This was a fascinating read. As someone with a strong disdain for European ideals (love the socialism, hate how they got there) I was ready to raise my pitchfork at fhe start but this... this makes sense. Europeans have a scarcity mindset and when they came to places that didnt need that as much they turned into the seagulls from finding nemo. And as a result they decimated my people and millions of other peoples across the globe like mine who seemed to have shit better figured out socially.

    Honestly, having been learning a lot about Indigenous cultures in the Americas lately, even European socialism can be seen as done the hard way. Most of the north American tribes had a culture of meeting the needs of everyone. Native Mexicans had a social welfare system that effectively made care for the young and infirm a community activity.
