Sure, it was for spices, definitely not for money.

It was a different time. We don't do that anymore!

Like, we bought and sold spice... For money.

People obviously wanted spice and paid for it.

That's how trade and industry work. We didn't just bring back exotic rocks.

Don't get high off your own supply... Still true, we import and export more as we consume.

But those trade relationships are definitely equitable these days, right?

...right??

You should read some educational books, maybe try some Marx ones before you grow up some hair

Isn't Marx the one that never worked nor had any money his entire life? Yup!

[-] ByteWizard@lemm.ee -2 points 11 months ago

It's good to read Marx books, but history books are better. That way you can see examples of how socialism always fails due to human corruption.
