  4. Because this is not America's issue. This is the issue of the Angolan government and the people of Angola.

  5. Their ancestors getting sold off to the Europeans and shipped out was a blessing in disguise.

  6. @ Zachary Xavier You know it was a revolution that brought Angola its current regime, right? A revolution for what? Replace right-wing oppressors with left-wing oppressors with a longer track record of cruelty, sometimes under the guise of kindness?

  8. There's hardly anything capitalist about Angola. The ruling party, MPLA, of the far-left.

  12. LOL. Angola is run by Marxists.

  13.  @664theneighbor5  Angola's healthcare is state-run just like most of its economy. And the inequality is mainly between government officials and the average person.

  14. Not their people, not their problem. Their obligation is to themselves and their own immediate families.

  15. That's more the Democratic Party. Most of the locales with the widest wealth gaps are run by them.

  16. And her late husband was the son of a Mobutu regime beneficiary.

  17. @ James Fischer It's been going on since the French Revolution.

  18. @ My Art Page Wrong! It's a socialist government that, like China, adopted capitalism to extend its own shelf-life.

  19.  @AngelicaRodriguez-mb2ld  By Christianity, that is.

  20.  @nkreseknowledge2241  Thank the White man for buying out your ancestors from the African kings and shipping them out to the Americas.

  21. <The Greek state educates their people and then the Germans reap the benefits. Doesn't make any sense whatsoever.> It's not Germany's fault that the Greek state has nothing to offer their people to make it worthwhile to stay in Greece. "Greedy" Greeks do not owe their fellow (equally greedy) citizens anything.

  22. @SoyuzNkk The only no-so-poor socialist countries are the ones that adopted capitalism (China, Vietnam) or discovered oil (Angola).

  23.  @sabrinaaa417  You mean socialism in which everyone except the ruling class are at the bottom like in Cuba and North Korea.

  24.  @joebazooks  Yeah, and socialism was a complete success everywhere it was practiced including Sudan itself. LOL

  25.  @credinzel6996  Because we're every bit as greedy, lazy and selfish as they supposed are. But with the added distinction of being envious.

  26. Um. Angola's corruption is entirely due to the Marxist anti-imperialist regime that's been calling the shots for the last 36+ years.

  27. That's basically their social safety net since their country is too poor and underdeveloped for one.

  28. It's only very recently that Angola has held free elections. It's been a (Marxist) dictatorship since its independence.

  29. @ AI AC Not exactly. In socialism/communism, the government gets all and everyone else is SOL.

  30. Like Romania and Cambodia?

  31. A Democrat-run city?

  32. Billionaires such the Dos Santos's and the MPLA top brass.

  35. It goes to the government of the recipient country as it controls what comes in and what goes out.

  36. @ hardtogetnamehere It's the price of valuing free stuff over freedom.

  37. T & T isn't a Black country, though. It's a largely South Asian country with a significant Black presence, like Guyana.

  38. What's so wrong with people looking out for their own? Humans being incapable of governing themselves and corrupt are the reason why the government, hierarchies, religion, the police, etc. exist in the first place.

  39. Portuguese. Angola is an ex-Portuguese colony.

  40.  @comradeboris167  Yes it did.

  41. Angola is far from capitalist, comrade!

  42. Because they run the country pretty much unopposed.

  43. Nah. All these miseries were caused by Chavez and Maduro. The US has nothing to do with this.

  44. And North Korea alreadys gets help from China.

  45. Does that include you?
    1
  46. Because they still run the show. And the new President is a long-time party lackey.

  47.  @gameaholicsanonymous775  I'm Black and I agree.

  48. @Florides BB And yet Africans couldn't be bothered to develop some kind of infrastructure or technology to make use of said resources.

  49. The CIA turned out be the best thing to happen to Chile, though.

  50. Wrong! Leopold had nothing to do with Angola. Now as far as who's responsible for this? The MPLA ruling party and the people of Angola who still support them after all the years of tyranny.
