How the United States RIGGED the Global Economy

[@currawong2011]

De-dollarization would help a lot kid the rest of the planet but the doesn't mean the US would necessarily fall apart. As long as the US uses its currency the way fiat money should be used, it can keep being a powerful country (hopefully not the first superpower though).

[@randomchannel-px6ho]

Yeah go look at the actual details of trade between brick nations. For example, when India buys Russian oil, the Russians get rupees that have to be spent on Indian goods and services. There's so many things like that or even worse in the "trade bloc". BRICS isn't this anti western super alliance, it was an invention of Goldman sachs... There's not going to be a brics unified currency that brings down the dollar. The dollars fall eventually come thanks to us banks.

The goal is that most Americans should have a high standard of living, or at least consuming, while having very little knowledge or interest in geography, policy, history, current events, or consequences.

[@coltonc7832]

Most Americans don't have a high standard of living. It's somewhere around 50% of the nation lives off of minimum wage and there are many parts of the US which are comparable to developing countries. The latter part of your argument holds true though, but the point is to keep average citizens down through debt and misdirection (look at any talking point in the so called culture wars, all of which inevitably benefit the flow and maintenence of capital to the hands of the few).

[@rgzhaffie]

The goal is that most Americans but IMAGINE that they have a "high standard of living", just so as to neuter any internal dissent, but crucially that about ten percent of them in FACT have a high standard at any cost, whether to other citizens, or the rest of the world.

The Fed is undoubtedly responsible for the present catch-up efforts, as they were first too slow to control inflation.

The world is divided into two camps, those countries which has benefited from US imperialism like the G7, EU etc will fully support whatever their US master does, never mind its immorality while those countries that did not benefit or are badly oppressed, will try to break free from this continued oppression.

[@tinabraxton4906]

A few things were left out here. One is that Breton Woods was originally supposed to bring prosperity to all countries. But US participation doomed that from the start. Second is that De Gaulle turned sour on the US, because the CIA orchestrated a coup against him, in favor of Vichy leftovers. Fortunately, the French People turned out to defend him and his anti-Mafia government. Third, there was a certain sense to dropping gold. Stable currencies had always been tied to reserves of a resource with long-term value. And petroleum seemed to have become a better choice for this than gold. But the petro-dollar only benefitted one country-- the US, and hedged out any possibilities for other countries to benefit. So it was a betrayal on global scale. Nixon's claim at the time was that the dollar would be backed by the energies and efforts of the US economy- workers and thinkers. But it was a lie. Both have since been eclipsed and trodden underfoot, by the financialization of everything. This is also global.

[@serafinacosta7118]

It is a decent argument. I would rather appreciate if you parsed the paragraphs. When you go on First, Second , Third , there is your opportunity to space them out. It would make your piece easy on the eyes, hence readable.

Hank Kissinger roaming the White House during several Administrations appeared to allow the Rockefeller Bros Errand Boy some ability to deliver messages that the Standard Oil Kids might find profits from? John M Keynes desire to make the IMF help developing Nations build things, has been perverted to make loans that are too big to pay off. Exploiting resources as Collateral has replaced Tribute Payments to the US Empire. Your comment appears to lack facts that can prove your point, but some points do seem to be pertinent.....

“Our control over intellectual property allowed us to hold vaccines…“ Are you sure about that? I remember that being suggested at the time and it being pointed out that the what was holding back vaccine production was simply the lack of production facilities capable of producing the vaccines. Are you saying that somewhere in the world were production facilities that were going unused because American companies were guarding their intellectual property? When people accused America of “hoarding“ vaccines, what they meant, I think, was that they were refusing to export the vaccines produced in America before they had vaccinated all Americans. Are you sure that Keynes’ main concern wasn’t Britain rather than the welfare of the human race as a whole.

this is idiotic. BRICS hate each other. the US is still the largest open market that’s why it dominates. China is closed market to finished goods. that’s their problem they only buy resources.

[@dualidea]

To summarize, the US needs other counties (especially the third world) to be reliant on US goods/services, because it requires them to obtain US dollars. This is important because it forces poorer countries to sell their labor/resources/assets at heavy discounts to the US because the US dollar is worth that much more. Not only that, but because the entire world is propping up the US dollar this allows the US to keep printing money without consequences so that it can continue to maintain dominance in the world.

The corruption at the heart of the system which has been allowed to fester due to the secrecy and deception of these international manipulations, has now also left a moral vacuum which ultimately destabilises the country from the top, doubles-down on the disenfranchisement and prevents the executive from being able to steer a path towards prosperity.

So while i agree with the conclusion of this piece (another absolute banger from Jacobin), I struggle to understand who it's speaking to. it's not "normal people" bent on "global domination" that are the problem, it's entrenched autocratic elements growing deep within the capitalist foundation of our neoliberal structures incentivized by profit motive and reinforced through codified financial subsidy. it's the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, oil contracts, massive global mega corp board members and CEO's. this is a great overview without any real suggestion for remedy.

Is the world sicker poorer with globalization? Pulling China, SK alone out of proverty has reduce poor and hungry to lowest point ever. In WWI, 20 million Indian starved by British rule. Atleast 40 million people starved to death under Lenin's Russia and Mao's China.

[@jacobjones630]

It’s not the point to reduce poverty or illness, it’s just to make money. The large capital investments the US has made allowed these nations to build infrastructure and basically turned their nations into charles dickens novels of exploitation. Now that they have exhausted the amount of exploitable labor that capital will move on to india and africa, and the east asians will need to live in a world with no foreign investment. These nations did grow richer but the capitalists in the US grew exponentially richer and have largely wasted this wealth and destroyed the capacity of the earth

Patents are the main reason people give so much effort into innovation. Also Capitalism is the main reason products that people would need/buy never lack funding. Plus all medicine patents have a time period of 20 years... I am so glad that we solved education/healthcare for all and secularism in the 30's and that I don't have to vote for communists today. It would have complicated a lot of things for me

[@jacobjones630]

Buddy you are so wrong about everything it’s hard to start. Sputnik, the internet, vaccines, basically all innovation of the last half century has come from immense government funding. Eli lilly jealously guards it’s insulin patent it’s had for 100 years now by tweaking the formula slightly. We don’t have education and healthcare for all, in fact we are going to lose even basic schooling in the us because of charter schools. Capitalism has outlived it’s usefulness and will only drain the world until it is overthrown

[@lolcatjunior]

What was mentioned in the video was the reason why people criticize China about IP theft. Alexander Hamilton, one the founding fathers of America openly promoted piracy and IP theft of European tech and engineering in order to promote the advancement of the nation. Should America be the only country with the privilege of IP and tech dominance? Japan's semiconductor industry was taken away from them(Plaza Accords gave Japanese IP to US) and Japanese cars had a 100% tariff on them. Blocking their sales until the 90s. Your comment suggests this is okay. Also where are you from? There is no free education or Healthcare in America.

[@onurturhal6814]

​@@lolcatjuniorI'm from Turkey🇹🇷. And Frankly no one should steal, no one should bully each other into giving away IP. I'm in no way saying that 🇺🇸 is défendable on the issue of Plaza Accords🇯🇵. But 2 wrong don't make a right neither.

This is an interesting topic. 1. The u.s. held 3/4 of the worlds gold after ww2. 2. The u.s. guaranteed military protection to europe if they adopted this system (nato) 3. The u.s. bailed out western europe after the war. Without that bailout, western europe would have been crushed for generations So what did the u.s. get out of this deal? 1. Everyone agreed to use u.s. dollars as the world reserve currency (which had the effect of increasing the purchasing power of each dollar) 2. The u.s. made money off all the loans they gave to europe, interest. 3. The u.s. gained money by selling products to the now flourishing economics of post ww2 europe. 4. Western europe agreed to be capitalist which allowed america to profit off european markets. Results of this system… 1. The u.s. got to print more money than we had gold, essentially creating money out of thin air at the expense of other countries wealth. 2. The u.s. got to fund our military, education, and war machine after ww2. 3. Western europe got rich again. 4. China eventually got rich too after the 70s and nixon and deng ziaopeng opened trade with china. 5. Soon india and africa will be rising. Shared prosperity is happening, but the u.s. rigged the system in a way that the u.s. will prosper more.

[@krejados1]

Just a few small corrections. 1. Everyone did not agree to use US dollars; they were strong-armed into it. At the tag end of the war, the US was the only economy with any cash. The US delegate was adamant that there would be no deal unless the US could call the shots. 2. After de-industrializing its own country (starting mid-80s), the US implemented economic Shock Therapy around the world, ensuring its capitalists would have first dibs when foreign assets were privatized. 3. China is the only country that did not comply with the US/IMF-mandated Shock Therapy. Instead, the Chinese negotiated a technology-sharing agreement with American manufacturers, the basis for its hyper-resilient, shock-resistant economy. Which is pretty impervious to US machinations, much to US fury. 4. Shared prosperity is only at the whim of the US. To wit, the US is systematically deindustrializing its supposed partner/ally, the European Union. Recall the AUKUS deal, when the US, UK and Australia stole a billion-dollar contract for submarine from the French. Also, the US has long raged over Merkel contracting with Russia for cheap energy. Miraculously, the pipelines feeding German industry are out of commission. Now, Europe must buy gas from the US at huge markups. The list of examples goes on and on. As for the Global South, they've been systematically stripped of their wealth while being simultaneously drowned in debt for decades.

[@TiamattheDestroyerofWorlds]

@@krejados1 I agree with all four points. I would add some points to europe. No one robbed europe of its wealth tho. I wouldnt frame it that way. If anything, id argue europe, china, and now india all relied on the u.s. to become who they are. The u.s. wasn’t nice about it, and they were selfish, but it undeniably benefited europe, china, and india lifting millions out of poverty.

[@koopacabras4545]

Also they started a bunch of proxy wars and coup d etat in latam... thats what the video forgets to mention as someone from latam, part of their master plan was that latam should stay poor. Now that countries like Brasil and Mexico are competing toe to toe in some stuff with the US... they are trying to rig the system again with new protectionist regulations... thats essentially what Trump did.

[@Bitcoin1y]

@@krejados1 In 2023, the United States remains the EU's leading supplier of liquefied natural gas, with a share of 46.4% in total EU imports. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) loaded on to tankers at U.S. ports costs nearly four times more on the other side of the Atlantic. This is largely due to the market disruption caused by the near-total loss of Russian deliveries following the invasion of Ukraine. In December 2023, Moody's research found that gas tariffs on European businesses and households are well above their 2015-2019 average and could remain above that level until at least 2031.

[@Bitcoin1y]

@@koopacabras4545 Coups d'état became common in Latin America during the Cold War. The United States supported some of these coups, which were intended to replace left-wing leaders with right-wing leaders, military juntas, or authoritarian regimes. Here are some examples of coups d'état in Latin America: 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état A CIA covert operation deposed the democratically elected Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz and ended the Guatemalan Revolution of 1944-1954. 1964 Brazilian coup d'état A military coup overthrew the Brazilian president João Goulart from March 31 to April 1, 1964. This ended the Fourth Brazilian Republic (1946-1964) and initiated the Brazilian military dictatorship (1964-1985). The United States also supported Operation Condor, a campaign of political repression and state terrorism in South America. This involved intelligence operations, CIA-backed coups, and assassinations of left-wing sympathizers, liberals, and democrats and their families.

This is all accurate information. America is a pirate nation, born from stolen property. Alexander Hamilton promoted this and encouraged piracy and IP theft for the sake of national development.
