Beginning in the 16th century, the enclosure acts in England dismantled former property rights under the commons and forcibly made way for private property. This was done by private militaries burning down communal villages and chasing people off the land. You obviously know that the United States was built on stolen land from the indigenous population. Colonialism in Africa still leaves a majority of private property in the hands of white owners, out of the hands of the indigenous there.
Even today we have laws designed to drive people off their land, do away with communal living and force people into capitalist factories. This was done in Europe centuries ago but is still done in the era of neoliberalism. NAFTA dispossessed 2 million Mexican farmers of their land, took away communal property rights and flat out allowed for the seizure of land (precisely why the Zapatista uprising happened in 1994).
Investments with the World Bank, IMF and developing nations are designed to enrich the elite while looting the poor of the wealth they produce. This is why more wealth leaves Africa than goes in. Free trade policies applied to nations that didn’t have capitalism before are making people impoverished, when they were previously self-sustaining and didn’t depend on small amounts of money.
