He is a peaceful man.

It's just that the kind of peace he wants will only come about by threatening the rest of the world to conform on pain of death... Kinda defeats the object.

Cause the Western peace is so much better right? You know except for the fact we're destroying our world and the south is paying for all the ecological and social costs while the north is leeching from their back.

With north I mean Europa/USA and with south I mean mostly Africa, but south america and parts of Asia as well.

Because of our global economical system 9 million people die of starvation each year in AFRICA alone. It's destroying the local agriculture which is/was the primary source of survival for many people in the world. A lot of people will die for our global economical system. A lot. 

You shouldn't listen to so much socialist propaganda.

It's not socialist propaganda, it's the hard cold truth. I my self vote for N-VA(Nieuw-Vlaamse Alliantie), which is a right wing party. So, I'm not a socialist, far from it actually. I actually don't give a shit about the environment and couldn't care less if 9 million people died because of starvation each year. I just don't deny the fundamental problems of our globalist economical system. And do I want our system to change? Yes, but only because our economy would grow as well if the south wasn't so extremely poor. 

You should stop being a negationist if you think it's just socialist propaganda. Or perhaps you just don't have a clue about globalization and it's impact on the world.  

I am probably even more conservative and right wing than you but I don't believe in the myths from the globalization-critics (that come from some elements in the extreme right, not just from commies). 

Actually you could argue that it's the protectionism measures and subsidies to EU farmers, which is the opposite to globalization, that makes it hard for the Africans to export their crops at a fair price.

And I happen to care about people who die from starvation, but it simply isn't the West's fault that the South is poor.
