what shaped those things you are so convince about - it is not a simple

Including us.

Compare any of your complaints to what happened to promote communism
and socialism and the abuses that have happened under those systems.

Do you know how many countires around the world that have ripped off
by the US capitalistic system.

None.

Now ask if I know how many countries tried to claim that they had been
ripped off to mask their own incompetence and corruption. Answer,
quite a few.

The US banks, in trying to influence many counties to join free trade
organizations and become fledging adherents to capitalism, have ripped
off these countries when their currency failed and their economy went
down the tube.

Utter nonsense.

Malaysia is a good example.

Perfect example of what I stated above. The "Asian Flu" economic
meltdown was entirely the result of corrupt and incompetent governance
by Asian banks and governments.

The US banks invested. The investments went down the tube.

What happened then?

The US bailed out the US banks when the US banks should have been
required to absorb their losses.

Interesting fantasy.
