What do you thing motivated the Belgians in the Congo, Tim?

I don't know what motivates many people today, let alone people who died before I was born, but I saw posts of yours about them being motivated by money and that doesn't seem unlikely.

So, in your opinion anything that is motivated by money is capitalism? In that case you have a rather distorted definition of capitalism. I'm not defending the word capitalism. I defend free markets. If some one wants to enslave others or seize property or even restrict imports so that they can make more money then whatever you call them I will oppose them.
