    Like I said, it wasn’t moral. It is still a result of capitalism. Think we’ve probably finished here because you’re not my teacher and you don’t assign me reading.

      It was not, it was a result of industrialization, followed by Imperialism.

      Suit yourself though.

        Colonial imperialism began with industrialization in your explanation? Capitalist countries were colonizing the world well before the industrial revolution.

          Colonialism is not the same as what I am referring to as Imperialism. I specifically mean the point at which Capitalism reaches outward and exports Capital to less developed countries to super-exploit for super-profits.
