Congo definitely wasn't.

No one is going to be able to provide any evidence otherwise. Africa is the best example of what North America would be if the USA hadn't been founded.

There’s no argument to the contrary. Every country on the continent is a shite hole. Even the marginal success stories, are horrible when compared to the rest of the world.

Do you mean in terms of roads and bridges, extraction, exports to colonial powers, or the quality of life?

Still, King Leo encouraged one really horrible shite.

The world would have been better off if Europe placed a blockade around Africa and made it the death penalty to land on those shores.

Yes.
A large part of the infrastructure is the crumbling remains of what the colonial powers built while they were there.

I mean, the problem is Europeans don’t understand the tribal mindset, so I’m unsure what’s true, but what I am sure of is the Europeans from centuries past are primarily responsible for it. Belgium’s treatment of the Congo is on the level of any war crime the Nazis did. Could be as high as 15 million people being murdered. Sorry, save for like Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Ethiopia their cultures aren’t built around nation states.

Before colonialism Africa was living like kings and queens on the beautiful resources that mother Africa provided. No infrastructure to move around the white mans viruses.

When Whitey showed up the natives were killing, raping, and enslaving each other. Actually, not much has changed.

Meh. I think every country should stop meddling in Africa. It may forever be a backwards continent, but that's their own choice.
