  3. <She is perfect example Africans or blacks people who talks shit from the corner of their necks when they get the " Western Brainwashed education" and little favors from The West they become "Educated Fools" just like her and think they know everything.> Would you say the same for Kwame Nkrumah and many other post-colonial African leaders who got their education from the very same West?

  4.  @ludlowaloysius  Exactly. Case in point: Cuba where taxi-drivers and prostitutes earn more than doctors and engineers.

  9. <In the 60s Ghana was heaven. > Thanks to the wealth the British left behind at independence. <CIA with the helped of some Ghanaian elites overthrown him in a military coup> But before that, Nkrumah fell out of favor with the general public as the country struggled and was barely able to feed itself.

  11. Because well all forms of socialism either straight-up failed or capitalism's giving it the illusion of success.

  12. <Socialism is not bad if properly done.> No. Socialism is "not bad" when it's propped up by capitalism. Tanzania under Nyerere proved that socialism does not work even when "properly done." <Ask this woman to explain why China achieved BRI when it was under US surveillance> Market reforms.

  13. And leaves whole countries in ruin.

  22. Capitalism. And many countries in Europe are prospering in spite of socialism, not due to it as they are capitalist welfare states.

  23.  @mikahel.m.i9217  What are YOU writing? Capitalism is the reason European countries even have the money to fund their social programs. And by the way social programs are not socialist.

  24. The IMF and World Bank are consequences of mismanagement and bad economic policy that socialism is infamous for.

  29. Nyerere wasn't interfered with and he had the least amount of excuses as to why socialism in Tanzania failed. Mengistu and Barre were Soviet puppets. Ratsiraka was left alone.
