Global economic system and the fittest survive

I've been thinking about the world’s economic system, and honestly, it seems like imperialism is still the main goal. It feels like the whole system is driven by a desire for dominance, even now. From colonial times to today, it’s all about figuring out who gets their share and when. No one really cares about who gets hurt or which economies fall apart; it’s all about who can profit and how they do it. If your country struggles with negotiations or is caught in neo-colonialism, then your economy is pretty much doomed. It’s all about survival of the fittest, so do whatever it takes to keep your economy going. Exploit if you can, set rules that benefit you, and if necessary, start a conflict to gain an advantage. This is just how international relations work.

I would agree with you but your perspective is on the side of a victim, probably from the third country I guess but of course you highlight the fact that the world today is a struggle for who gets what and how they get it just like the famous quote of Harold. The struggle to get hold of resources especially natural resources is the base of politics and world economy today, most of the developed economic countries are in this practice forever, destroying wildlife, nature and humanity in general in other for the so called social power over other countries. In this course they don’t care if they instigate war or not they are only interested in favour of their own economy as perhaps if this is the struggle from onset every other countries being oppressed have to form partnerships with other countries in order to fight for themselves and survive, I guess that is usually the evolution of BRICs, EU etc

You are not far from the truth buddy "imperialism has been the main aim and objective in the world economy today" whereby some countries with strong military force will now start to extend it power and influence over other countries or territories all because they want to to control their trade , resources and markets all because they are stronger than those countries which is not making to me, I would have love to go deep in explaining things here, but for some reason best known to me I will end it, but those countries who are executing such power and influence over other countries and territories because they are stronger than those countries know themselves.

Interesting, where did you hear that? Lenin predicted imperialism being the end result of capitalism, ignoring the fact that the communist manifest declared that socialism must be implemente in the entire world in order to succeed. De facto imperialism. Similar to fascism, almost always developes from the left.

I am a Political Science student bro, so I spend most of my time making findings concerning development of states, the theories of the state and the different modes of production. Hearing you mention Lenin reminded me of a lecturer indeed.

In some cases, some leaders of assumed weaker countries being haunted by assumed stronger ones because of some crimes is a conspiracy and setup carefully planned by the attacking country to have a reason to conquer and dominate the trades and resources of the latter just as France has been imposing friendship on Burkina Faso but their brave leader has been repelling them and they've even plotted lots of assassination attempts on him but he's escaped until today.

I'm curious to what extent it is because there are many significant institutions, such as the World Bank, that have the capacity to shape global economic policies, and this could have both positive and negative consequences. There are also concerns about the debts incurred by countries and how much they could affect the economy. Overall, many things are interconnected; indeed, climate change is a part of it. Environmental degradation could affect an economy.

We cannot sit down and fold our hands with the expectation that things will be alright, instead we ha e to wake up and make things worse for us and the entire people in our generation, we can't continue in being dependent of the government and advanced countries to determine for us on what to do, each day you continue to hear about how the economy continues in a degrade mode and at the same time some are building up theirs independently, if we rely on others, we may not meet up.

The level of dependency which certain economies have on other economies is majorly what develops their underdevelopment

It's a long way to become a specialist. Being a student you should know that your conclusions might not be the holy grail. As for countries, yes, survival of the fittest should you wish to be number one. Look up Scandinavia, the Baltic, small states. Some countries use their chances, like just recently Morocco showed how to do that. Other countries have the luxury to follow a doctrine, like left, beware of the ugly right. EU like. To pursue a dogma is expensive. It also holds zero benefits.

The world economy is centered around predatorship so for any country to make headway economically then such a country must adapt to the current economic reality by making moves that will keep them updated and compete with the rest of the world, the reason why some countries are progressing economically while others countries are struggling is found in this that the progressive countries are countries that has adapted to the happening of the twenty first century.

There was a post in the forum that questions about government operating with capitalism or otherwise, majority said capitalism is the best, that post also relate to your topic a little bit. In an underdeveloped countries where the citizens are struggling so hard to make ends meet, doing anything that favors them is their discussion daily, doesn't really care if it affects friends or relatives, it's no body business, so long as their target to benefit is assured, anything can be done. That's a deadly game because newbies fall victim to this, while oldies enjoy because they've mastered the art of survival of the fittest.

You have some good points here. Although I wouldn't say "survival of the fittest" at least not in the system that is now coming to an end. It is more like survival of the most brutal and barbaric regimes who do anything for resources and control. Look at the past 200-250 years. The colonizers who had their economies thrive (specially after WW2 where they destroyed the rest of the world) didn't thrive because they were the "fittest". They thrived because they were the most barbaric and slaughtered everyone else to steal their resources. These principles in the West are not different today either. We are watching the genocide West is committing in Gaza live with HD quality every day and it is all over resources and control so that they can "survive".

At first glance, our words sound rather calculating and cruel, but in fact, you are saying absolutely everything correctly and according to the laws that not only exist now, but they have always existed since the moment the state was formed. Our human nature is very competitive and we always want the best. After all, this is the rule of survival. And this applies to both individual moments in striving for the best, and to national ones.

You know, earlier when I was younger, I'll play mission games and sometimes haunt Innocent people just to gain advantage of their resources and weapons example GTA and I thought it's only a game. As I grew older, I saw exact replicas of those games I played back then live in the world politics and a perfect example is what is happening in GAZA right now. I ask myself if survival is really a game of interest where these stronger countries from alliances and decide the fate of others using the elimination strategy, all to their selfish advantage. The other day, Charlie Kirk was murdered too for his courage and beliefs and it wasn't accidental at all but a game well played. @pooya87 is right, it's the survival and and dominance of the most brutal and bloody game players.

And dependency on government have made a lot of people stagnant and I feel like people also have the opportunity to be independent instead of waiting for the government and that is the only way that we can be free from bondage because the issue we are facing is because of the kind of mindset people have is not helping at all because people are not willing to take advantage of opportunity. And when you look at it there are a lot out there and it can help the economy of a country rather than just sitting and either working and depending on Federal and if it's like that for everyone am sure that the economy will not get better so the growth of the economy should also be our responsibility.

There is nothing new about this behavior and it has existed since the beginning of man. You even see a desire for dominance in other species, like groups of monkeys going to war with each other in order to defend certain resources (like a food supply). It's Darwinism playing out within the economy, where adaption and innovation is constantly required. It helps the world move forward and nations have no choice but to participate. There's no point still making buggy whips when everyone has moved on from horse and cart to automobiles. It is sad to see exploitation but unfortunately it is common and it's only more democratic counties that try or least pretend to care about it.

What are those things that those third world countries are not doing that the west are doing that keep them at head ways, u think we need to build on that so as to build a better understanding around this topic of discussion because a lot have to do with this, I think most countries that have bad economy is as a result of two factors which are. 1: none production of domestic goods for trades because of bad government infrastructures 2: over reliance on imported good instead manufacturing what we use as finished good, this doesn't have to do with agriculture I am talking about industrial manufacturing.

The problem is that some leaders have understood that they are under manipulation by their country's colonialist but because of their selfish interest, they turn blind eyes to those negative influence that makes their people suffer and run out for greener pasture. Most of those countries are still under their colonial heads like a kid still suckling which is very wrong. If a country has declared itself as independent but they don't create wealth for themselves then they will still be having that master and servant kind of relationship. There are ways to create this total freedom and that's through investment in education, building technology, providing services and exchange created through goods and services. Most developed countries value education more and they invest heavily in it because it stands as the primary factor for development. So to have a modern imperialism is home to slavery but third world countries leaders are still finding theirselves under manipulation because they are corrupt and self-centred. If they can work towards using their natural resources to better their economy then their won't be need to seek for loan to finance their economy but it will be grown from within.

This might be the case in most countries now, their economy and prosperity are the main concerns. How they forge the right bilateral relationships, especially in the areas of the economy and trade partnership are more rampant than indignation. All these are not given, they are earned. Before you earn them, you need to prove that your country is worth it. What are you doing with your economy? How strong is your military and global political status? All these help in negotiating from the position of strength, otherwise, you do not have a choice. A good example now is Ukraine, it's a pity. Causing a war do not help the economy, but it's a show of strength, which can either make the world look you as a hero or a villain, depending on the circumstance.
