Its laughable that you can actually sit here with a straight face and say capitalism has no such involvement, much less a negative one, in any war, and actually believe what you are saying. Modern wars of any kind always involve a state and classes. Last I checked, these were among the critical elements of what makes a capitalist system what it is.
What is laughable is your reliance on Kevin Simpsons unsourced article. In looking through a dozen of his ST articles, I can see why he is appealing. He also writes as you do, without source, or citation, by declaration alone, and he also blames every conceivable evil in this world on capitalism, and the only solution is the workers collective.
Sudan had been independent from British colonial rule since 1956. I can accept it had challenges, as have other former colonies, but that was two generations ago. He does mention it falling sway to Soviet bloc, but of course gives no credit to communism or socialism for its 50 years of war and stagnation.
What causes hemorrhoids? Let me guess. Is it again Capitalism?
