When colonizers left, they didn't do it in a way that set up their former colonies for success. They drew country boarders in ways that made no sense that led to serious ethnic tensions within individual countries. They took what they wanted and bailed, and didn't give a shite about the people they fricked over.
And communism will work this time right?

No one met with more African dictators that President Barack Hussein Obama.
Every single one of those guys rules by force, does not allow free elections, murders political opponents, has no due process or independent legal system, has killed thousands of people, engages in corruption and graft, imprisons people at whim, tortures people, persecutes homosexuals (and I mean really persecutes, not like what democrats claim happens here), and more.
Remember when the democrats and media said it was beneath the presidency for Trump to meet with Kim to try and deescalate nuclear war?
I do.
Remember Obama’s Nobel peace prize?
I do.

Look how well off they all look (both black and white) compared to today!
99% of those people you see in the video are gone from the country
Weird to ponder
When a Crocodile Eats the Sun
It's a non-fiction account of white family told from the perspective of the son who moved off to London and would come home to visit the parents periodically. The deterioration was scary.

for the record, Communism's imperial aims are alive and well in this day....in Africa
China is taking over the continent
the difference in the West and East is that eastern cultures do not have guilt complexes like we have developed. China doesn't give one frick that it's exploiting SSA and won't for the next 1,000 years.

Yeah weird. It's almost like natives were still unhappy about colonialism or something.
So their remedy is to turn their country into a shithole?

Used to have a client that owned a couple mines in the Congo and sold them to a Chinese company. One of the guys that used to go there said all the locals knew what was coming and it wasn't going to be pretty. The Chinese are like colonial Europeans on steroids. At least the Europeans would invest in infrastructure, etc. The Chinese DGAF.

I'm telling you. The incoming Chinese invasion will have that entire continent begging for Western intervention within the next decade.

even if this amazingly modernistic, moral argument is 100% true it becomes irrelevant when they were stuck so far in their respective pasts that they were ripe for conquer. that's what happens to societies living in the past: they are conquered by modern societies who have developed new technology that gives them power over out-dated societies
we can cry about this all we want but it's an important part of our historical development

you're making the Brits out to be like Leopold which is silly
the Chinese will be MUCH worse, relatively speaking in terms of time, than the English

I'm not arguing that. You are right.

the Chinese are the fricking BORG and their assimilation of SSA will leave nothing but devastation and pollution in their wake
