Description
The forming and rise of the capitalist mode of production was inseparable from the shaping of the capitalist world system of colonial oppression and unrestrained economic exploitation of some countries by others. The subsequent decline of the capitalist social system was intertwined in turn with the collapse of the colonial powers’ political domination, break-up of the colonial system, and the rapid development of a neocolonial policy by the former metropolitan countries as the crisis of the world capitalist economy deepened. If it is only a matter of palliatives, it is because the ‘pro-agriculture’ talk nurtured by the media in the west is contrasted with an alleged ‘preference for industrialization’ which is said to be source of the bankruptcy. For the reason for seeking greater output per farmer is precisely in order to make possible a higher degree of urbanization.
