A world order which since inception was a stock venture to
socialize costs for private profits
succeeded in keeping nation states addicted to the suicidal habit of militarism. Some might not agree with this interpretation.
But then how does one explain
the Congo Free State
not referenced in the common narrative?
Through the alchemy of violence King Leo took externalities to the next level, murking 2x as many Congolese as the Jews who died in WWII.
Where is their outrage? Their holocaust museum? It’s not the right narrative. No “great man of history” to scapegoat the world’s problems. Because this is the natural result of
addiction unchecked
You make a bust which makes the papers to justify your authority which is actually just a protection racket to keep the con going.
