
but not wholesale death for the purposes of profiteering, in other words *it wouldn't go in the article*
just saying it's interventionism offers no account for levels of suffering enacted by said interventionism
oh good I'm sure the dead give a shit about your motive
in fact
Someone tell the Afghani's that the soviet union wanted only good for them!
by agreeing that they're both 'interventionism' you're tacitly admitting that capitalism can be roughly compared to communism in the scope of its death
arguable
Tell the Polish!
better than becoming a terrorist infested shithole & most dangerous country in the world I guess
I'm arguing every dominant country does interventionism
only capitalism kills with it then?
regardless of system
No the soviets do too
you've gone around in a circle
Stop trying to pretend you're making sense
And get to the argument
You've still made no account of the differing motives for intervention
"The War in Vietnam to “beat Communism” and maintain an Asian sphere of influence – 3,800,000 Vietnamese between 1955-1984 [46] about 58,000 US soldiers [47] about 200,000 in Laos [48] about 300,000 in Cambodia [49] it’s hard to calculate Agent Orange deaths but up to 4,800,000 people were exposed [50] and 100,000 US soldiers killed themselves"
The motives do not matter
"beat Communism"
Interventionism is interventionism
