40 years ago

Angola , Benin,Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Mozambique,, Tanzania, and Zambia, Zimbabwe and others

also, socialism destroyed south america

They bought into it because they felt capitalism was colonialism

Then socialism prevented their economies from advancing

....so what happened since then?

present day

Okay this is just excuses and special pleading.

Successful countries are rare. Successful countries can build successful capitalisms.

India is as succesful as it's capitalism

Successful capitalist countries are pretty common

Socialism leads to military dictatorships

50 years of capitalism being unable to unfuck 6 years of thirdworldist maybe socialism isn't a great record.

when india tried to be more socialist, it got burned

Africa doesn't have great leadership

Capitalism can't unfuck Africa

They have governments that are socialist

Which destroyed their prosperity

And often don't want to invite capitalism in

socialism is ingrained into their minds

same with south Americans

If you don't try capitalism capitalism can't save you

This is just notruefeminism

Indians too

These were literal socialist countries

S ocialists who deny the market aren't true capitalists

Were. Before you were born.

Own the failures and allow some nuance ffs. You might even be right overall.

Own the failures of socialist nations like Zimbabwe ?

Own Cameroon.

Own Comoros.

do they have ethnic crisis

Ancaps lol.

Please explain relevance.

because, it's not the fault of colonialism that they aren't developing now

The economy of Cameroon was one of the most prosperous in Africa for a quarter of a century after independence. The drop in commodity prices for its principal exports —petroleum, cocoa, coffee, and cotton — in the mid-1980s, combined with an overvalued currency and economic mismanagement, led to a decade-long recession. Real per capita GDP fell by more than 60% from 1986 to 1994. The current account and fiscal deficits widened, and foreign debt grew. Yet because of its oil reserves and favorable agricultural conditions, Cameroon still has one of the best-endowed primary commodity economies in sub-Saharan Africa.[15]

doesn't sound the worst

ethnic crisis in africa is not a colonialist construct

I am not blaming colonialism for present day problems

you where a while ago

Recent signs, however, are encouraging. As of March 1998, Cameroon's fifth IMF program — a 3-year enhanced structural adjustment program approved in August 1997 — is on track. Cameroon has rescheduled its Paris Club debt at favorable terms. GDP has grown by about 5% a year beginning in 1995. There is cautious optimism that Cameroon is emerging from its long period of economic hardship.
