Modest Proposal Draft

A Modest Proposal
FOR THE ABOLISHMENT OF MODERN COLONIZATION AND THE ENHANCEMENT OF RESOURCE TRADE
Just imagine the following scenario: You are a child of approximately 10 years old who has to work all day in a copper mine. The people who told you to work in the copper mine are from abroad and sailed over to Africa in order to extract copper and other mineral resources and bring it back home. They are armed and force your people to do this job every day. If someone does not obey to their commands, he gets whipped or even shot. You are living in constant fear because you do not know what is going to happen the next day. Three of your brothers are already dead because of overexertion. You wonder how long you will survive in this hell which used to be your beloved home.

I have to admit that this scenario is hard to imagine for us who live in the Western part of the world. Yet, there are parts in the world like Africa in which this seemingly absurd scenario is in fact reality. When I was informed by these alarming circumstances in Africa, I knew that I had to step forward and take actions in order to fight these inhumane and utterly devastating conditions.Colonization is still a present issue in this world. Back in the past it used to be practiced by our ancestors and today this is done by large corporations which colonize the poor countries and exploit the native people.It is thus up to us, inhabitants of the developed world, to gather our courage in order to fight the evil called colonization and promote freedom and equality in the world.Therefore, I suggest the following strategy: We should wipe out the African continent by the use of biological weapons so that the large corporations can extract all the resources on the continent, yet without colonizing and exploiting the local people.

Now, people might ask the question where we should get biological weapons from, but I can assure all critics that every nation which has these weapons in their possession will happily cede them because our purpose would give them an opportunity to test their weapons and find out how much harm they can indeed create.

Aside from the abolishment of modern colonization, my plan has to offer many other advantages which I am going to elaborate on in this proposal.
Due to the termination of the African population, it is now less costly for the corporations to extract the resources on the continent. There are no such things as trade barriers or tariffs. In economic terms, this will lead to the firm’s supply curves to increase so that they can sell resources in greater quantities at lower prices. This will of course benefit the Western economy, because other firm’s costs would decrease as well since they can acquire the resource they need more cheaply. So in effect, there would be a general fall in the price level in the economy which could be accompanied by economic growth in the future. Given, the horrendously high inflation rates in today’s economy, my plan would definitely please the economists and be accepted by everyone who is concerned about our wealth and well-being.

A few weeks ago, I was told by a well-known professor for population research that one of the biggest evil in the world is overpopulation. I am convinced that my plan could solve this problem as we would reduce the world’s population and create new living space in Africa. I am especially concerned about places like India and China which are literally flooded by crowds of people. Therefore I suggest that we ship Chinese and Indian people over to Africa where they can start a new life. This plan, however, can only be realized by the help of the Chinese and Indian government who would have to pay for the fares and make all the ships and boats in their possession available to transfer the people over to Africa.Although I am aware that my plan might evoke a lot of opposition, I am firmly convinced that there are enough smart-thinking and innovative people out there who acknowledge my intent as a mile stone in the defense against the extinction of the human race.

Not only we can save humankind from extinction due to overpopulation, but we could also open up a new chapter in the technological advancement of the human species. The Indian and Chinese people in Africa are the key to this staggering success. Over time, these two population groups will mix and create a new Indo-Chinese race which will be the most intelligent group of people in the world. They will become the new elite workforce on the African continent which will be transformed into the epicenter of technology research as well as be used as a test ground for international space agencies and nuclear weapons manufacturers.I and my fellows are positive that this strategic move will lead to advancement technological advancement from which all nations could benefit.
