Predation taking advantage of parasite load. Where admittedly, parasite load often meant "Hadn't industrialized yet, because they lacked the raw materials"
-
The examples I'm thinking of for *pure* parasite load tend to be either Communist Revolutions (spotting KGB and AK-47 drops) or carefully not considering Napoleon to be a rebuilding of Monarchic France. /Or Reagan a continuation of FDR.
