The final stage of capitalism is imperialism.
That is why the United States (US) government (US) has the world in the brink of a nuclear holocaust over wanting to make Ukraine a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to put yet another military base at Russia’s doorstep. In the race for hegemony, empires go to war against one another to increase markets and resources. Capitalism is, therefore, the farthest thing to democracy!
In 1885, the Berlin Conference was held in Germany to divide Africa into colonies among 13 European states, the US, and the Ottoman Empire. That was done amicably among the empires. Africans, of course, were not invited to the conference. Click here for more: https://www.dw.com/en/130-years-ago-carving-up-africa-in-berlin/a-18278894
The Spanish empire had colonized Puerto Rico for 405 years. In 1898, the United States (US) government (USG) decided that it wants Puerto Rico for itself. The USG militarily invaded Puerto Rico, and she has since been a US colony for the past 123 years. Why?
The US has a capitalist economy. Capitalism is to benefit the capitalists (1% of the citizens), and not the people (99%). That is why the USG has never complied with the United Nations’ (UN) Charter that prohibits colonialism, and has ignored 40 UN resolutions asking it to immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. Therefore the USG is not a democracy, nor does it respect the rule of law, nor does it defend human rights. That is all another big lie! As you can see, Trump is not the only one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otzBslJLbI0
Since we are more people than the capitalists, we could force a people’s economy. But, that must begin with learning the truth about why capitalism exists, and whom it benefits. https://todosunidosdescolonizarpr.blogspot.com/
The truth is our means to people solidarity.
