You know you are doing something right when Western media reacts like this.

I thought this was going to be about what’s happening in South Africa where they are just immediately arresting and deporting what are now emaciated illegal miners with not even a second’s consideration to their well-being.

But no. It’s just a westoid complaining about the west losing control of natural resources in African countries.

Belgium knows a peaceful ruler to fill the place.

They’re building arbitrary cases against companies to force them to negotiate and threatening arrests.

Oh no that must be so hard for youuuu.

I hate it when someone arbitrarily accuses my company of arbitrary slavery and arbitrarily exploiting arbitrary people!

Not that I agree with these military juntas as they are no doubt brutal, but not sad for the corporations at all. They have been exploiting those country’s resources with giving little in return for a long time.

You should think a little about your automatic reation on the word "junta" with "they are no doubt brutal" and where it comes from. Those particular juntas enjoy the widespread support and acceptation in society and are much less brutal to it than your average western (not to mention comprador) "democracy".

That’s fair. I didn’t know enough about the regime to make that leap.

Do you really think the bourgeois would allow the slaves to revolt? Leftists must be armed because the example of an alternative to soul crushing capitalism will give their slaves hope.

'Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary' - Karl Marx
