Leopold
[edit]okay lets get into this since you blocked me on discord despite me wanting to have a discussion with you. but lets go through all of the claims on leopold. if you would unblock me I can send the sources for my claims. I subscribe to the historical consensus of Belgian historians before hochschild came in with his political biases and terrible historian work and marketized an atrocity story out of thin air
- File:LeopoldII.png Leopold II Thought/Congo Free State Model File:Cball-CongoFreeState.png
File:Antiblack.png Anti-Black Racism (no doubt about this as this was common to the time period and coincides with white mans burden)
- File:CapitalistAuto.png Autocracy(the authority was under Leopold but the degree of control is disputed as the congo is such a wide territory and power was delegated accordingly across the region.
- File:Avar.png Avaritionism going to need a source on this one as Leopold's congo was not the purge or had Avaritionism elements it was a labour based land because of lack of currency and acted like a prison.
- File:Burgsys icon.png
Burgundian Systemthis is funny so it can stay since it has strikethrough - File:Cannibalism Legalization.png Cannibalism[1] this own citation says cannibalism was not legalized and they tried to stop it but were underequippe to do so. legalization is a very specific term and if you knew law you would know this
- File:Colonial.png Colonialism(checks out)
- File:AuthCorp.png CorporatocracyChecks out
- File:Ethno.png Ethnocracychecks out with white mans burden
- File:Imp.png Imperialism checks out white mans burden
- File:MonKrat.png Monarcho-Kraterocracy this I have a problem with because why would the Belgians create hospitals for the Congolese tribes and stop them from eating pygmies if they believe in kraterocracy.
- File:Genocidal Capitalism.png National Capitalism genocide requires an intent to kill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRDyitlHVRA&t=300s this entire video details all the requirements to reach a genocide and the congo was doing its best to make a profitable enterprise which would make killing its worker
- File:Plutocrat.png Plutocracy sure Leopold was rich
- File:Slavery.png Slave Economy
- File:Darwinist.png Social Darwinism only 1 article came up that made the assertion that all europeans believed in social darwinism but did not back it up by specific policy or statements to correlate this so this is one I removed
- File:PMC.png Stratocracy File:WarCrim-Antifurry.png military did enforce order
- File:Terrorist.png Terrorism (how did they do terrorism?)
- File:Butcher.png Totalitarianism (this is a very specific term that ties into complete control over the lives of people which was not true in the congo due to mismanagement and lack of police presence in the area
- File:WhiteCap.png White Capitalism checks out
