US Vice President JD Vance made it clear that the West wants to keep poor Global South countries trapped at the bottom of the global value chain, through monopolistic control of advanced technologies.
See, and when we criticise the West we’re the Russian trolls apparently…I feel sorry for American women and trans people but I really don’t give a shit if the US loses its place in the world. Good. No amount of condescending USAID ‘aid’ will atone for the deaths in Chile, Iran, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Korea, Guatemala, Angola, Vietnam, Bolivia, Laos, Libya, East Timor and god knows how many other places.
There we go, speaking in collective terms. As a ‘westerner’ this is the multinationals’ doing, they’re busy golfing like them.
Sigh, every day I feel worse about living in the world
American presidents gonna America
not only him. he was just dumb enough to say it out loud.
I think that micharacterizes his evilness and intent. He’s specifically saying that free trade was supposed to be a good thing because it would allow exploitation but it’s not allowing enough exploitation for his tastes. Essentially he’s arguing against liberal economic colonialism to support fascist economic colonialism. And he doesn’t want those countries to ever gain any advantage.

I would have thought the Global South had this already figured out by now.
The Global South is far more developed in this regard and is consequently where most of the action is in the class war. They fight against comprador governments, anti-indigenous oppression, anti-worker policies with far more militancy and organization and popularity than anything in any OECD country. Of course, the people of the Global South are not politically monolithic and they also have liberals, monarchists, fascists, etc.
@exonode@lemm.ee They do I’m sure, but not so sure about the American public.
The refreshing thing about the Republicans is that they don’t do the liberal gymnastics the Democrats do, and just tell it like it is.
it looks more and more they are just doing reagan all over again expecting it to work again in different circumstances…
