Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high

“Western” means rule of law, democracy, private property, open markets, respect for the individual, diversity, pluralism of opinion, and all the other freedoms that we enjoy, which we sometimes take for granted....
When were "western" values created and did those values not exist already anywhere else?

I don't know that those listed values are exclusively western. They may just be values.

It's a philosophy made by a German who was inspired by other western economist and western philosophers

and was inspired by German society of the time so yes it is is a western value .... and it was spread through the world by Europeans

I didn't say nun bout geopolitics either communism is a idea that was created by Europeans inspired by Europeans that by definition is western the first communist countries were in Europe ....

Communism wasn't born in the in India or feudalist China it was born by Europeans in the industrial age.
