:: It is trough that I do not know every rich capitalist in the USA personally. It is also trough that most of them want there to grow flowers in Africa, a end to all suffering and starvation. It is all about lack of knowlege and resistens to change their way of living. Thank you. I couldn't agree more. Many have argued that it is
wrong for the U.S. to attempt to teach modern farming techniques
and capitalistic theory to underprividged countries. Do you hold
that to be the case? If you do then please tell us the better model
to use for economic development. The U.S. exercise of capitalism has
done more for its citizens than any country in history. Why are the
principles of U.S. success not going to work elswhere? Some say that
the American success happens at the expense of other nations. I disagree. I know of anecdotal accounts of this but your IMF stuff does not convince me that there is a rampant evil on the loose.
:: It is the correct gentlemens in the top level of politics who do the deliberate part of the work. Those who make sure that the upper class stay the upper class. The poor countrys has to stay poor, to protect the wealth of the USA. The USA dont want to pay for raw material.
I don't agree, of course. This statement assumes a very great
conspiracy indeed that is hidden from the common man. The main focus
of a great many people would have to be consentrated into that activity. If what you are saying is true, Americans, in general, would
have to offer their support to this travesty. I know you think they
do this Frode but I live here and I don't know anyone who would starve
an African child to have a high standard of living.
:: I am not a communist or certainly not a capitalist. There must be a system between. A system that take what is good in both systems and leave the bad. A system where the state has full control over the capitalist activities.
I know what you are looking for Frode. You won't find it on earth.
Logic should tell you that if the entire account of human history
shows no lasting system of real freedom, peace, and equality for
people, then what we should strive for is to improve the best system
to date - that is capitalism as exercised in a free democracy.
:: USA should never give loan to a government ruled by a dictator, and they should free all loan taken by a dictator.
Agree with the first part - not the second.
:: As long as USA intervein in forein affairs whith the main intension to colonise yet another nation, by giving it loan that never can be paid back. I will not be ashamed of myself, crying about terror form the United States of America.
I know a lot of Cubans who would like the U.S. to do just that. I
might be inclined to agree with the spirit of your statement unless it
is clear that the nation in question has a tendency toward democracy
yet is restrained by tyranny. I don't think in the future America will
be doing this with the sole intent to colonize. That motivation is
gone forever. It is more accurate to say America would occupy for the
purpose of supporting democracy - a noble use of military might.
