Also, fuck France; not for being cowardly or anything else the British roast them for, but for being ruthless imperialists

    Of course the shit that works would be controversial; it costs something. The neoliberal world order would never do the most important thing to help developing nations: hold back their own capitalists. They aren’t even willing to redistribute wealth or regulate business within their own country, let alone to people abroad.

    It’ll never happen so long as oligarchs call all the shots, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible and that doesn’t mean it’s a solution we shouldn’t even consider. Something being difficult doesn’t make it less right. Afterall, easy measures were never gonna cut it.

      Western capitalists are holding back in Africa for fear of costly outrage though. And not just capitalists are at fault here, but every self interested party. Neoliberalism isnt everywhere, at least not in the same sense. Compare Denmark, swiss, Norway and USA. They clearly use different systems of economics and governance.
