that economic systems are abusive and inhumane under state control.

Not to mention the far worse conditions without state control.
For example cobalt, where 3/4 is coming from Congo. But unfortunately often not from where the state rules, but where the warlords reign.
Which means, basically, slaves (because the people often cannot leave) and sometimes child soldiers. Far less then the 30'000 there used to be 20 years ago, but still some.

    BS. See above comment, and please substantiate these claims guys!

    With the withdrawal of U.N. forces the immediate prospect for installing a new government diminished—and with it so did the fighting. Somalia’s entire experience with formal government has been one of plunder and resource extraction by the ruling elite. As long as there was a prospect for a new government, each clan had a strong incentive to fight to make sure it was on the receiving, rather than giving, end of the plundering. Once there was no longer the immediate prospect for a new central government the clans began to settle back into their traditional customary and mostly peaceful relationships with one another.

    Just one example of many:

    Regardless. Forcing your will upon non-violent others is immoral. The end. So even if you had all the hard-hitting rationalizations in the world, it wouldn’t matter.

    Violence is immoral and supporting a system founded entirely on violence is as well.

    262 million dead bodies in the last century are calling you a liar right now.

    We don’t need more poison to control the poison! We need logic, love, and common sense.

    Hopefully you have them!

    Because the folks you are promoting are child rapist, village pillaging, health destroying, infant-flash-melting mass murderers.
