The western e(onom1 is actually very very simple.
Colonialism is the core of what modern capitalism is.
Produce very little yourself, but if you have extractive colony you can pull resources and labor from, English parasite off India, Capitalism works.
The majority of what made western economies wealthy, post ww2, had been its ability to simply BORROW.
It's able to do this by issuing Debt, (a piece of Paper).
But because US inherited total dominion of the former European colonies, WE became the Parasite King.
Our inheritance of the Mid-east, we control the entirety of oil wealth, all of the oil sold has to be dollars and all the dollars MUST go through Western banking. They had no true sovereignty under UK/Europe, they had no sovereignty under US.
Because the Epst3e3ez class decided they'd rather have private-corporations financialize the entirety of the nation, RATHER than a strong central state, The US became divided into various fiefdoms.
This is the OPPOSITE of efficiency, but it WORKED because we could print, and simply BUY all the "Stuffs."
Ultimately, our monetary system became US prints monopoly money, Europe buys that monopoly money with their own monopoly money, Everyone else buys monopoly money with a "small portion of their own for settlement" but mostly with REAL GOODS.
As technology is transferred and re-invented naturally, in states of excess energy, it simply democratizes itself. There are choke-points on certain natural resources, but there is no true choke-point on technology.
We've reached a point where the rest of the world has decided, they don't need to buy our monopoly money anymore.
NOW we're panicked, because we don't know how to do anything for ourselves, as that wouldn't be colonialism. The only way our system could continue is if we enslaved south america and canada.
There is no other way to maintain the system as is.
Capitalism is supppppose to evolve into Socialism. If it does not, it will Stall + Destroy itself by adding successive barriers to development through rent-seeking.
They've decided at least for now, we MUST continue the only thing we've been doing for the last 80 years, Rent-Seeking.
