Okay then you should have no problem telling me it in a nutshell then.

2018-03-04 04:48:07 UTC  

and therefore water rights

2018-03-04 04:48:16 UTC  

and the companies who use that land sold,

2018-03-04 04:48:22 UTC  

farm for export back to the west

2018-03-04 04:48:24 UTC  

Like a quick summary.

2018-03-04 04:48:36 UTC  

and when I say sell, I mean they lease

2018-03-04 04:48:42 UTC  

but they lease for stupid long periods of time

2018-03-04 04:48:44 UTC  

like 100 years

2018-03-04 04:48:46 UTC  

Hmm?

2018-03-04 04:48:50 UTC  

and that money doesnt go back into the economy

2018-03-04 04:48:54 UTC  

it goes back to paying debts

2018-03-04 04:49:25 UTC  

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.

2018-03-04 04:50:08 UTC  

Yes because they arent using it to combat those issues...

2018-03-04 04:50:14 UTC  

they use it to both maintain the security of the state

2018-03-04 04:50:21 UTC  

I'm going to play some vg. Cya later.

2018-03-04 04:50:23 UTC  

and pay off debt lmao

2018-03-04 04:50:27 UTC  

Like,

2018-03-04 04:50:55 UTC  

there are a large number of african countries who export more agricultural product than they take in in the form of food aid

2018-03-04 04:50:56 UTC  

Clearly not to maintain the state, since corruption, crime, and insurgent warlords are common.

2018-03-04 04:51:10 UTC  

No, maintain the state as in maintain those players involved in corruption

2018-03-04 04:51:14 UTC  

and they fight off warlords

2018-03-04 04:51:30 UTC  

To pay off debts, most african countries just take out even BIGGER loans.

2018-03-04 04:51:36 UTC  

to pay off those debts

2018-03-04 04:51:41 UTC  

and to attract more investment

2018-03-04 04:51:42 UTC  

yes

2018-03-04 04:51:55 UTC  

they take out loans to get investors to come hoping the investments will stick, boost the economy

2018-03-04 04:52:03 UTC  

and allow them to make profit to pay debts

2018-03-04 04:52:05 UTC  

and they dont

2018-03-04 04:52:05 UTC  

or,

2018-03-04 04:52:09 UTC  

Pic related is zimbabwe, this is how bad it has gotten over there.

2018-03-04 04:52:15 UTC  

yes I know

2018-03-04 04:52:17 UTC  

but agian

2018-03-04 04:52:22 UTC  

its been the prevailing order since the 70s

2018-03-04 04:52:34 UTC  

its either on purpose as a byproduct of neoliberalism,

2018-03-04 04:52:44 UTC  

or its a terrible failure of economic policy from the western world

2018-03-04 04:52:55 UTC  

Nope, they had a coup detat a few months ago, in which mugabe was ousted.

2018-03-04 04:52:59 UTC  

in which case, they're profiting heavily from an accident

2018-03-04 04:53:06 UTC  

why are you saying nope

2018-03-04 04:53:12 UTC  

what does that have to do with what i said.

2018-03-04 04:53:16 UTC  

I know mugabe had a coup,
