diablorojo said:The third world exists due to colonialism and its associated atrocities, as I said above, it exists in a direct dialectic opposition to the first world.....
Conversely, if the First World did not exist then the Third World would be the first world and all would be well with the world???
Afghanistan was never "colonized". And what a paradise it is!!! Thailand was never colonized either, and is not exactly the wealthiest nation on the planet.
Diablo, I don't know if I should call you a communist, since you wrote that class does not matter. (A real communist would have written that a "worker" in Detroit and a "worker" in Santo Domingo have more in common with each other than they do with the elites of either country - but you write the opposite.) But, like a communist, there are basic truths about what you write followed by conclusions that are way too sweeping and utopian.
Do you really think that there would not be winners and losers in any world dynamic? If the Caribs had subjogated the Arawaks and then left, you'd be writing how the Arawaks would be a world economic power were it not for the exploitative Carib yolk!
