does Imperialism violate the NAP?

Imperialism is a direct result of globalized markets. Wealthy first world capitalists buy out farmland and factories in small third world countries. They pay the governments to protect their property and ensure that the bulk of wealth generated in that country flows to them. All of this goes on without the workers consent. So this leaves these countries poor- without access to healthcare, clean water etc. This is why the countries that are the most resource rich tend to be the poorest. Along the equator and throughout the global south. I believe this is a form of violence. This system is enforced by the governments- and those governments are funded by multinational corporations.

So this brings up the question- do you believe the workers have the right to fight back? This typically takes the form of a Communist movement. Almost every third world nation (majority of countries in the world) have had some form of communist movement that rejects globalism and imperialism.

If your answer is no, they shouldn’t be able to fight back- then how could you consider yourself a libertarian? Isn’t libertarianism about letting people do what they want? And resisting violent oppression?

Countless times this has happened. When there is a revolution in these countries, the 1st world capitalists response is to fund a fascist coup in these countries to reinforce global commodity chains- to keep the profits flowing to them.

Call me crazy, but I think a country should produce for its own people. Not a single country in this world is content with producing for others and seeing no benefit. This is a parasitic and violently oppressive relationship.

Should they be allowed to fight back? Does global capitalism inherently violate the “NAP” ?
