I don't blame white people for anything, I'm saying there are a *large* number of reasons why things are the way they are
And none of it has to do with colonialism. Colonies all over the world have done just fine.
but to say that African nations are all dogshit because "lol black people" is ignorant of historical events
African nations are dog shit and it is not because of the white man.
Whatever other reasons there are, it can't be blamed on white people. Some of them have been free for over a century. Ethiopia has never been a colony to my knowledge.
Ethiopia was taken over by IIRC the Portuguese in one of the bloodiest African wars for independence of the 20th century
they suffered massively, women and children were burned by the europeans because they wanted them as a colony
Invaded by Italy in WW2
It was almost as bad as the Belgian Congo
Someone's been to African History class
I studied this like 5 years ago
Sadly you actually believe everything you're told
So have I.
I had to take the same shit in college too
I studied this stuff independently because I was interested in it
I studied it in college and independently
the only college course I took on Africa was a developing nations economics class and it was slanted as hell against socialism
Only I chose not to believe everything I read
Careful, your red is showing
sure it's not the blood in your eyes
Extreme Capitalism is just as retarded as communism.
One oppresses the poor with monopolies, the other with the government.
Damn Yangsgang have infiltrated most meme pages in fb
@Iakovos Socialism is the first steps a country needs to do, to become a communistic state
*clears throat*
In Marxist theory, socialism is the transitional period between capitalism and communism. It is the economic practice that communist states always attempt to implement, because communism is not as much economics as it is blueprints for a utopian society. Socialism, though it aims for utopia, is meant to still work in society as we know it. It is essentially a tool for equalizing everyone out and making everyone equal to one another through redistribution of wealth. Even though it is not communism, it is similar and heavily related
Socialism, however, did exist long before communism was actually a formal thought by Karl Marx, but that does not somehow justify or legitimize it
he simply took its concept, and applied it to his theory of how communism would supplant capitalism

Likewise, extreme capitalism has not truly existed since the early days of the Industrial Revolution. Crony capitalism, corporatism, etc are forms of capitalism, but do not represent what is traditionally thought of when you say "extreme capitalism". If you mean either of those, then please use those terms instead
Extreme capitalism would be Laissez-faire Capitalism
As little government regulation and restriction as possible
Even though it did use child labor and other things we may say are reprehensible by modern standards, you cannot call extreme capitalism some evil thing, because it made life so much easier than it was prior to its implementation
Medicine, the standard of living, technology, and of course the inevitable rise in making rules to make workers more comfortable all came out of the Industrial Revolution's unregulated brand of capitalism
But most people do not think about that, they're too busy vilifying it cuz children worked in coal mines and lost fingers in textile mills
It's always important to keep in perspective the times
Every capitalism since heavy reform and regulation occurred is a mixed economy that is predominantly capitalist
Now, it may have existed in special instances that I am not aware of, but I am speaking in general terms
You forgot to add that socialism is making people to be depended on the Government 😛
that's the point of the transitional stage
