What's the purpose of it?
Capitalism would not collapse if Grenada remained revolutionary
And Reagan was right
It wasn't a matter of direct resources that you needed from that countryHe said, "Nutmeg is not the question"
I mean, that was Grenada's biggest export
We could get perfectly good nutmeg from Africa
You don't need Grenada's nutmegSo why did they invade Grenada?
They invaded Grenada because they were serving notice
To the people of the Caribbean
And to the people of Latin America, and to the people of the world
That you cannot drop out of your client-state free-market systemThat if you tried to take an independent source
And that if you use your land, your labor, your resources
And your capital, and your markets in a different way
In a collectivist wayIf you use them to benefit the needs of your people
Rather than to be milked like a cow for foreign investors
If you do that
This is what's going to happen to youThe sinner bows at the feet of the dead
No souls to save just hope for an early grave
