of what the Belgians did in the Congo, 120 years ago, I will
heartily agree. You are also ignoring the damage done to the
environment by the communists in the USSR and the PRC. Socialism
killed the Aral Sea, not capitalism, It was socialism that caused
Chernobyl not Capitalism, and the Soviet radioactive materials fires
in Kyrgyzstan. Counterpoint! It was capitalism that produced
Fukushima by building a reactor too close to the sea. But
capitalists are forced to react against an exorcised public, and
communists just mow them down.

The same can be said of capitalism, or whatever you want to call the
system that has enslaved half the world and may end up destroying
most of it for human habitation.
The problem is not capitalism (nor really communism, islam, ...). The
problem are people who pervert it ( them) for their own special
interests.
In a working sane laical democracy we can be protected against such
perversion, but today, I am not sure there is any working democracy
anywhere (with perhaps some few exceptions).
If people can lie on cannabis for 75 years, and on cancer for 40
years, they can lie on many things.
It is clear that there is no more any separation between media and
politics, and that lack of separation is the democracy killer n0 1.
(I am well placed to judge this. When I got the french price for my
PhD thesis, a dozen of journalists have interviewed me on the work
(not the harassment) and only one of them has been able to publish the
interview).
Democracies have shown that they are not immune against propaganda.
BTW, evidences continue to accumulate that the cannabinoïds cure
cancer much more efficaciously than chemo and radio. In fact in
Israel, they have understood how and why the cannabinoïds work so
well: their agonist play key role in the molecular repairs, and the
evacuation of sick cells in the organism. It explains also why the
cannabis cure (known since 5000 years) has a so large spectrum, and is
sometimes the only known cure, like with auto-immune disease,
glaucoma, .... At least things are beginning to change, albeit slowly,
on this.
We know also that prohibition does not work, except for financing
terrorism and international criminality. I don't believe at all in the
war on drug and in the war on terror, as the first step to "win" the
second would consist in stopping the first.
Financial lobbying is also a complete nonsense. It replace the
political debate by authoritative arguments, automatically. It kills
democracy almost as much as the lack of separation of the powers. It
is the democracy killer n° 2.
