The article states in relation to capitalism and the congo¨the invention of the rubber tire. If people hadn’t demanded so much rubber, these atrocities never would have happened. ¨

n the text section 1 it provides the reason for the created rush is because of capitalism it says.

¨King Leopold II knew that in a few years, those trees would be mature enough to tap into for their rubber. This meant that the supply of rubber was going to increase and would lower the price of rubber. When this happened, King Leopold II would not be able to make nearly as much profit. ¨

This means that the demand for rubber is the same. So meeting the quotas for the demand makes money according to capitalism. However this creates the urgency percent which created the terrible conditions. The format creates the original problem. Capitalism, the monster creates an excuse to be a monster.

So Profits will continue as long as your supply matches your demand. You're motivated to continue to harvest all resources as long as it's profitable. This creates disaster as people hurt the environment and people, they harvest the resources from. Without a limit for profit there are no limits to what you take and what you give out. This of course has feeded climate change, hurt nature and filled the ocean with plastic. All because there are no limits.

King Leopold benefited from the system of capitalism and was able to exploit the rubber boon in-order to make money

¨your greed had no bounds and you were obsessed with competing with other colonial masters.¨

King Leopold was quickly able to gain full control of the Congo and filled it full of solders ready to exploit the people that originally lived there. He exploited the rubber industry and killed millions becuase of his greed.

¨you were just using these organizations as a facade for your real motives: money and power.¨

807215 — 2024-04-18 19:51:42 UTC

King Leopold created fake organizations in-order to trick people into thinking he was a good person. While the world was fooled he extracted resources and money from the Congo. He exploited and kidnapped in-order to make money.

¨Once your crimes were discovered you sold your colony to the Belgian government. Knowing they would continue your exploitation.¨

This evidence proves that King Leopold is a monster. Even when he was discovered he did not end the genocide. Conclusion he is guilty for the atrocity committed.
