Topic: The world Economy is based on Predatorship (Read 502 times)

Indeed, life is harder than a rock, especially if you talk about the economy, the predatory system has been going on for centuries, previously the predatory system was not very visible, but human life has become increasingly sophisticated, it's getting worse, predators target the old, just like life in the wild today, like lions preying on zebras.

For this reason, it is now necessary to realize and maintain world economic balance, so that a predatory system does not occur, society has the right to act on unjust power, especially in the economic sector, The more people don't care about predatorism, the worse life gets, do what you can for your economy, to avoid predatorism

Whether we like it or not, human nature - or even the nature of all living beings - is survival of the fittest and that by extension applies to every country of the world. The biggest economies get to set the rules and the others often have to follow, although they might be better swayed if they are treated fairly or they could be driven into other partnerships that may benefit them. Just look at the current tug of war between the two largest economic superpowers - the USA and China, on the one hand China is a manufacturing juggernaut but has a very opaque system that only benefits the CCP and on the other hand America is very innovative but sometimes oversteps the mark in pushing their power around.

That's true, big and powerful countries are big and powerful because they have conquered poor countries, not in a direct way but in an indirect way. Outsourcing of factories is a good example.
For example, why does Velder earn 2$ per hour in my country but earn 20$ per hour in the USA? What's the difference? The same job is done in both cases but person in my country gets paid way less. Many German companies outsource their work in our country. If they had to pay 20 euro per hour in their country, in our country they pay 1/4 of that and get the same service. This is predatorship.

Life is full of double standards and injustice. They want equality but are happy to outsource their companies in countries where working conditions are bad, workers rights aren't protected and it's easy to abuse them for low pay.

The problem with the current system is that if everyone is only interested in taking from others without generating anything by themselves, eventually the system will collapse as there are not enough people generating new wealth, and in a way I think the collapse is already underway, however the question is what comes next? Since it is entirely possible a system that is even worse than the one currently in place could be implemented.

I quite agree with the description of the world economic system as predatory, even more so than that. Those in control are those who never surface, always moving their pawns to keep the system running. Whether we realise it or not, this system called Predatorship has become flesh and blood in all economic applications of any country, the weak will remain in the cage to be governed. This system also has branches from the state down to the regional economic system eventually becoming a shackle of the economic chain.

However, if we look at developed countries that decided to stand alone with their economic systems and global policies, it gave birth to economic giants where China, Russia, and the United States have their own territories or territories and run their economic systems according to what they want.

Defense system never made sense to me unless you are in a war. Like for example USA spending this much money on military never made sense, they do find reasons to fool themselves, but I guarantee you that there is no reason to do it, because if you can't spend as much as you opponent and still win, and you need to spend twenty times as much as your opponent to win, and you also need to spend as much as your opponent spends just to send to your allies, and they can still make you afraid with just one nuclear button when they want to threaten you, then maybe you are not really spending the money at the right place.

Maybe spending that on healthcare and education would be better? Hell, even if nothing else, spending that money on your veterans would be better than what they are doing right now, you are making people not want to become soldiers, because they know if they come back, you will not care about them, which makes them fight with one arm tied.

The same thing happened during Covid-19 and this happened nothing more than a conspiracy attempt made to test some systems, the impact of which is that the global economy was hit and certain parties benefited from the conspiracy.
Some say set the system and control the global economy so that people and groups will obey us and that is happening now as some events that have ever happened.
Humans are made as test subjects by those who are predatory and try to dominate so they have to construct conspiracy theories through the world economy.

Strength, power and economy are forms of systems that must be prepared and that is why they need test subjects called prey.
The world is arranged in such a way by them so that global power can be controlled, regulated and influenced according to the wishes of the conspiracy.

Not all countries want to progress some are just excuses they are giving to make people believe that they are actually looking towards the progress of their country you need to actually look at how so countries are behind and this something they are aware of even going to other countries to seek for funds and claim that does funds are for the development of that nation, and their countries that are after other countries because of the kind of resources that are available in such places they can even think of going in partnership just because of the benefits they will get from their we know how they act when they want resources.

Working on their defense system shows that they have other agender of war if not their are other options to focus on to make the life of people better instead of spending money of war equipment, it is just not worth we go to war with our self for no reasonable matters. War is something that comes with a lot of complications and that is war any country at war their economy is usually very affected, Ukraine and Russian war have affected both side already.

Yes Every country want to progress but few became successful in this case. Big countries like USA and Europe want to encounter small countries and they want the access of their income. But now every country is working on their defense system because economy can't be strong if any country did not work on their defense system. Ukrain currency was good but now they are in bad situation because they did not work on their defense system and foreign country attached on Ukraine. Russia took many resources from them and now Ukraine public is not free and they will face hard circumstances in future.

The example you gave is actually a bit sideways, although everything will be so structured in the rules of each country, although most people are also aware that certain individuals also do bad things in order to advance their business and products in this world. I am also not surprised when developed countries continue to take advantage of marketing their products in developing countries because developing countries usually do not have more superior products on the market, so this can be a very good field for business people in developed countries.

The UN might have been a puppet of some countries but the problem the organisation faces now is that some countries are too powerful to be controlled. An example is the constant bombardment of Gaza and Lebanon by Israel. UN Secretary General António Guterres supported by other nations has called for a ceasefire several times but these strong nations have neglected it. The inequality in the world reminds me of a statement in George Orwell's Animal Farm; “all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others”  

It is all about money and power. And these powerful nations don't care how many people will suffer because of their selfish policies. Developing nations are paying the price of the industrial activities of these developed nations. Global warming is triggering natural disasters in developing nations; meanwhile, they contribute little to greenhouse gas emissions.

If you think of the UN, they are ridiculous... they don't protect anyone except the interests of those who created them. If it suits them, they will intervene, if it doesn't suit them, they will turn a blind eye and act crazy.

I agree with OP and the headline, it's like that "Eat or be eaten". And we see that everywhere we turn, there is no love and humanity, it's all about money and business. That's the system, and it's unlikely that we'll see any changes in the near future... it's even more possible that these current wars will escalate into something bigger that will affect the entire world.

Smaller nations trying to be bigger is of course what is inevitable to happen, but we have seen these other nations grow to a point where they are so powerful, they can make sure they are never down, under those unders. I mean Nigeria is growing for example, and in 50 years they will have a strong enough economy that they will maybe crack into g8, or at least be in g20 for sure. But does that mean UK will be poorer that Nigeria? Never.

So when you take what you want to take, and then leave and give people their freedom, that is not freedom, you took what they had, you can't just expect them to grow, they never had a chance to grow, you prevented them already. USA is literally the only nation that didn't need resources from others for a long time, maybe until they took oil from Iraq, but they were big by then.

And only reason for this is because they already took over a huge land, literally huge enough to give people town size farms for free as long as they farm it, and this allowed them to grow since they had what it takes to make money.

Everyone wants to be the leader in the general context.

Not in the past, it is also real now, in everyday life it can be seen that both offices or organizations that are profitable and profitable will always be born competition whether it is positive or not.

Another example that we see most often in the world of online shopping is always indicated by the name of the practice of price wars and unfair promotions

On the one hand it is good, users can get cheap prices but on the other hand it creates an unhealthy gap in this case, especially for traders who have small capital.

We do have to be able to appreciate and acknowledge things that other people can do and we don't have that ability yet but we have to be able to learn so that we can change to be better than before and regarding locals treating global products as products that they excel at while there are still local products that have the same quality of course this is very detrimental to ourselves because we can still get local products with the same quality of course this will really help our own country's economy compared to choosing foreign products and making it difficult for local products to develop.

Technological developments will indeed make marketing easier and many products will be easily seen by everyone, but if we choose a product just because many people use it, this will be very detrimental to ourselves and when choosing the product we need, it would be better if we understand the function of the product we choose and don't let it be that after buying it we can't use it properly.

The disappointing thing is most poor countries do not recognize this. My country compliments and regards other countries so much thinking that they are doing something we can't hence why they are rich. It is true that some countries have an advantage over third world ones but the way we, the locals, treat global products as if it is more superior than the local ones is an issue. We are quite literally allowing ourselves to be taken advantage of just because we see foreigners as the more superior people over us.
The internet is also huge part of this. You will notice that as long as a product gets viral, it will be what people will sell. People quite do not recognize just how useless and stupid some of the products there are. But since it is going viral, everyone is expected to have it. Soon all businesses will follow and we are not creating anything innovative and unique because it is all just money these days.

I am not surprised anymore with the condition and all important areas have been systematic from the beginning. Remember my friend, a pregnant woman if she is going to give birth must follow several administrative stages at a government hospital to get the service if she wants to give birth for free with the note that she is one of the service participants that have been provided by them. What does it mean, we are here and even newborn babies have indirectly used their products indirectly.

Yesterday I listened to a video podcast by the famous economist Lipsitz. He talked about modern capitalism.

Modern managers strive not to introduce innovations, but to increase the capitalization of their companies. As a result, our modern world is not interested in the development of scientific and technological progress. Universities and the scientific community are busy generating scientific articles, as a result of which there are so many of these articles that a specialist in this field is simply not able to study all the information that theoretically he might need for practical work. An increase in the capitalization of a company is achieved by minimizing costs. And minimizing costs, in turn, is achieved by exploiting the labor of workers in poor countries (in China, Vietnam, etc.).

Exploitation of labor in poor countries allows people in rich countries to prosper and consume cheap and high-quality products.

At the same time, innovations turn out to be of no use to anyone because modern marketers have learned to sell goods without innovations, with minimal improvements.

Even though you are right, I believe things are not as easy as they used to be in ancient times. In those times, when there used to be a nation with power, having enough people to fight for their nation or to conquer new places and small nations, they would go ahead and do it. If there used to be rulers in those nations, then they would think before taking steps, or if they knew they could challenge even the emperor, they wouldn't care about anything and go ahead with their ventures.

I have read a lot of stories about history, the times of Genghis Khan and other people who fought and conquered thousands of lands and nations with their fighters, they were cruel but as you said, they were hungry for more power and to have that power, they would either kill entire nations or get them to obey them and let them rule.

In modern times, even if a nation has more power, it can do anything openly because that will trigger war since other powerful nations will be looking for opportunities to attack the competitors because everyone wants to be on the top. This is why there are organizations to maintain world peace.

That is a reality that we cannot avoid now and I also still live in a developing country where every economic sector still looks ordinary and there has never been any progress because citizens still like foreign products rather than their own local products. In addition, developing countries also still find it difficult to make the latest products in order to compete with developed countries so that developing countries will always find it difficult to compete with developed countries in anything including the economic sector. That is why developed countries always look for fairly soft bait in developing countries because opportunities from various business circles are always more visible in developing countries.

I think all countries are very aware of how cunning developed countries are in exploiting other countries, especially developing countries that have abundant natural resources and cheap labor. Developed countries will continue to maintain this way of working to support their economy, and developing countries will always be used as tools, usually they will control the legal system and provide assistance through debt. It is difficult for developing countries to get out of this bad situation so that they can be economically strong, because in essence this situation is indeed "wanted" by developed countries. Officials in developing countries are usually lackeys of developed countries, they will work according to requests, without caring about the long-term impact on the sustainability and existence of their own citizens. This happens in almost all developing countries, and this system will continue to be maintained as long as developed countries want it.

In the world we live in, wealthy countries increase their wealth at the expense of impoverished ones. For inexpensive labor and raw materials, developed countries rely on developing ones. While rich nations provide the finished goods that developing nations need. Industrialized countries fear losing their raw material suppliers and markets, so they will never allow less fortunate countries to advance technologically. Global powers will instigate conflicts, destabilize political systems, and create economic challenges to guarantee that impoverished countries rely on them for nearly all of their necessities.

In my nation, there has been a rise in the deliberate destruction of significant power distribution infrastructure. Due to the fact that we are the largest market for electrical generator sets, investigation revealed that some powerful nations are behind it. 

The difference between nowadays and the ancient days, is that in the present time, predators don't need to use strength in order to catch the prey anymore. Rather, the prey fall for the predator by free will.

We can exemplify this through the "rat race", where 90% of the global population is inserted, pursuing empty goals or just surviving, instead of living. However, it's our duty to at least try getting out of this race, to refuse playing this game and following its rules.

But in order to do so, you need to give a big NO to most offers the world tries persuading you to accept. On this game mode, you are by yourself in this world, not playing by the side of the predators, neither by the side of the prey.

The world, yes, needs balancing, but not on the ground of oppression. What happened to equal trade? nations giving what they've got in exchange for their needs is better than capitalizing on a smaller nation's resources by force. A lot of families in developing countries have lost properties to war and conflicts, and no place to go.

These are humans who enjoyed a free world, but now undergo trauma for selfish interest of another nation seeking superiority. However, rising and falling is the nature of the world, those who were oppressed could become the oppressors if they've got the chance. So, it's like a natural human behavior.

The government has been created for the good of the people and they are taking it as another way of getting from people and enriching themselves this money is for the people and is supposed to be used for their interests so why is everything looking very different, they are initiating with action and they are always feeding on people and they always try to get peoples attention when it comes election and their to bribe their way out in getting their self the desired position and this thing is not happening in Nigeria but all over the world this shows that the system is corrupt and there is no way that every country do not have what they are battling with the exhortation from the government and that is why the protest that happened in Kenya I was happy because we can not continue this way.

I was reading something but I don't even know how true it is that whenever any country wants to carry a loan they don't have a choice then to sign some policies for every African country and if that is true then there is a big problem because we can not be living under the obligation of a foreign law that is very bad, just because you want to grant them loan.

I just replied to one of your threads about the economic situation in Nigeria and what you said here is exactly what I wanted to say. Not only your country Nigeria but my country and many other third world countries will have a very difficult time improving their economy when our world is running like a predatory regime like what you are saying.

That is why I believe and support: a multipolar world would be much better than a unipolar world like today. Of course, a multipolar world will not completely solve this problem, but it will open up more opportunities for countries like ours to have more choices and opportunities to develop instead of being oppressed and suppressed as it is today.

It's like you finally figured out the Matrix.
When you are a person who comes from a slum you are already aware of this predetorship since the time you walk going to your school and back to your house. There is a predator at every turn and sometimes they don't just bully, they take your lunch money as well.

The world economy is different because the strong ones can create a new economy which we all are still part of. The Roman Empire became a church that still lives today and still manages to make a colonized country worship.

It is the nature of animals to be predators over the weak ones and that is why you see that it is also in the nature of humans because we are high level animals. Greed, oppression, discrimination and power is a big problem because that is what leads to such behavior.

The world is like a jungle where only the strong survives and if you want to survive you need to be with a pack otherwise, you become the prey to the strong. Wars are here and there, and what some people are doing is to make money from the war in disguise of helping. There is a high rate of inflation in the country but some people are stealing what belonga to other for themselves and you cannot say anything in order not to get mop.

I will agree with you at some point concerning the pre-colonial era and how most colonial masters were able to extract vital minerals to their own country for development. I understand that over time we've had what people like kwame Nkrumah has described as neo colonialism the last stage of imperialism, where colonial masters still have influence on the current rule in those countries they colonized.
But I take exception to some of these ideas because most of the countries from the third world Nations have leaders  that are very selfish and lack the vision to develop their country, a lot them enjoys sovereignty without external influence or distractions from anywhere, but yet they cannot put up policies that will better the lives of their country men.

 It's been over 60 years since most colonial masters left the countries they've colonized, so the current underdevelopment most of the third world countries are facing are caused by the current leaders they've had for the last 20 to 30 years.

You're entirely correct buddy, that's the way the world runs and somehow, it's a good feat because it stirs a kind of competition and determination to be great and do more in the minds of both the weaker and the stronger entities involved, else nations would be lazy since there's a neutral balance and there's no special reward in being exceptional in their dealings.

Citing the workspace, seeing the higher ranking officers and the goodies they enjoy is an endless motivation and drive for you to strive to be there too. You burn all bridges and make your way to the top and you're glad you did.

I've seen countries who were colonized by others rise up and regain their independence, get their military more equipped and operate on their own, such things they wouldn't have done if they were not colonized.

So the predatory and capitalistic approach is an encouragement for all entities to rise up and be better versions of themselves and funny enough without these competitions, then life would actually be very boring and there would be less motivation and drive to actually do anything spectacular.

While it is true to an extent that colonial powers exploited the weaker nations, the contemporary world economics are not that simple. Their former colonies now declare their independence and even excel in other fields like technology and agriculture. In digital innovations, Kenya and India are emerging, or at least venturing into, sustainable development aspects that reshape the economy of those countries.

The sad reality, however, is that even today, the legacy of colonialism contributes to economic inequalities. Exploitation of resources and people rendered many developing countries to lag behind in the process of development, and unfair trade policies are still affecting developing countries. But with global cooperation and reforms, a focus on equitable development and correction of structural imbalances, these inequalities are slowly being reduced.

Of course, the idea really pertains to Asia too. There are many countries of the region that share similar historical problems of exploitation and colonialism. For example, India and Indonesia are highly exploited countries during the times of the colonizer. More wealth benefits the colonizers than the local people.

We have also witnessed in Asia that sometimes, economies navigate complicated relationships with major powers, like China and the United States. That can create dynamics that reflect those historical dynamics. For instance, a smaller Southeast Asian country might notice that its policies work well with those of its larger neighbor. That affects its economic independence.

Intra-Asian dynamics, such as trade relations; it may also reflect evolutionary relationships. It can depict the strong economies like China that play an important role in regional trade. This may lead to differences regarding past interests.

To solve these problems, Asian countries need to strengthen cooperation in the region as well as formulate policies that will stress out the need for even development and mutual respect. Organization of mechanisms like ASEAN already aims at promoting cooperation; however, a lot needs to be done so that every country can progress independently.


There is the deep sadness and anger that many people feel over the legacy of colonialism and present inequality. Sadder still is the fact that independence has come without much moving away from or getting rid of the remnants of oppression and inferiority perpetrated by powerful states upon many countries.

This parable of the elephant and the dog reflects how vividly -a servant-and riches do lie in the pockets of a few. It reminds the society of grave social injustices which continue to form the basis of life and community.

Compassion in such a situation means taking cognizance of the historical background and the fierce fight people are going through to protect their rights and dignity. The people's courage in speaking against injustice is commendable. And the international community must support activities leading to equality and dignity for all nations and their citizens.


One more interestingly related idea has to do with the relationship of capitalism with the "predatory" dynamics we have been discussing. In one respect, capitalism can perpetuate the old system where wealth and power are at the top and the groups below are struggling just to make ends meet.

In looking at the boss versus the employee, it will point out how economic systems can perpetuate inequality. This subsequently sets off a vicious cycle that ensures people with more power and resources continue to garner all those benefits while many others suffer as they have been given too little. For example, opportunities to make more money are often out of sight for people without means. Such a circumstance makes it almost impossible for families to better themselves.

It is a social phenomenon that mirrors the historical legacy of exploitation and, equally so, the current economic practice. In redressing such inequalities, a collaborative effort will be required in rethinking how we ought to organize outcomes and assist others in need.

I mean, that sounds an awful lot like capitalism.

Someone works for a boss, the boss works for someone else, and so on and so forth, and 10 steps later you have the big boss that runs it all. And money flows (or should I say trickles) downwards.

Obviously it's a problem for people with a lot of expenses (e.g. a family) and not enough means to pull them out of it.

And the colonization was accepted as a case of "If you can not beat them then you should join them" all just to survive.
I am not going to conspire with you in this but I know you are right.
It is unfair that even til date, there is still the practices of the advanced countries suppressing the underdog countries because even after being sovereign in meeting with the legal and responses and capacities of governing itself, those colonies would still make them feel lower class as self independent in deciding their responsive rights.
Worse be it that even in the nation, citizens rebels each other were defensive is only for the strong whole the weals are humanity and being enslaved of working for the rich.
Here is why some says "they works like the elephants and eats like the ants".

this is not just about how the world economy is structured. It's same with almost every area of life. You always have predators and prey in all sectors who use thier power, influence and previledges to thier advantage while the prey is sapped almost to death.

The good thing is that the system allows the prey to man up and become independent of the excesses of the predator as long as he's ready to gain Independence from such hostile relationship. Even in our modern world, supposed third world country have been trampled upon countless times and her resources taken away from them by countries from the world powers and this represents the height of predator to prey kind of relationship. It's all a thing of game, you show that you're weak, you risk being trampled upon and preyed on to even death but when you decide to become strong for yourself, you could conquer the world and become a predator to the younger nations business and people that where at the state you've been while you were preyed on.

It's a cycle that keeps revolving in different ways and in one way or the other, we just keep moving from being a prey to becoming a predator and vice versa.

Because it's all a zero sum game.

If you can sell something higher, it means the buyer will lose.
If you sell something cheaper, you will lose.

Unfortunately this not only happen on top positions, but it happened in everywhere. In low position we call it rat-race, where a lot people are competing with each other just to get "low" achievement.

While in high position, most of them are predators, you can be scammed even with your closest partner.

At times I don’t know what to think of these guys either, they aren’t being advised properly and are been encouraged with the idea of a greater suffering to birth the next good or it is the fact that, they aren’t directly impacted by their decisions which brings about these sufferings.
At the very least, they are way above certain levels to suffer with the masses and as such, they benefit off their expense. It’s just terrible what we humans can do to ourselves just to build long lasting wealth.
Until we get to understand that we share this world together, it’s always going to be difficult or impossible taking these predatory prey instinct out of humanity.

Some people and even countries have made themselves into easy preys for others who are more confident in their abilities and have put themselves in a position of power to take advantage of other people or country that are not self aware or know their strengths yet. It's a dog it's dog world, and everyone has to be tough end up because where you see predatorship, some other people with higher economic skills see an opportunity to make money, and they never hesitate to take these opportunity. We cannot really blame these people for taking opportunities and acting the way they act because predators and preys bring the balance.

This is nothing new and is the way the world has always worked, you might argue it has got more civilized than a Roman army spreading across Europe or Genghis Khan rampaging through Asia. Borders are generally much better defined these days, but the people with the most economic clout have always been able to bully others. Ingenuity has allowed some smaller nations to wield greater power than you might expect through certain periods of time, but kingdoms rise and fall. Every country would practice "colonialism" if they could, because it means spreading their culture and being able to wield outsize influence over competing nations, we see China conducting it today but it only ever gets associated with European powers or America, simply because they have been most effective at it.. because their cultures are actually quite hospitable in comparison to others.

It's everywhere including the jungles and seas, big animals feed on the smaller species. Humans are not far from this mentality, for mere material possessions, nations kill each other to acquire wealth. And the survivors would rule over the losers as masters and treat them as slaves. For centuries the world continuously harbor chaos, with no solution to it, we'd have to adapt and stay stronger against difficulty and hardship.

However, countries whose wealth were taken by the predators, would work so hard to purchase what was her own at a higher rate. Survival ethics is the right term, the cat won't live in a room where there is no rat. Similarly, most big nations depend on the resources of smaller countries to strive economically.

yep the modern world ""pretends"" to want equality but then doesnt want socialism
the world ""pretends"" veganism is the future but prefers capitalism, carnivorism, and survival of the fittest

we do live our lives by our basic instincts of our cave men origins. self preservation and finding solutions where we win and make our lives better and easier for ourselves. this does mean it incurs a predator mentality whereby our needs mean more than others in all things like life, economics, food and survival

we have not really changed over thousands of years the need for old religions to control greed, glutany and basic morals shows our ancestors had the same problems. we however do things now faster, easier and with newer technologies.. but nothings really changed in thousands of years

Predatorship is a kind of feeding system where a predator feed's on its victim known as the prey, that is also the way the world Economy is  been structured to run, somebody will say this is a conspiracy theory.
Looking at how world events has taken place over time I have come to the conclusion that there is a system that is silently working without many noticing that it's Predatorship where a predator with a much greater strength feeds on its prey that is helpless.

From the time of military conquest where stronger nations will attack and capture smaller nation's and take them captives and turn them into slave and start working for them thereby increasing the country military and Economic wealth and allot of nation's or empire emerge such as Egyptian empire, Persian, Greek and finally the Roman empire all of these great nation's came to limelight through Predatorship feeding on the wealth of weaker nation's as the nation's they defeated pay tribute to them and keep there Economies running.
To the Time of the agricultural age which begot the Slave trade stronger nations capture and bought slave to work on their farm so they can feed their population and finally Slave was no longer sustainable and it was collapsed to colonisation where stronger nations use military force to rule and govern smaller nation's and extracted and exploited other nations wealth to increase their economic strength and feed their population

Infact the development of Europe was accelerated during the colonial time as the wealth of the smaller colonies was used in building what is known as the so called developed European society it was as a result of Predatorship. infact till today the results of this deadly association of prey and Predatorship is still visible as the prey which is basically the third world Nation's are basically struggling to stand because of the prey that has fed and injured it very well.
And till today the post colonial Economies too are basically practicing Predatorship as smaller nation's basically live and align with the foreign policies and dictate of bigger nation's.
