Ah yes, the ruthless and barbaric war criminal!

There’s a documentary that shows both sides of the story. Apparently, there’s a lot of Hondurans who support Prospera because the company has built infrastructure faster and more efficiently than the Honduran government due to their ability to bypass paying bribes to Honduran officials (corruption is rampant there). Joining the zone is completely voluntary. The charter of Prospera actually prohibits expropriation of land. Prospera actually built functioning schools, and their zone has more security and a lot less crime. If the corrupt Honduran government can’t provide security and jobs to their own people, then they should think about contracting out those responsibilities.

And people wonder why we have a bad reputation when we travel outside the United States.

Reminded of Michael Parenti, an excerpt from his piece Mystery: How Wealth Creates Poverty, which highlights the lacuna of class consciousness cultivated under the technologically mediated auspices of global US empire: _"In their perpetual confusion, some liberal critics conclude that foreign aid and IMF and World Bank structural adjustments “do not work”; the end result is less self-sufficiency and more poverty for the recipient nations, they point out. Why then do the rich member states continue to fund the IMF and World Bank? Are their leaders just less intelligent than the critics who keep pointing out to them that their policies are having the opposite effect?_ _No, it is the critics who are stupid not the western leaders and investors who own so much of the world and enjoy such immense wealth and success. They pursue their aid and foreign loan programs because such programs do work. The question is, work for whom? Cui bono?_ _The purpose behind their investments, loans, and aid programs is not to uplift the masses in other countries. That is certainly not the business they are in. The purpose is to serve the interests of global capital accumulation, to take over the lands and local economies of Third World peoples, monopolize their markets, depress their wages, indenture their labor with enormous debts, privatize their public service sector, and prevent these nations from emerging as trade competitors by not allowing them a normal development._ _In these respects, investments, foreign loans, and structural adjustments work very well indeed._ _The real mystery is: why do some people find such an analysis to be so improbable, a “conspiratorial” imagining? Why are they skeptical that U.S. rulers knowingly and deliberately pursue such ruthless policies (suppress wages, rollback environmental protections, eliminate the public sector, cut human services) in the Third World? These rulers are pursuing much the same policies right here in our own country!_ _Isn’t it time that liberal critics stop thinking that the people who own so much of the world---and want to own it all---are “incompetent” or “misguided” or “failing to see the unintended consequences of their policies”? You are not being very smart when you think your enemies are not as smart as you. They know where their interests lie, and so should we."_

Ok yeah, pointlessly being facetious, but it's capitalism to be clear lol. By definition organizing society into these two opposing classes, hollowing out anything and everything including all social meaning/trust to be sold for profit in order to sustain the "full spectrum domination" of the global capitalist class (transnational corporate/finance capital) at quite literally all other costs (like, say, _literally_ destroying the planet). _The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind."_ - some guy, a bit optimistic at the end we wouldn't just choose individual delusion while the planet literally burns around us...

@@Sammich4839 if a corporation can override a government there can't be democracy, there is no chance for people to have rights. once people don't have rights corporations can do whatever they want, limited only by the power of one another. they will then become increasingly merciless in restoring feudalism and slavery conditions whenever it provides them profit, as they already do when they can get away with it. Only now they will be able to get away with it all the time. Corporations don't operate ethically, they are profit driven. They don't care if they destroy people's lives to get what they want. They don't care if they destroy our entire planet. They have already seized too much power. They represent a tiny percentage of humans--the tippy top of the wealthy--and such a tiny percentage shouldn't have any right to control everything and everyone. Also poor countries are in more difficult positions to begin with. They are usually caught between a rock and a hard place in having to make decisions in a brutal capitalist world order. They are extreme underdogs whereas these corporations are overpowered and exploitative and supported by powerful nations. The US government seems to be largely bought out by corporate powers, it's become a terrible oligarchy, and its failure to regulate its own corporations is where this problem started.
