So if the white Europeans had different skin colour then they wouldn't have acted in the same way?

yes in regards to the fate of africans, and native americans, and some asians.

it wouldn't have been as brutal if whites were darker or as such complexity.

Even saying that whoever moved where, blaming most white people is blaming the millions of workers who did what they could to survive. Nothing has changed, people do what they can to feed their loved ones today.

I dont understand what you're trying to say sube, that europe hasnt done anything but destroy the world? And the reason europe is atributed to many philisophical achivements is because of the age of enlightenment which happened in europe, even if you dont want to admit it, the evil europeans came up with many great things. same with many other cultures even if they didnt spread.

The age of enlightenment was a great period for thinking, and specific europeans should be atributed to alot of the great things they thought up during this period.

No I mean if Europeans were black and Africans were white.

well im just trying to say that a person or a group isnt great if the ideology and system benefits from the fruits of others. Mercantilism then capitalism etc.

but yea dont mean to say all whites are evil but at one point they were CONVINCED of being racism or justifying what their empire was doing.

well his genius have us fucking 3rd world countries even more, then use all that capital and energy to transfer it and expand our bullshit to other countries by first fucking the entire state up then establish a puppet democracy. FUCK adam smith and all bourgeoisie motherfuckers out there

Adam Smith didnt invent capitalism for fucks sake, capitalists invented capitalism. Adam Smith correctly identified how capitalism operated in the 18th century.

Racism is a product of Colonialism and Imperialism. A racist mythology was built up to justify the plunder. The East India Company in London wouldnt have existed for the sole reason of "civilising the cooolies", no, it existed for profits.

Kipling's "white mans burden" did not provoke the USA to invade the Philippines, but the invasion is what provoked Kipling to write it as a justification.
