Two examples - Korea and Indonesia - will be documented here in order to display that America's Cold War against communism was/is a cover-story, or deceptive cloak, for a war actually against the poor (and the political left) in all nations: in other words, a fascist war, meaning that America's Government became fascist-imperialist as soon as World War II ended, despite FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt - America's President throughout WW II) having been passionately anti-fascist and anti-imperialist.

Abstract:

Excerpt:

In third-world countries, where labor is non-unionized and cheap, an international corporation can supply the latest industrial machinery, to be worked by the fewest dirt-wage workers in order to undercut the prices of any merely intranational (or "local") corporation while still making intranational (within-nation) profits that are vastly higher than any merely local corporations (which are competing against the multinational ones) in any country can and do; and this is the secret of billionaires (who control international corporations) by which they consequently generate vastly higher rates of return on investment than any merely local entrepreneurs possibly can. Offshoring production thus greatly increases return-on-investment for the billionaires while it drives wages down for the workers in the industrialized countries. On a global scale, it's a war by the super-rich against the poor. In both respects (by lowering wages in industrialized countries, and prohibiting labor unions in the banana republics), the result is to cause an ever-increasing proportion of the world's wealth to become concentrated amongst the billionaires, the people who control international corporations. From the standpoint of billionaires, it's the system that surpasses any other. From the standpoint of the world's poor, however, it is the worst system imaginable, because it funnels wealth from the masses to the classes (the super-rich); it impoverishes billions while pouring a bigger and bigger share of the world's wealth into the control of the world's mere 3,000-or-so billionaires. That's the way the world works and ever-increasingly has worked ever since 1945.
