      @@khwezelihleshongwe5271 I don’t get your point. There’s countries with autocrats that don’t depend on oil or a single revenue base. China, Russia for example. There’s also countries diversifying their economies like the UAE, the Saudi’s,Qatar, Kuwait, Botswana. Why you making it set in stone that the only base of revenue will be oil? If the British managed to expand from solely depending on their colonies then what’s stopping Brunei?

Parliament makes decisions contrary to public opinion routinely. You think you have a say till the politicians go to Dabos, the WEF or some UN convention and start dictating laws no one asked for. The world is run by de facto monarchs. We’re just given the illusion that the power is in our hands.

    The original nobody needs nothing there's nothing in the desert ,which is to say the british mad dam sure they had the first access to oil after doing the geological surveys way back in the late 1880's and then made sure they had all the main political aspects of those countries controlled through wealth via the oil till the arab states realised wait a minute its our oil we control the price and how much oil flows, which is why the USA stepped in and started the cost of a barrel of oil and how much oil is made into various products, the opium trade via the golden triangle and then the railways was the first real world magnates.
    Also the richest person in the world back then was a chinese person who had something like a couple of trillion dollars to spend, he controlled all the merchant routes around the world at that time and also the people who harvested all the goods which was sold all over the world. His name was Howqua, a Qing dynasty merchant who on the eve of the First Opium War (1839-42) was believed to be not just the foremost Chinese tycoon but the richest man on Earth. 👌✌👍🦘
