but to say that African nations are all dogshit because "lol black people" is ignorant of historical events

2019-03-11 07:40:18 UTC  

African nations are dog shit and it is not because of the white man.

2019-03-11 07:40:49 UTC  

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.

2019-03-11 07:41:19 UTC  

Ethiopia was taken over by IIRC the Portuguese in one of the bloodiest African wars for independence of the 20th century

2019-03-11 07:41:46 UTC  

they suffered massively, women and children were burned by the europeans because they wanted them as a colony

2019-03-11 07:42:34 UTC  

Invaded by Italy in WW2

2019-03-11 07:42:35 UTC  

It was almost as bad as the Belgian Congo

2019-03-11 07:42:50 UTC  

Someone's been to African History class

2019-03-11 07:43:17 UTC  

I studied this like 5 years ago

2019-03-11 07:43:17 UTC  

Sadly you actually believe everything you're told

2019-03-11 07:43:34 UTC  

So have I.

2019-03-11 07:43:48 UTC  

I had to take the same shit in college too

2019-03-11 07:44:10 UTC  

I studied this stuff independently because I was interested in it

2019-03-11 07:44:25 UTC  

I studied it in college and independently

2019-03-11 07:44:31 UTC  

the only college course I took on Africa was a developing nations economics class and it was slanted as hell against socialism

2019-03-11 07:44:33 UTC  

Only I chose not to believe everything I read

2019-03-11 07:44:48 UTC  

Careful, your red is showing

2019-03-11 07:45:04 UTC  

sure it's not the blood in your eyes

2019-03-11 08:31:06 UTC  

Dear lord. Socialism=/=Communism.

2019-03-11 08:31:23 UTC  

Extreme Capitalism is just as retarded as communism.

2019-03-11 08:31:52 UTC  

One oppresses the poor with monopolies, the other with the government.

2019-03-11 09:31:48 UTC  

Damn Yangsgang have infiltrated most meme pages in fb

2019-03-11 09:32:44 UTC  

@Iakovos Socialism is the first steps a country needs to do, to become a communistic state

2019-03-11 09:36:15 UTC  

*clears throat*

2019-03-11 09:38:10 UTC  

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

2019-03-11 09:38:34 UTC  

Socialism, however, did exist long before communism was actually a formal thought by Karl Marx, but that does not somehow justify or legitimize it

2019-03-11 09:38:52 UTC  

he simply took its concept, and applied it to his theory of how communism would supplant capitalism

2019-03-11 09:39:05 UTC

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

2019-03-11 09:40:09 UTC  

Extreme capitalism would be Laissez-faire Capitalism

2019-03-11 09:40:29 UTC  

As little government regulation and restriction as possible

2019-03-11 09:41:20 UTC  

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

2019-03-11 09:42:00 UTC  

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

2019-03-11 09:42:27 UTC  

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

2019-03-11 09:42:34 UTC  

It's always important to keep in perspective the times

2019-03-11 09:43:22 UTC  

Every capitalism since heavy reform and regulation occurred is a mixed economy that is predominantly capitalist

2019-03-11 09:43:57 UTC  

Now, it may have existed in special instances that I am not aware of, but I am speaking in general terms

2019-03-11 09:45:07 UTC  

You forgot to add that socialism is making people to be depended on the Government 😛

2019-03-11 09:45:19 UTC  

that's the point of the transitional stage

2019-03-11 09:45:49 UTC  

the USSR isn't called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics for nothing

2019-03-11 09:49:10 UTC  

I meant the capitalism we have today where the government is paying big bucks to corporations to do shady shit, and vice versa.
