    Yes, and the people who could develop that local opportunity aren’t there. They all leave as soon as they can.

    That’s why I said they’re underdeveloped countries. They’re not “developing” in truth, but are being kept from becoming developed. How do you think that happens? In part it happens because of the IMF giving predatory loans and then imposing austerity on the people when the government can’t pay their loans back, but it also happens because labor is the superior of capital and these countries are losing skilled labor.

    I am not blaming them for leaving their countries. I am blaming underdevelopment, which is a product of imperialism.
