Okay then you should have no problem telling me it in a nutshell then.
and therefore water rights
and the companies who use that land sold,
farm for export back to the west
Like a quick summary.
and when I say sell, I mean they lease
but they lease for stupid long periods of time
like 100 years
Hmm?
and that money doesnt go back into the economy
it goes back to paying debts
100 years?
@Comrade Skeltal Liberia is such a fucking shitshow, it is a miracle that the country has not completely collapsed yet, when it get's to the point where they are given 771% of their governments expendenture in aid, and mass starvation, crime, riots, and warlords are common there, along with the president literally BEGGING people to stop rioting, it truly is a scene to behold.
Yes because they arent using it to combat those issues...
they use it to both maintain the security of the state
I'm going to play some vg. Cya later.
and pay off debt lmao
Like,
there are a large number of african countries who export more agricultural product than they take in in the form of food aid
Clearly not to maintain the state, since corruption, crime, and insurgent warlords are common.
and they fight off warlords
To pay off debts, most african countries just take out even BIGGER loans.
to pay off those debts
and to attract more investment
yes
they take out loans to get investors to come hoping the investments will stick, boost the economy
and allow them to make profit to pay debts
and they dont
or,
Pic related is zimbabwe, this is how bad it has gotten over there.
yes I know
but agian
its been the prevailing order since the 70s
its either on purpose as a byproduct of neoliberalism,
or its a terrible failure of economic policy from the western world
Nope, they had a coup detat a few months ago, in which mugabe was ousted.
in which case, they're profiting heavily from an accident
why are you saying nope
what does that have to do with what i said.
I know mugabe had a coup,
