@Machinimal how else do you expand?
nigeria has never practiced imperialism
why would you need to expand
you ever heard of international trade?
you just
sell product
Then what’s the thing that came before mercantilism
produce product
Communism would work if there were unlimited resources and robots to perform all of the manual labor
right
@Machinimal capitalisms main function is to penetrate and accumulate
a post-scarcity society
Stop, don't bring up basic economics
He is a commie
you need ever expanding markets
no you don't
therefore you must go abroad
Wrong
you just need to keep selling
new people are born
if energy and wealth were unlimited and we could literally fabricate anything we want, then we wouldn't even need capitalism anymore
older people die
you price things based on how much people will buy
In fact the states was doing better when it didn’t involve it’s self anywhere
food is cheap
furniture expensive
@Machinimal what kind of lala land are u in? youre saying like the people who run the world just stayed in there own backyards
how did imperialism end up working for the British Empire?
@excursion12 (redha, richtginger) it made people massively rich
Some did
of course
and nearly all of their colonies collapsed
you're really just describing a type of person and not capitalism
thats the point
the point isnt to make most people rich
some people never have enough and constantly expand
just the right seect fee
few
So, in communism everyone starves
See?
