Just imagine how far the ruling class would get if westerners had been allowed to see Iraqis, Afghans, Libyans, Syrians, Palestinians, Russians, and even Ukrainians as fully human and as fundamentally peaceful as anyone else. Not very far at all, I’d wager.
The fundamental contradictions remain almost untouched in superimperialist capitalism. When your core is rotten, you can either work against core (impossible) or become one with the core. It would only have delayed the inevitable, with an even worse problem of literally dried pulp equivalent Middle East, Russia and other countries.
I see that but if they had been allowed, material conditions would have been different…
Edit: just to clarify this because it might seem that I was doubling down, which was not my intention. I meant that for westerners to have been taught and allowed to humanise people they have been taught to other, it would mean that the material conditions were already changed. I did not mean that material conditions would have changed just because e.g. westerners were allowed to develop their own views without those views being influenced by propaganda. @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmygrad.ml, you’re extremely right to point out that westerners simply thinking differently would not alter the contradictions that lead capitalists into endless wars.
We should be glad Russia and China kept themselves away from western global trend.
