Yes we sure have, but our days could be over soon. We lose power economically big time now, there a few ways we can stay at the top, but it won't be easy.

but I think one advantage and disadvanatage of European way is the concept of the Earth being there for your exploitation, andsuperiority as a given thing
so yes, you do all you can to come out on top and be the most powerful, but they way you do it is by consuming resources and expanding and subjugating... sorta like capitalism in a way
and in the long run you'll burn yourself out and the survivors of the white-expansion will be able to rise up again...

not being racist, but European thinking in general is like this...
not much in the sense of balance, or thriving in seeming stagnation... etc.

westernized thinking, capitalism, the need to for more and more exploitation, markets, and land will end up destroying the Earth
cancer is when a cell grows rebellious, and allocates resources to itself from the body and instead of being in-balance and eventually dying off it keeps growing exponentially by wreaking havoc on its host...
we are being cancer, we are trying to suck Earth dry...

and thats what I hate...


if we can find a balance that would be ideal but I doubt any large scale environmental and convervationalist action will take place for some time... until the evil we do to Earth becomes tangible and clear to everybody

that's all our overused capatalism. Capatalism itself isn't that bad, but we overused it.

ummm
which is WHY it is bad

capitalism in itself tempts its overruse though... since it needs more markets, that implies many things that can be done...
and to make the most profit out of capitalism, which is what people try to do... you gotta use it to its fullest extent which will destroy us...

like look at Africa... look at how bad it destabilized Africa after the white people left and had forced whole colonies to make only cotton, or mine for ore, or whatever... large scale famine and death is what happened...


but point is, its near impossible as far as I can see for capitalism not to drift in the bad direction, which is most profitable within ones lifetime

Capatalism can work, btw the definition of capatalism:
quote:
capitalism, economic system based on private ownership of the means of production, in which personal profit can be acquired through investment of capital and employment of labor. Capitalism is grounded in the concept of free enterprise, which argues that government intervention in the economy should be restricted and that a free market, based on supply and demand, will ultimately maximize consumer welfare. These principles were most notably articulated in Adam Smith's treatise, The Wealth of Nations (1776), in which he opposed the prevailing theory of mercantilism mercantilism
..... Click the link for more information. . Capitalism has existed in a limited form in the economies of all civilizations, but its modern importance dates at least from the Industrial Revolution Industrial Revolution, term usually applied to the social and economic changes that mark the transition from a stable agricultural and commercial society to a modern
..... Click the link for more information. that began in the 18th cent., when bankers, merchants, and industrialists?the bourgeoisie?began to displace landowners in political, economic, and social importance, particularly in Great Britain. Capitalism stresses freedom of individual economic enterprise; however, government action has been and is required to curb its abuses, which have ranged from slavery (particularly in Britain and the United States) and apartheid (in South Africa) to monopoly cartels and financial fraud. Capitalism does not presuppose a specific form of social or political organization: the democratic socialism of the Scandinavian states, the consensus politics of Japan, and the state-sponsored rapid industrial growth of South Korea while under military dictatorship all coexist with capitalism. Yet despite the capitalist ideal of "hands?off" government, significant government intervention has existed in most capitalist nations at least since the Great Depression in the 1930s. In the United States, it exists in the form of subsidies, tax credits, incentives, and other types of exemptions. Though private production plays a major role in the economies of Germany and Japan, both nations have centrally planned industrial policies in which bankers, industrialists, and labor unions meet and seek to agree to wage policies and interest rates; these countries reject the idea of letting the market wholly determine the economy. The collapse of the Soviet Union and its satellite states in Eastern Europe (1989?91) left those countries with a heavy burden and an uncertain future, and represented a substantial retreat in the power of capitalism's traditional economic opponent, socialism. Also uncertain is the future course of China's economy, in which small-scale capitalism is increasingly allowed within a strictly Communist political framework.

tribalism works too, so does communism in theory...
there are always abuses...
I think all ways can be equally good if everyone was good
communism needs an honest commoner leadership... capitalism needs moral values, and tribalism needs virtuous leadership... etc.

I would prefer communual tribalistic life though... more balance of resources, more piety, more respect, etc. I'm am not saying primitive, but social mentality... not necessarily throwing individualism out the window, but I think people need to think about future generations, Earth, and our human race more than pitiful personal wants I dunno

I'm not against capitalism, but I've seen mostly abuses... it starts good then BAM "let's enslave people!" "let's wage war cause they boycotting us!" etc.

I'm mostly Welsh, but have some English in me too. My grandfather on my mother's side was English. I know his family crossed over from Normandy in 1066 with William the Conquerer. I have no idea about the rest of my family since most Welsh history before the 1100's is obscure at best since the first recorded history of Wales was when the Romans invaded, even though Wales (and the rest of Britain) has been an inhabited land for the last 29,000 years.

If I had to guess I'd say that somewhere down the line I have some noble Welsh blood from before the death of Llywelyn the Last and the annexation of Wales to the Kingdom of England, however I'd have to say that over the years it's suffered and become diluted.

I can't believe I missed this...

Ku, everything you hate about exploitation of resources and such are not capitalism. Anything that requires one party to do something they have not agreed to do by contract, is not capitalism.

The simple truth is you speak of mercantalism, the belief that for one nation to gain, another must loose, and it is used to justify a great number of atrocities. Almost every arguement against capitalism is an arguement against mercantalism or against non-capitalist government interferance that favors the rich.
