We are going to get through very dark times
@Mr. X"fortunate"
Trying to figure out what you guys are talking about but I can’t figure it out
Communism?
Nope
Of course the west is fortunate. Especially compared to the east.
@Mr. X they get that fortune from exploiting economies that are underveloped
There will always be poor people though
Debatable on “fortunate”
Workforce and resources
And so on
Not really no, the majority of my grandfather's gold went to Ghana since he mined there.
@Mr. X of course look at what the west did to the east and with us
@Mr. X went to which company in ghana?
And they payed colonial taxes
He mined it there sure
But which country owned it?
Ghana I think
Which was a colony right?
He owned two companies I think.
Ghana was not a colony?
Are you sure?
Oh I thought you meant his company
They colonies had to pay taxes to their respective overlords
The*
this wasnt during colony control though
It was under neocolonial
Where colonialism takes a subtle form
Only erupting in military intervention in some occasions
Like in the 60's here
Or at Iraq in the 2000's
No, they benefitted from capital the most due to their gold.
@Mr. X they don't benefited from it
They depend on it
They did of course
Even got some wells because of it
They are reliant on selling it to sustain the economy
While amassing a huge debt
from my grandfather paying some aswell as paying some to ghana's government
Because the bilateral trades are much heavier to them
