What's wrong in taking control over national resources and giving the
reaps to the people of that nation? Espescially when the same people is
undereducated, undernourished? What is wrong in giving back what is
theirs in the first place?
I really can't see any reason not to do that?
Well I can see one reason; if you want to divide a population to
maintain deeply unjust structures and social images, letting the few
control the wealth would be an excellenet idea.
Sometimes, when I discuss things with americans, I tend to fall back to
one single term: "Civilization". What does civilization mean, really?
What separates us from animals is the ability to take care of those who
cannot take care of themselves. The strong taking care of the weak,
irrespectible of skin color, genetic heritage, abilities, that is what
civilization is all about.
And in light of that, what can be wrong in giving the people back what
is rightfully theirs?
