years ago i would have rejected this outright but since then i've learned much;
At bottom, I argue that there are two kinds of people in the world: There are people who produce, create and maintain a functioning civilization. Then, there are parasites and pirates; people whose only survival trait is to pillage the wealth and resources of producer societies.
In recent articles I have explained the differences that separate the west from the third world, including the absence of the concept of “maintenance” in third world societies. In Africa, for example, there is no terminology for the idea of “maintenance”. They simply don’t have a word for it. They have words for “repair” or “replace”, but not a word for “maintain.” Learning this fact was a revelation for me.
It explains everything about the conflict between the third world and the west. It explains why third worlders are “forever chasing the white man.” It explains why these cultures never seem to progress without direct western investment, intervention or colonization. It explains why these people flood into western countries by the millions the second the gates are left open.
If you cannot maintain, then you can’t keep a system alive for future generations. From basics like water, sewer, sanitation, electricity, food, security, etc. – There can be no generational infrastructure and no generational wealth. Your tribe will be perpetually resource-poor and scratching in the dirt for bugs, UNLESS, that is, you turn to pillaging. You can steal the wealth created by producer tribes, but you can’t copy their success.
My position is, these people were ALWAYS going to turn to socialism because they are born pillagers. They are incapable of functioning in any merit based system, even one that is highly prosperous, because they are predisposed to feel as if they’re entitled to more. They are always going to be jealous of people who have more.
