Yeah, i see how governments can do a Faustian bargain where they allow foreign capital to colonize their country. Sounds great on paper, you got 2 million peasants who suffer, let their foreign money create jobs. But then suddenly you have 2 million factory workers who own nothing they produce. You can't put the genie back in the bottle so that those people instead own those businesses without going to war. Instead, if you take your time, and don't employ foreign capital (debt doesnt count tho), you can instead grow your business owning class. I think its better that they "oppress" themselves, rather than be oppressed by foreign powers. it aint colonial capital oppression if its Columbian on Columbian. Do I know what I'm talking about? probably not. But i do feel that I'm growing wiser.

How has V3 helped you understand political theory?

Edit: That feel when PB when you think youre Capitalist
