It is more than a little frustrating to see all these seasoned geopolitical ‘experts’ on social media, leading their followers astray with silly catch phrases like ‘men of fighting age’ are being sent to overthrow Europe and America, only to have other individuals with thousands of followers repeat it, as if it is the most profound and enlightening statement they have ever heard in their lives. Worthy of a million views on Tik-Tok. I’d like to tell all these ‘experts’, it’s their chickens coming home to roost, but that statement itself, is incomplete, a tit for tat, that explains very little. A more detailed explanation begs for the telling.
Decrying the symptoms and remaining deliberately closed minded to the cause, will get you nowhere. It’s the equivalent of opening the novel, Moby Dick (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) on the last page and insisting on reading only the final full stop at the end of the entire story. Then, going on to lament about it ruining the preceding 624 pages, of which you know absolutely nothing about.
Displaying anger at the full stop for arriving to occupy that particular area on page 625, when clearly you believe it is a blemish, on what could have been a nice white area of page, and has no right to be there, is very daft indeed. This is how you sound, when you make ridiculous assumptions about ‘military aged men’, suddenly landing on your shores and flooding your borders, as if it happens in a vacuum. It doesn't. Your ignorance of the global system that brought them to your shores, is the reason.
If you want to be an expert in deciphering the world around you, then you must be humble enough to study how the current world you are living in, has been constructed. Its very foundation, core and structure, including the reason, it perpetually produces the horrible geopolitical events, you attempt to superficially explain. You’re hoping things will get better, possibly with a little divine intervention or your latest flavour of the month political candidate. They won’t! But, looking behind the curtain and seeing our global system for what it is. Confronting and examining it, in all its magnificent and evil glory, will surely both anger and enlighten you to such an extent, that I believe you may just be motivated enough to want to change this system completely. Throw it to the curb, for the incinerator and never to be recycled. Dependency Theory is one way of explaining this system. So, what is it? What exactly is, Dependency Theory? I’m excited to tell you …
Reference diagram for Dependency Theory:
Your world analysed through the lens of Dependency Theory
Dependency Theory (DT) is an almost forgotten (or deliberately buried) theory, but it is due for a very big comeback. DT emerged in the 1960’s out of Central and South America as part of a larger group of political theories, such as Historical Structural Theory and Neo Marxist (ooh, I said the M word) Theory, among others. Dependency Theorists (DTs) were asking the legitimate question, Why was the rest of the world not developing to the same extent as first world countries? The standard gas lighting answers to these questions, were and still are, well these are authoritarian countries, that don’t pursue the correct economic policies in line with the IMF, World Bank and the as yet undefined, ‘international rules based order’.
But dependency theorists dismiss those worn out tropes parroted by the somnambulist middle class (wanna be upper class) and argue that the rest of the world is not developing, because the international system is set up in such a way, that prevents them from getting ahead. That the current system is exploitative and ensures the dominance of some countries over others. You’re nodding your head now, saying to yourself, yeah, I know this. You don’t really, it’s a lot more complex than a superficial glance would suggest. A much deeper analysis is required for you to finally understand just how badly you are being shafted. I’m talking about a second by second inter generational rape and pillage of epic proportions. The noose is slowly tightening around your neck, without you noticing. So, what is the case that DT puts forward? Let’s have a look and you can be the judge.
According to DT, there are four different types of countries in the world, set up to perform various functions within the world economy. First of all, you have the wealthiest countries that are in the center of the center (CC) such as the USA, France and the UK. Next you have the Peripheral Center (PC), which are modern and industrialised, such as Japan, Germany and Canada, but which hold slightly less political power than the CC countries. They are still very wealthy in their own right. Next in the pecking order comes the countries that are at the center of the peripheral (CP), they are still developing, but have a fair amount of wealth. You can categorise these countries as those comprising the BRICS nations such as Brazil, India and South Africa. Lastly, you have the countries on the periphery of the periphery (PP). These are the poorest countries on the planet, such as El Salvador, Cambodia and Afghanistan, with plenty of labour and resources but very little development.
It is important to note, that the latter two categories are seen by the former two, as being overpopulated. They are not overpopulated, unless you mean to say, too overpopulated for our current economic paradigm. In other words, if you want to overlook the earth’s natural carrying capacity, in favour of the money god of Wall Street, Harvard taught, Keynesian ‘trickle down’ economics and outdated Malthusian over population theory.
DTs put it to you, that there is an international division of labour between all of these countries. Their argument is that the CC countries dominate in terms of industry and technology. They are the countries that possess all the research, development and capital intensive industries. The countries on their periphery, are characterised by resource extraction, agricultural production and the provision of unskilled cheap labour to very skilled cheap labour.
As a result, the structure of the world economy is one in which the PC, serve the interests of the CC. The CP countries, serve the economic interests of both the CC and PC countries. Lastly, the PP countries serve the economic interests of everybody else. What we have is a classic case of all avenues leading back to Rome, as the peripheral countries serve the economic interests (not necessarily the needs) of the CC countries. Not too bad, you might say but the nightmare doesn’t end here.
Within this set up, there is also a class distinction. what that means essentially, is that inside each of these different countries, there is a clear divide between the rich and the poor. There is a clear divide between the wealthy minority, let’s call them CC people and the working class majority, PP people. Citizens of the same country, but who don’t have the same access to housing, education, medical care and travel. CC people who own more than one property and can purchase goods without resorting to vast amounts of borrowing, compared to PP people who don’t own property or are servicing a bond and need to pay interest back to finance various needs and wants. Right now in South Africa, 40% of adults are borrowing money from the banks, just to buy food.
Ever wondered why you’re stuck at home or worse yet, sitting in a pub with strangers, watching the world cup, because you can’t afford satellite TV? Even though, the stadiums are fully booked and spilling over with citizens from your own country? There's even people, from countries much poorer than yours, in attendance. How do they manage to make all these fine occasions? They are CC people. Usually from inter generational wealth, politically connected, banking institutions, private clients of elite banking institutions or multinational corporations, that hold monopolies on global markets. I’m not talking about the real fan, who saves up his entire life to see a world cup match, but the people who care less about the game, and more about the Instagram post. They sing your anthem and wave your flag, but you will never mix with them on a social level. How many people do you know, who've never watched a soccer match in their lives, but were at the opening match of the 2010 world cup in South Africa, as well as the final?
CC people have the finances to live in any country, within communities where other CC people reside. Therefore, they live almost completely free from any political or geographical turmoil, that could arise where they currently make a home. Safety is always an airplane ticket away. This is very important, to keep in mind, as I will use a South African example later.
You may be lucky enough to serve CC people drinks, mend their suits or do their manicures. You are only kinsmen by the fabricated bond of nationalism, custom and religion, wrapped neatly in an accent and a flag. This has been drummed into you from an early age. You will not see them as a clear and obvious enemy. They pay your salary and lend you money. You probably aspire to be just like them. However, your lifestyle is on bank credit, while theirs is not. It’s easier to see dark skinned foreigners coming across your border as your enemy, than the people who look exactly like you, possibly even share your sense of humour, but who exploit you daily.
Poor immigrants, competing for your jobs, are a much easier target for you. You are trained to punch sideways, not up at the CC people who, it must be said, are mostly completely unaware themselves, that they help to create and perpetuate the immigrant crisis (one tiny symptom of our current geopolitical paradigm), and keep you close to poverty.
In South Africa, whenever there is a xenophobic outbreak, the mob will loot and burn down poor immigrant families’ spaza shops and cause them physical harm. Ruining their lives in a single act. But I’ve never seen the mob turn on an exploitative foreign company such as a KFC, Ernst & Young or Barclays Bank, that keeps them overweight, in serious debt, exploits cheap labour and funnels their money overseas.
Don’t get me wrong, CC people are not inherently evil, they are unconsciously gaming the system and benefitting from inter generation wealth. Blinded by hubris and privilege that naturally makes them feel more sophisticated and more well bred than you. They truly see themselves, as the privately schooled, honest and intellectual lifeblood of the nation. The kind of person who asks you to be quiet, so they can hear the daily exchange rate over the radio, just before their next overseas shopping spree.
Obedience and subordination, are necessary parts of maintaining the system, DTs describe. Below is an example of a journalist, who's oblivious to how he's been perfectly conditioned since birth, by the CC people inside his own country, to tow their line. The model BBC candidate and ‘upstanding’ citizen. Interestingly, Noam Chomsky was kept out of the legacy media for about 20 years after this interview. The system can't risk anyone having an awakening … Especially you.
CC people always complain about first world problems. What stocks should I invest in? Black Rock or Raytheon and Northrop Grumman? Will it be Mauritius or Maldives this summer? Oh the agony. They know the best restaurants to dine at, the latest trends and exactly what economic policy their country should be pursuing in order to please foreign investors and the IMF. The GDP is more important to them than the HDI (If you need to look it up, shame on you). In their minds, Western countries are good and democratic, with a healthy track record on human rights. This is a complete fabrication, but they vehemently believe it.
CC people have an inbred contempt for unions and socialists, even though they are incapable of providing a rational explanation for this. If these CC people don’t already have a home in the US, UK or France, then it’s the equivalent of one of those three Western states (usually a ‘five eyes’ country). It’s the news and entertainment the CC class consume too. You’ll never see them stray much further than CNN, BBC, The Washington Post and The New York Times, for their news. That would be heretical. It makes them feel dirty and a little icky to hear an opinion that falls outside of the establishment legacy media. They have been indoctrinated into a binary world view of good and evil e.g. America = good, China = bad. Religious zealot in an F-35 = good, the people defending themselves from the F-35, with an RPG = bad.
CC people are probably unaware of how PP people, servicing interest on loans, keeps them in a comfortable upper class. The debt on PP loans, is used in a system called shadow banking, whereby their debt ledger is sold on to third parties without their knowledge. Banks trade risk on that debt by how likely PP people are to pay the debt back. CC people benefit from you being a low or high risk debtor. Your good repayment behaviour, is their monetary gain on the stock exchange and your bad repayment behaviour is ultimately their material gain. Home loans were seen as very reliable until the 2008 housing bubble, to use one example. The wealthy collect cheap assets, when the poor default on their loans. The Great Depression, wasn't depressing for the wealthy, unless a homeless PP person, rubbed up against them, god forbid.
CC people have shares in stocks with money they don’t need, to increase their already vast wealth. Sometimes, they lose a little on paper, but you lose your physical home, maybe even your life when the stock market crashes.
When times are tough and PP people lose their jobs, CC people are buying up cheap assets at below market value. CC people pay the least in banking fees and get the most banking rewards. This is because you pay higher interest on your debt to the same banking institutions, allowing the bank to afford a small CC elite, those luxury perks and rewards for holding large amounts of CC assets. In many cases, money is just laundered through these banks, investments and family trusts with, legal tax loopholes. This was the case with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted pedophile, serial sex offender and alleged Mossad blackmail agent and his bank, HSBC Private Bank (Suisse).
The more false or unnecessary markets CC people create, the less they have to work. For example, Golden Wildebeest, NFTs, Fake wars and Carbon Credits, creating one kind of fake ‘Tulip mania’ after another. The elite CC people invest at the top, but ultimately, it is just another Ponzi Scheme and the CC people are the first to be paid out. You don’t seem to notice or care. Perhaps Netflix is too good a distraction? No coincidence of course, that Netflix was co-founded by Marc Bernays Randolph, whose great uncle, Edward Bernays, goes down in history as the ‘father of propaganda’. The infamous Joseph Goebbels himself, modelled his propaganda after Bernays and considered him a mentor.
But, of course you already knew this. Just another example of intergenerational wealth, privilege and global influence, carrying through to the 21st Century. This is why many Netflix documentaries on horrible CC criminals, like Jeffrey Epstein, are limited hangouts and will always be framed in a way that detracts from their larger crimes, such as Epstein's close personal relationship with former, Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak and his links to military intelligence.
I have numerous examples, but I don't want to bore you. I'm quite sure you can see when you're being played for a fool, through the 1984 media messaging, right?
Below, Julian Assange, currently incarcerated by the CC elites in Belmarsh prison (I know you've been just as concerned, with sleepless nights and campaigning for his freedom as I have for the past decade), explains how CC people launder money through fake wars on terror:
DTs argue, that this minority of political and economic elites in each of the countries, all coordinate and cooperate with one another, the top 1% so to speak, in order to keep increasing their own private wealth and in order to hold onto the reigns of power. This is why you’ll find so many of them in politics or sponsoring politicians. They collaborate to maintain the system the way it is. Still not bad enough for you? Fear not, there’s more…
All of these distinctions, from the international division of labour, to the class distinctions, including the actual countries of the world, all co-exist within a wider global system, and this global system is defined as global capitalism, or what has become known today as Globalism. What does that mean? It means that Liberal Economic Theory dominates. Theories of trade and finance, which naturally serve the core countries, but more specifically, serve a minority of elites within all the countries. You see? It doesn’t matter whether your country is communist, socialist or capitalist, the top 1% percent are living like kings regardless of the political brand name. Those labels do not apply to CC people. They are for you, the serfs, to squabble over.
In this larger system (human made), banks, multinational corporations and the media, are instruments, to put it politely or rather, best described as weapons, utilised by the rich in the CC and PC countries, to maintain the status quo. These weapons are institutions such as the IMF, World Bank and WHO. They are backed up by military thugs like NATO. They exist to serve the richest countries and the richest people on the planet. This also includes education systems, religious institutions, pharmaceutical companies, weapons manufacturers, NGOs and their propaganda wing, the legacy media.
The legacy media will pump a singular narrative, that always serendipitously aligns with the political philosophy of the CC elites and their products, services and control of natural resources. The legacy media also serves their military objectives, when they need to invade weaker nations for their resources or keep PP countries in a state of chaos, so they cannot compete economically or militarily. Deliberately, turning them into failed states.
With an obvious aspirational appeal to the elites’ sets of values and norms, instilled in you by their educational facilities and pop culture e.g. movies, fashion and celebrities, you will ‘naturally’ gravitate towards this narrative. You’ll even defend it vigorously, tooth and nail. Did you follow the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, which had actual bearing on your life or did you watch the distraction trial of Johnny Depp, which had zero bearing on your life? The system is designed to shepherd you from cradle to grave, with the promise of a remote possibility of achieving super wealth and becoming one of the elites one day too. A seat at the table, to coin a phrase.
CC central banks are designed to funnel wealth out of poor countries, literally by creating FIAT (faith based) currency, in exchange for actual PP resources and labour. These FIAT currencies are constructed out of thin air and ‘valued’ by the central banks. PP countries are encouraged to store their FIAT money in the banks of the CC countries. This is in order to control ‘belligerent’ countries who don’t want to play ball. CC countries can just freeze PP countries’ bank accounts when they throw a tantrum and refuse to cooperate with Globalist hegemony. It's always some ‘tyrant’ outside of the West, having their bank accounts frozen. We never saw Tony Blair or George Bush junior's bank accounts frozen, for launching an illegal war against Iraq. However Qaddafi quickly had all his funds frozen, when he fell out of favour with the CC elites. Some of whom, ironically had personal debts with Qaddafi.
I’ll give you a real world example of CC FIAT currency control: France secretly owns 14 African countries. It uses the CFA Franc system to control the sovereignty of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Togo and Central African Republic.
France has created the banking system that these PP countries live and die under. Their bank notes may look different, but they are part of the same scheme that bleeds them dry, as France extracts their resources at rock bottom prices and sells them back to the PP countries, at above market prices. The currencies are pegged to the Euro, at a rate determined by the French treasury. So France, a CC country, controls the lives of 200 million people, with a made up monetary system, in which all the money is FIAT and 70% of it is stored in French banks, on French soil. Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali are trying to rebel against this, kicking out French troops, with the southwest Pacific island state of New Caledonia, the latest to rebel against CC exploitation, as I pen this. We'll see how well it goes for them. History has shown, France or any other CC country, does not tolerate slave rebellions.
PP countries hand over valuable resources, the most precious being, their children, as they seek an education and a better life. PP countries service interest on loans for equipment and infrastructure, that’s used to extract PP resources. All with an invented currency, the value of which the CC central banks decide. The top CC people inside these PP countries are the facilitators, who help maintain the economic hoax in order to enrich themselves. It doesn't matter if the country can't afford to tar the roads, because those CC people in PP countries, are driving their luxury cars around CC countries, that do have tarred roads. They're in CC countries for the holidays, CC hospitals for their surgeries, and their children are schooling and holidaying in CC countries.
If you think about it logically, the CC system, could not function, without a strangle hold on religious and educational institutions. You leave your children up to 12 hours a day, in the hands of these institutions. Most of the time, they have far more influence over your children, than you ever could. They take pride in modelling their institutions, after the finest in CC countries. ‘Hello, hello there's a price to pay to the Eton rifles, the Eton rifles’ … ?
When your inculcated children are outside of these CC sponsored institutions, they have one of their books in their tiny hands, to cement the relationship. To help them understand the ‘international rules based order’ of things and their future place in the system. One day your child may be lucky enough to manage the assets of a CC individual, as their accountant, private banker or lawyer. If they haven't already been born one, they might win the lottery and become a CC person. If they work hard enough and never question the system. Future teachers for the system are in high demand too. ‘All in all, you're just another brick in the wall’ … ?
DTs have a valid claim that the international system is rigged in the favour of the CC countries and the 1% of CC people, that occupy the top spot in each country. The system does not promote development or equal opportunity. Instead, it promotes dominance and exploitation, by an elite few.
DTs argue that the system is designed to prevent PP countries from developing, and they call this underdevelopment. Because PP people and countries are kept outside the elite circle, they don't see any of the development, that traditional economic theory describes.
In his book, ‘GIANTS, the global power elite’, professor Peter Phillips takes a detailed look at the 389 (you read correctly) most powerful people in world capitalism. They all network with each other, investing in businesses together and buying each others shares. Basically, all the major capital flows between their hands. It's well worth the read.
I would like to focus on one example of a CC person in South Africa. I'm sure you can think of more than a few yourself. You may even be one. But let me highlight a fellow South African by the name of Rob Hersov.
It's my good fortune, that I will never get to rub shoulders with this man. Hersov is the quintessential CC person. Born into extreme wealth, his family having founded the Anglo Vaal mining group in 1933, Hersov has worked for Goldman Sachs in New York, Morgan Stanley in London and Rupert Murdoch in New York. So basically, all the finest and most moral institutions you can think of. Hersov's personal wealth is estimated at 1 billion U.S. dollars. He's lived outside of South Africa for over 30 years, but he's back just in time to save us all, with libertarian capitalism and Harvard trickle down economics. Hersov, has fashioned himself as a political activist and genuinely believes he's a good person. Maybe so, but he tows the CC line like a good soldier.
Hersov made the news here, when he wanted to privatise a number of our airports and called out the ANC for their corruption and mismanagement of public enterprises. Hersov is a product of Western indoctrination, with that natural distrust of China and Russia drummed into his head, I mentioned earlier. He wants our country's assets in the hands of private capital and is pro U.S. and U.K. imperialism. He wants us to do business with the genocidal state of Israel, even though it's currently sitting in the Hague on genocide charges. That doesn't seem to bother his conscience one iota.
I was a teenager when Rupert Murdoch privatised my television and took my rugby away from me. But Hersov can, through the power of CC capitalism, watch all the fixtures on any of his televisions. Not only that, he can attend all the matches, anywhere in the world and sit in a private box. He has a South African accent, is apparently Christian, wears a Springbok shirt and sings our anthem. But he is a CC Globalist. He holds more than one passport and can cause as much trouble as he likes in South Africa, including inciting racial and class division, because he can run for the hills, whenever it suits him. Back to New York, London or Switzerland. He especially likes to call everyone who doesn't think like him, stupid. Mainly black people and socialist friends. They're guilty of wrong think.
Hersov says communism and socialism has failed, but is blind to the fact that capitalism has also failed multiple times. Just go outside your home and walk to the first traffic light. You will witness the failure of capitalism in real time. But CC capitalism, keeps reinventing itself with one Ponzi scheme after the next e.g. austerity measures, quantitative easing, bank bailouts, bank bail-ins, futures trading and carbon credits. But cultists, can never see they're in a cult. It's virtually impossible. Besides, as I mentioned already, it's not about the type of political system, it's about the ruling CC globalist class in each of these ideologies. The internationalists, you see sharing a cigar and a whisky together on TV, while we peasants duke it out over whatever the legacy media decided to distract us with. Immigrants, pandemics or wars … fear porn.
Hersov flits between Sandton, Constantia and Hermanus, talking to all his wealthy boomer sycophants. All, who harken back to the golden apartheid age of the 60’s and 70’s. The only thing bigger than Hersov’s bank account, is his ego. To see Alec Hogg, from Biz News, fawning all over him without any pushback as a journalist, is nauseating. This is a good example of how people gravitate towards the billionaire class, because wealth, even when inherited, is more revered than intelligence and free thinking.
Below is an excerpt from a Biz News shindig, in which Hersov preaches to a tiny audience of wealthy baby boomers sitting in their CC echo chamber … I have to laugh when the examples of failed economies he uses, are currently under heavy sanctions by powerful CC countries, deliberately making sure their economies don’t work.
Conclusion
DTs have a lot to tell you about why the rest of the world is unable to develop and how the economic system is rigged in the favour of a few CC countries and elites. These people may look like you and act like you, but definitely are not you. The world is their playground and you are their serfs. Because of their chameleon nature, cloaked in tradition, language, religion and nationhood, you mistake them for one of you.
They collaborate with each other, in order to maintain their wealth. They own and control the resources, banks, schools, religious institutions, celebrities and the legacy media. All the latest trends, innovations and political leaders are introduced from their controlled platforms.
PP countries, that try to free themselves from this system are usually brought under control, through the CC financial system, sanctioning them. Failing that, these ‘rogue’ PP countries, are brought to heel by the CC war machine and wealthy CC collaborators, within the invaded PP countries (think of who you know, that would welcome an American intervention inside your own country).
You and your children are unwittingly cultivated, inculcated and filtered, to serve the above mentioned CC institutions. This global capitalist system is all encompassing under globalism and cleverly marketed as aspirational and benevolent, when it's actually corrupting and exploitative.
It's a successful system, that mostly polices itself, but certainly not an efficient and equitable system. In fact, it's an unsustainable system, that continually needs to be bailed out in favour of CC countries and the CC elite. The house always wins, through austerity, quantitative easing, bailouts and bail-ins (all just socialism for capitalism). This goes unnoticed by the proletariat.
Because the system DT describes, is able to hide in plain sight, with you revering the billionaire class and placing them on a pedestal, it can sustain its dominance and exploitation indefinitely. Instead of identifying the enemy, you embrace, love and vigorously defend it, while it eats you and your children alive, by promoting underdevelopment. Over time, more wealth and resources are transferred out of your hands and into the hands of a tiny elite that you look up to admiringly.
You never lash out at them. You never will. Instead you'll lash out, at the people you ironically have the most in common with. The people in your own class division - immigrants!
*Addendum:
Here, I'd like to give you a working definition of the term, economy. Economy, basically comes from the Greek, ‘to keep house’. All human beings have needs and wants. The CC economy is only interested in you, if you have the ability to either borrow money to purchase, or you have the money available to purchase, at least one of those needs and wants. If you have no borrowing or purchasing power, then you are not considered part of the economy. You are out in the cold. A useless oxygen thief, according to the CC elites.
Instead of working to ration the earth's resources, with a more equitable economic system, that caters to all humans, such as the original word for economy suggests, CC economic elites, are more interested in the survival of those, who can sustain borrowing and buying power, in order to purchase their products and services. The CC economy (not the earth's population), is out of sync with the earth's carrying capacity.
This means more people falling into poverty every day and more young people, becoming soldiers to protect CC assets. It also means more PP prostitutes in some form or another, for the CC elites to abuse. Just in order to try and survive, in their CC manufactured economy.
Inevitably, class conflict will always arise (cleverly disguised as other things by CC propaganda) and the economic paradigm you live in will keep course correcting. You'll see boom bust cycles and massive population reducing wars whenever it hits a hard wall. This helps to keep the purchasing population small enough, to stay inside the limits of the ever shrinking CC economy. It's real life monopoly, until the ultimate victors, sit on a baron, war torn earth. A king Midas, with a vault full of gold and nothing left to buy or live for. A planet destroyed by a fake economy of greed, superimposed upon the actual, natural world.

Another great article, definitely worth the read. A quick side note before I continue with my comment - BBC? Leftist? Does he have any more funny jokes to tell?
They want us to suffer, so that they get rich. Most people - as stated - just think that they want us only poor for a bit, but no. The truth is they want us to be poor forever, because it keeps them rich. Have you ever wondered why countries like South Africa, Brasil and India aren't CC? Because we are necessary to insure that those CC countries continue.
Calling things like Harvard and BBC socialist is such a joke, merely just because they think people should express their gender. Any teacher or news anchor that actually expresses socialist views are gone, effective immediately.
They might appear "woke" or "socialist" because they think that people might want a piece of self-expression but in reality those institutes want more war and more suffering for their money.
The CCP is a capitalist society, and so was the USSR. They called themselves communist because that's what they wanted to be, but they were(and are) still dictatorial hyper-capitalist countries.
They live.
We sleep.
