If Colonialism and slavery never happened, wouldn't western countries be much poorer due to never being able to exploit the wealth of other nations? And due to that, wouldn't scientific development significantly be cut away, as resource surplus is needed to produce scientists and philosophers?

So say it never happened, does that mean Africa is now like slightly more wealthy, but at the cost of basically making western nations have 1/50th their current wealth?

>>127338322
that's such a stupid question, but I know you're aware of that. If "Colonialism" never happened than it's irrelevant to consider whether Europe would be wealthier or poorer as it would be so totally different it wouldn't be comparable

Almost the entirely of western wealth / growth is attributable to the individual revolution and market capitalism. Slavery was actually getting in the way of economic developer as it prevented a proper labor market from forming. The net beneficiaries of colonialism were the colonies. Without colonialism, Africa still would not have the limited infrastructure that exists now, medical care, etc.

that still doesn't make any sense. Are you writing some sort of shitty essay on this for a summer class? My point is that colonialism was the beginning of joint-venture capitalism, and ran on speculation. It was inevitable owing to the wealth, manpower, and technology of Europe in the early modern era. One can't clearly separate ILL GOTTEN COLONIAL WEALTH and DOMESTICALLY PRODUCED EUROPEAN wealth as a Europe where colonialism and speculation weren't occurring would be a Europe that was poor and technologically inferior in the first place

that doesn't make any sense, we're talking about economics not some liberal dogmatic twaddle. What is "stolen" wealth? What do you think Europe was pursuing? Commodities, primarily spices and exotic goods. The early to mid colonial period saw production of foodstuffs and raw resources overseas that couldn't be produced in most European climates; tea, coffee, sugar, cotton, etc. This isn't "stolen" wealth, as the Caribbean islands, for example, were non-productive by any definition of production of surplus. The labor acquired through the slave trade was through trade, it was arguably mutually beneficial to West African and Arab traders, the ship owners, and the slave traders.

Late colonialism sees an explosion in overseas exploitation of resources such as metal, wood, fuels, almost all of which is capable only through Western investment, speculation, and involvement. It wouldn't have happened otherwise, so how is it "stolen"?

I can't answer that question but he meant the urban middle class, by bourgeois. Burgher, Burger, citizen, Burg dweller, etc. "Colonialism" happened because of them for the most part, it was a continuation of late Medieval, Renaissance economic and speculator trends. Colonialism is really not that different than the spread of the Hanseatic League in the North and Baltic seas, basically just with better shipping technology

My critique is if it weren't for the speculation and pursuit of future earnings that is inherent to capitalism that most innovations wouldn't spread. They MAY be discovered and utilized but the widespread adoption for competitive reasons is a hallmark of capitalism. If that poster is postulating a different wealthy class, a non-"capitalist" one I can only imagine it would be the Medieval landed nobility that takes its profits through rent and sharecropping; only engaging in little trade, and that trade being possible only through the existence of cities, both natural and ecclesiastical

I'm not disputing that; that much is quite obvious. But if not for the capitalists who do you see investing into new technologies and production methods? The state? individual nobles? That too would require resource surpluses that would imply similar economic conditions to that of the late Medieval to early modern period. Cities, advanced manufacturing, credit, etc.

It's a mixed bag for India in my opinion; We had muzzie rulers in the Moughals and the subcontinent was perpetually divided along communal lines; Although there is reason to believe that Moughal were a declining empire anyway and the Hindu's were taking control; The Birtish did act as a catalyst. Also, The transfer of western technology obviously had it's upsides although this process could have easily been peaceful and mutually beneficial instead of hyper expolitataive. It is not an exgaeration to say that the medieval era Indian industry was systematically destroyed because of colonial policies. In the end, I still not sure if India was better or worse off; primarily because history is not over yet; The west did harm itself in the process by loosing it's sense of Christian morality and forcing glottalization upon itself.

Once, long ago there was a time
in what now seems a distant land
Each small boutique was precious and unique
'Cause every little thing was made by hand
Then there came a revolution
The progress of production was its aim
Now instead of one, there were many
And each costs just a penny
But every single one looks just the same

Jewish Passports-El Salvador

While Jews were trying to escape exile in The Axis powers,Colonel Jose Castellanos Contreras saved up to 40,000 Jews by providing them with Salvadoran passports which could be used as a form of Political Asylum.This was however very quiet and unrecognized part of El Salvador for World War 2.

I would rather take more of your shit to be honest just because of your attitude I would rain death from the skies upon you for your sleight and don't think I can't I am trying to help you fucko by explaining very carefully why they will not relinquish control of it without semantics

So if you want to go ahead and try and trick me you can expect I will return the favour.

In what part did I tried to trick you?

They stole people's belongings and now they display them in their museums making money out of things they stole.

The usual argument it's boo hoo spoilers of war we won suck on it, but that's not true we won they lose, they just were niggers about it, stole them when we weren't looking and display them like they do all the rest of the jewelry for the continent.

That's really not how "wealth" works. The progressive argument basically assumes that "wealth" is some fixed natural resource that sits buried in the Earth until it gets dug up and put in a bank. In other words, they think wealth means gold bars, diamonds, oil, etc.

A nation's wealth is much more a function of its population and that population's ability to provide itself with necessities. The "wealth" of Europe was in its factories, its farms, its infrastructure, etc. These things were not stolen from Africa - actually the opposite: Europeans built factories, farms, and infrastructure everywhere they went.

Western nations didn't gain wealth from colonising those shithole countries. They did it to bring civilisation to the rest of the world (white man burden). They did actually take money from the mainland to pay for their colonies.

bullshit. mainly europeans caused chaos in the colonized countries. they interrupted politcal and cultural processes. colonization often caused war and cultural adaption. after the exploitation the technological advance was often forfeited.

You'll have to return civilisation then and go back to your mud hut and dying at 35 from drinking tainted water.

It's pointless to consider, because the tribes that lived prior to European colonialism didn't make use of their raw materials/resources.

The Congo Jungle, with its trillions of dollars of resources, even nowadays, never saw any value until it was colonized. It's the fault of the tribes for missing the opportunity.

To those intellectually-stunted faggots who state that colonialism is the cause for Africa's problems and that Africa is a shithole because of it: why isn't Ireland a shithole? It was exploited for centuries longer than most African nations were. Think of Haiti (not African, but nigger): it became independent from Europe during the Napoleonic Era, yet is still a shithole after becoming extremely poor following the revolt. Now think of Ireland, which only became independent almost a hundred years ago following a brutal famine during which it lost more than half of its population as well as constant raping of its resources. Why is it leagues ahead of Haiti when it had much more time than Haiti to recover and probably received much worse treatment than Haiti did. Is it because of the average IQ of Ireland compared to that of Haiti? Nah!
What about Ethiopia? It experienced the least colonialism out of any African country, I would say, yet is a shithole too. Why is that? Because it got INVADED by Italy? Why isn't Poland as shit as Haiti as that was invaded by Germany? Or the Netherlands? Or France? Is it because the latter nations have a higher average IQ than Ethiopia and have, therefore, historically been more successful? Nah! It's because whitey ain't paying up his debts. Fucking cumskins building roads 'n hospitals 'n shieet.

Finland as well, it was colonized by Swedes and Russians, practically enslaved by both, for that matter, for over 6 centuries, almost back to back, far longer than the colonization of Africa.
Yet, Finland is definitely seen as a more successful country compared to any African nation in contemporary times.

>>127356635
>'we'
Whatever accomplishments past tribes have done in Chile have unfortunately been wiped out, not just through colonialism, but through intermingling of the Europeans and the tribes of the past. The majority of people living in South America are mostly Mestizo and have little in common with said tribes of the past. You wouldn't call a Mexican an Aztec, or an Olmec, or the western end of South America an Incan. They are but relics of the past now.

"Stolen wealth"
"Exploit other counties wealth"

I can't understand people's thoughts that countries fighting in the past and a victor emerging is "bad".
Europe smacked others shit and won. They enjoyed the spoils. Nothing wrong with that at all.

To answer your question, Africa wouldn't be more wealthy hell they would probably be even poorer, due to Euros not spreading their tech to them.

Western nations might be a little poorer than today, but not down to 1/50th.

Colonialism, however, is going to happen one way or another. The Romans did it, Greeks did it, Euros did it, China's doing it to Africa right now, and when the Lizard aliens finally show themselves yo bet we are going to be colonized.

I said majority. There are still natives, of course, just as there are still Native American tribes in the Americas, but they will never return to their 'glory days' of the past. My point still stands, that they are just relics of a time before colonialism. The most that can be done is preserve the culture.

This.

Darwin stated the African has had the entirety of its existence to conquer Africa, to exploit its immense treasures. They never truly knew what they had until the Europeans showed up and made actual use of the other dormant resources of Africa. It was not wealth when the Africans had it, just mundane Earth and mineral and uselessness. It was only wealth in the hands of the Europeans, who could refine those materials and use them.

Also, we caused every problem on the planet? We fought and killed each other in Europe for centuries, and then we expanded to America where we slaughtered the natives in immense century long wars, but to think that we're the cause of every problem in today's society is ridiculous. Yes, we have some responsibility to the ME because of our actions there to subvert governments. Is that action to flood Europe with millions of refugees, many of which are simply economic migrants from North Africa? Fucking no. We have a responsibility to stop bombing the fuck out of their populations, and if necessary, help them in their own countries. Flooding the West with a fuck ton of people who don't assimilate while continuing the issues plaguing the region won't fix shit. It will only make the ME and Europe uninhabitable for the long term. We get it, you feel bad and want to help. Mass migration isn't the way to do it.
