In the instance of gold I have no clue about the parties you've listed (capitalists, colonialists, fascists, communists, Catholics, Jews, Freemasons, whites, blacks, extra-terrestrials, the Devil) expect two culprits(Goldman Sacs and short sellers). As far as the others? Actually looks like I fit with a couple of them.

<In my view, people are largely makers of their own destiny>
Individuals maybe, nations no. If you were born in Russia, China or an Indian subcontinent even as an individual your chances of creating your own destiny are almost nil. And if you tried to move out and start the new life the scream about immigrants will wake you up.
Are you convinced that the problems South Africa is facing now wouldn't change if there was 4% unemployment?
I know lots of places in the world where companies are being bought with one goal in sight - change them into distribution centers. Corrupt people are in every country and to get yourself elected anywhere in the world you have to be corrupt.
