| ManusJustus said: One of the great things about capitalism is that people would rather sell things to each other than fight, and that's coming from a socialist. Also, it is very difficult for democracies to fight each other (the only one I can think of is the American Civil War, and its a stretch calling the South a democracy with less than 20% of the population being able to vote). With the world as democratic as it is right now, I have a hard time seeing another World War unless a lot of social change happens. |
Various greek wars, American Indian Wars, Spanish American Wars, Anglo American war, Franco Roman war, Finland fought for the Nazis in WW2, Indian Pakistan wars....
Democracies go to war with each other a fair amount. It just depends on the people. Democracies tend to go to war less because Democracies and capitalist socities tend to have better economic growth and less need to go to war.
