It won't work
Immigration makes this worse
I don't understand.
If you Import the few intellectual and economically upper class Africans from another country, After time passes it destroys the African country as they are devoid of those who can innovate and invest. Eventually the poor Africans come in as economic refugees, and then Everything is fucked.
I don't see how poor people destroy a country.
Unless you are using redistribution, poor people at worst do nothing.
Because poor people are bad with money
They can't innovate and invest
They are essentially dead weight
But they don't go out of their way to harm the economy.
They harm it regardless of their intentions
And how do they harm it?
By existing?
Welfare consumption, foreign and domestic aid, not working and supporting the market
But welfare and aid are because governments and cultures CHOOSE to pursue welfare and aid.
Those are leftist economic choices, not intrinsic to the poor.
@MinecraftMemer in attempt to lift them out of poorness so they can contribute to the economy
If we do nothing, they won't harm the economy.
They'll just remain poor.
So the issue isn't welfare?
Which is proven to reduce morale
Welfare is an issue because it doesn't sufficiently lift people out of poverty
Therefore it's a misallocation of money and resources
So then why have welfare in the first place?
It's a waste
@MinecraftMemer because it's good for re-election
So you're suggesting elections are the problems?
I prefer job fairs over welfare
Elections are a problem yes
Temporarily anyways
Democracy is dangerous to competent statecraft because it forces every political decision to be lowered to a level of stupidity that the masses can understand.
If welfare is intrinsic to democracies, then it would be logical to have a different style of government.
In that case, we would have monarchies.
I disagree
Monarchies are almost never concerned about their nation
I would say quite the opposite.
Nationalism is incompatible with monarchies
Nationalism did not exist during the age of monarchs
This is history
