>makes a point about taking high-value-added production out of the hands of the global south at coup-point

>anarcho makes a smug point about a european country taking unrefined materials out of the hands of the global south at coup-point & taking the profits from the value-add of that extraction process as if it somehow undermines the first point (allthewhile ignoring the mass refinery industries in canada [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [i can go on])

>hundreds of the most gullible anticommunist schmucks actually think thats a good counter & reblog to own the tankies

#canada is european #& most of the unrefined exports of canada are domestically extracted crude petroleum #& GUESS WHO BUYS 97% OF THAT CRUDE YOU'LL NEVER GUESS #(hint its the country that has the most pipelines across their shared border) #((wonder how many countries have shared borders with canada....its a mystery)) #crude petrol is like the only major commodity that canada doesnt do most of the refinement in.... #tho they do refine enough to.........get this........satisfy their domestic consumption needs #while having enough leftover to export #& guess what....they actually did export comparable amount of refined/value-added petroleum products vs their crude exports til like... #...the mid 00's #even if all this easily searchable refinement wasnt the case.....'we take the profits from your extraction' is still taking added-value.... #'unworked land' vs 'worked land' is a value-add........like duh
