  1. But it doesn't have the human capital. Africa had such people until they were killed off by both Western and Soviet puppets.
    308
  2. What more do you except from a country operating on central planning which the needs of the population are an afterthought?
    20
  3.  @SlapstickGenius23  You mean Russia (Soviet Union) or the USA.
    12
  4.  @martinmendl1399  Exactly.
    7
  5. And then Angola conveniently ditched communism for social democracy as their thanks for Cuba's support. LOL
    6
  6. But that's the price to pay for the privilege of living in a city with amenities.
    5
  7. < i don’t wanna have to rely on public transport and i don’t want more of my hard earned tax money to be spent on public transport which i don’t use.> You subsidize public transit every time you renew your driver's license. <plus you can bet your money that the more they invest in public transport the more they will artificially try to make it hard to own a car.>> Very much.
    4
  8. But Angola got its model from the USSR/Russia, not the US or UK.
    4
  9.  @jvictormacedo6624  Brazil's inequality is worse than the US's. But overall, South Africa has the world's worst inequality.
    4
  10.  @nanouekonzo5581  Just like the other Congo with Sassou-Nguesso and Equatorial Guinea with Obiang-Nguema.
    3
  11. By way of Marxism.
    3
  12. Exactly. And also perpetually at the mercy of others.
    3
  13. Black supremacy and like Zimbabwe, Marxism.
    3
  14. <4. It can’t take you anywhere you like or there is lots of walking in between.> No ---- it can't as public transit was designed to run on specific and exclusively dedicated routes. And what do you have against waking? <6. Very slow and takes forever to reach places.> Due to having to pick up and let off passengers at designated stops along with driving in the same traffic as other vehicles.
    3
  15.  @emilio2647  They already did. Remember Equatorial Guinea? Too bad all that produced was Pol Pol-lite a.k.a Francisco Macias Nguema and his nephew and current President.
    3
  16. Simply because yesterday's freedom-fighters and liberators have become today's colonizers and oppressors which is the MPLA.
    3
  17. <Pinochet’s regime> That went on to make Chile the 6th wealthiest country in the Americas.
    3
  18.  @EduardoMusasa  Not really. Singapore was colonized. The Gulf was colonized. There are 10 countries that never got colonized, but only 3 of them are prosperous. The other 7 are just middling at best.
    3
  19. Case in point: Australia and Haiti.
    2
  20. Not really. Angola is more than capable for being corrupt on its own as it was the original Slave Empire that happily helped Portugal get the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade off the ground.
    2
  21. The same military responsible for the protection of the Persian Gulf, South Korea and others who ought to to be defending themselves.
    2
  22. Nope. Angola is not a free-market country.
    2
  23.  @safe-keeper1042  <"Reasons why owning a car is a must if you can afford it!"> Yet the poor in the US found a way to afford a car.
    2
  24.  @letecmig  Pretty much, which is why Justin's daddy once said that Canada (English Canada namely) has no culture.
    2
  25. And what is this "world peace" you so speak of?
    2
  26.  @twentysecondcenturywoman  There are only 10 non-colonized countries in the world. South Korea North Korea Japan China Nepal Bhutan Thailand Afghanistan Iran Ethiopia.
    2
  27. A one-time Russian-backed but now Chinese-backed authoritarian government.
    2
  28. The current ruling MPLA was USSR and Cuban-backed. Its main opposition was Chinese-backed.
    2
  29. Aided by White Western leftists.
    2
  30.  @billpugh58  And Mississippi has the biggest black population in the States.
    2
  31. @ Rude Boy 77 It's easy to say that when Africa was never a factor militarily and technologically.
    2
  32. <aid but they still on crack and shooting eachother and single mothers..> All of which are results of Johnson's War On Poverty and Reagan's War On Drugs.
    2
  33. Commie, please!
    2
  34. Angola operates on Russia's model, not the US's.
    2
  35. Botswana.
    2
  36. Angola is not that capitalist as operates on a command model.
    2
  37. Actually the MPLA were Russian-installed.
    2
  38. Angola was the OG Slave Empire.
    2
  39.  @vayasindios3311  Exactly.
    2
  40.  @vayasindios3311  Thomas Sankara had the right idea in having the people make their own clothes until he was overthrown and killed by his own party.
    2
  41.  @braydenfarrell1177  Trinidad & Tobago is not a Black-majority country.
    2
  42. Communists are just users and abusers of the people they claim to have solidarity with.
    2
  43. Nope. The people were just simply put under new rulership.
    2
  44. <Many wars, millions of lives lost &, lets face it, lots of money made because they believe in a Man-made Father figure that will take care of them after death> No. Try politics.
    2
  45.  @kennarajora6532  But by mismanagement on the part of the Angolan government.
    2
  46.  @xaiano794  But the ruling ANC is socialist. And socialists were never known for being fiscally competent.
    2
  47. Especially in dictatorships and totalitarian regimes.
    2
  48.  @jackyex  But it occupies a lot of spots in the top 50 highest crime rates in the world. The US is not among the top 50.
    2
  49.  @Bt-7274..  LOL. Hardly.
    2
  50. No. He's backed by China.
    2
  51. Not really. They don't grant citizenship to babies born to outsiders.
    2
  52. But getting even is.
    2
  53. Don't forget Teodorin Nguema, son of the current President of Equatorial Guinea and Vice-President.
    2
  54. I thought it was Miami.
    1
  55. Tell that to the Uyghurs. Or the dissidents sitting in re-education camps.
    1
  56. Angola already found it.
    1
  57. 1) Albania says HI! 2) Cambodia, Poland, East Germany, North Korea, etc. says otherwise.
    1
  58. One problem, though. Angola is not a capitalist country.
    1
  59. Angola is hardly capitalist.
    1
  60. No. That would be Equatorial Guinea doing the worst as 75% of the people are poor compared to 40% of Angolans.
    1
  61.  @airplanegod  They went from physical slavery and segregation to economic slavery and segregation.
    1
  62.  @Zarastro54  Case in point: South Africa.
    1
  63. Also: UAE Oman Qatar Bahrain Kuwait Angola Equatorial Guinea Republic of Congo Guyana Trinidad & Tobago Canada Norway Brunei
    1
  64. The power companies are state-owned.
    1
  65. They already did that.
    1
  66. Her husband is long dead.
    1
  67.  @nishiljaiswal2216  Care to name that developed country where the rich take public transportation?
    1
  68.  @seo7409  Maybe not, but the poster still has a point. No one of means or importance takes public transit.
    1
  69. Canada in land mass is even bigger than the US with the population size of California.
    1
  70. <Zimbabwe was the bread basket of Africa before ANC took over then they entered starvation...> You mean the ZANU-PF and Robert Mugabe. The ANC is a South African party.
    1
  71.  @yanniskarageorgiou3573  LOL @ Nigeria, Sierra Leone and South Africa being just fine.
    1
  72.  @mesut7699  Latin America = rich man's Africa.
    1
  73. But the vast majority of the killings in America happen in the cities where not law-abiding gun-owners but actual criminals live at.
    1
  74. UNITA was originally backed by China.
    1
  75. <Foreign aid that was supposed to help the Angolan people> But didn't because it had to go through the Angolan government first.
    1
  76. Who knew that communists could be some of the biggest racists around?
    1
  77. But South Africa's problems are due to socialism. And socialism is even worse at maintaining infrastructure. <Every dollar that does NOT go to infrastructure is a dollar that can go to the shareholders, and by association, the CEO.> Just like every dollar that doesn't go to infrastructure goes in the pockets of some mid-tier bureaucrat and by association, the "Supreme Leader."
    1
  78. Yet somehow the US is on par with Sweden in overall crime rate.
    1
  79. LOL. Socialism is what tanked Africa.
    1
  80. Angola is not a capitalist country, though.
    1
  81. Kanye West and Tim Cook would like a word with you.
    1
  82. LOL.
    1
  83.  @spacetoast7783  That's the problem with socialism. For all the talk of democracy, it does everything to silence any dissenting view as it does not value or respect individual freedom. Hence its need for brute force.
    1
  84. With the left in charge.
    1
  85. So you can fear your neighbors?
    1
  86. Democracy is overrated only because it allows idiots and other undesirables to vote.
    1
  87. And you happily voted for them.
    1
  88. No. And not even close.
    1
  89. The US is an exception as most of its financial success came from everything but natural resources.
    1
  90. But Angola is yet another socialist "success" story.
    1
  91.  @boathemian7694  No. Angola has been gutted by socialism OOPS! I mean social democracy since 1990.
    1
  92.  @lumithelapphund6990  But Metro Manila is overcrowded as F.
    1
  93. Don't be naive.
    1
  94. Isn't this what Marxists mean by workers seizing and owning the means of production?
    1
  95. Because Angola doesn't produce much locally.
    1
  96. Denmark is not a world power. But China is. And so is Angola's former backer, Russia.
    1
  97. Privatization and austerity.
    1
  98. The US funds the UN.
    1
  99. Namely the left wing.
    1
  100.  @fenian123  More like Democrats.
    1
  101. LOL. That's if you don't mind empty shelves and barely any food at all. Plus, communism is even more notorious for its waste of resources.
    1
  102. And nothing will ever change even if the 1% shared with the 99% as the 99% are too short-sighted and frivolous to put that wealth to good use resulting in most of them ending up right back to poverty and hardship.
    1
  103. They did. Back in the final years of Chavez's rule.
    1
  104.  @johnmuthan286  Yet the majority of the crimes in the US are committed in the cities with high regulations all ran by Democrats.
    1
  105. Exactly.
    1
  106. <but nobody wants to do that> Because no one has the right to decide how many babies someone decides to make.
    1
  107. And that's a good thing given how leaders have run their individual countries since 1957 (Ghana's independence) be it Western puppets like Mobutu or Eastern puppets like Mengistu and Barre.
    1
  108.  @fgsaramago  Doesn't matter.
    1
  109. Not in Angola's case. Yet another socialist failure.
    1
  110. LOL. That was Ethiopia under Mengistu.
    1
  111.  @wilthomas  Mississippi's capitol is run by the left.
    1
  112. Which is payback for the blatant, open institutional racism against the black majority.
    1
  113. So you're saying that Black people have no agency and can't achieve anything without White people?
    1
  114. In Canada, public transit is useless if you don't live in either Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver.
    1
  115.  @chillhomie7  And also if he cares about economic development as opposed to personal enrichment.
    1
  116. Guyana was that well before the oil back in the 70's and 80's.
    1
  117. And if enacted, it will just be used to silent dissenters and political rivals.
    1
  118. Diversity is overrated.
    1
  119. @BOB K The US is not suffering from a lack of development.
    1
  120. But short-lived, though.
    1
  121. But the Bolshevik Revolution did.
    1
  122. But Angola is not that capitalist.
    1
  123.  @johnmuthan286  Only in population. But not in land mass.
    1
  124. The MPLA and Dos Santos are far-left.
    1
  125. The Northern part of Africa is not black.
    1
  126. Would that be the Russians?
    1
  127. Exactly.
    1
  128. A lot of Canada's food contain soy.
    1
  129. Not really. Remember the Tower of Babel and how God give the people different languages to thwart their efforts due to the people's arrogance and vanity.
    1
  130. LOL. Angola missed out on nothing. The Marxist-Leninist party which is the MPLA won the war and has been in power ever since.
    1
  131. Angola was Soviet-backed and won the civil war.
    1
  132. <these Arab tribal sheikhs have an intense desire to improve the lives> I would not say that. It's a matter of social control. As long as the economy is booming and there's a tangible improvement in overall living conditions, people are willing to sacrifice freedom for security if Arab Spring proved anything especially in Tunisia.
    1
  133. Better than the economy controlled and inevitably stifled by evil corrupt local governments apparently.
    1
  134. Like Haiti, Liberia and Zimbabwe?
    1
  135. Don't forget imperialist Russia/USSR.
    1
  136.  @derekkearns3377  Ukraine would like a word with you on that.
    1
  137.  @FishbedMyBeloved  <of those below them. > With those below them happily voting for them, because they're gullible and only care about what they can personally benefit from at the expense of their neighbors and the nation's economic viability.
    1
  138. The one-child policy got repealed in 2017.
    1
  139. Only for a short period of time. That was one of the reasons the Spanish Empire declined and eventually became no more.
    1
  140.  @pitabread79  <Despite what they call themselves, the MPLA is not socialist and definitely not communist. > Yes they are. <Angola has a form of state capitalism,> A by-product of socialism. Who knew that socialists happen to be the biggest practitioners of capitalism around? Like their idol, Friedrich Engels? < Power and wealth are still concentrated in a small number of unaccountable hands, ripe for corruption and exploitation. It's oligarchy with a thin socialist veneer.> Like every other socialist/communist regime that ever existed.
    1
  141.  @lucasplz2429  And neither would you. And NO! Scandinavia is not a credible example.
    1
  142. Communism stagnated India for decades after independence.
    1
  143. Actually, Africa's first foreign invaders were Arab Muslims.
    1
  144.  @exploringtheplanetsn  And the general lack of economic freedom because the government controls a lot of industry.
    1
  145.  @fgsaramago  The US has plenty of decent public schools. They're just found in the wealthier parts while the not-so-decent ones are usually found in "the 'hood" known for crime and poverty and most of the residents either live on social assistance or make too little to contribute to funding the schools.
    1
  146.  @jennifersalt3194  the problem is inequality.> And racism. The crappiest public schools are majority Black and Latino. And the biggest opponents of school vouchers and choice are Democrats who Blacks and Latinos vote for en masse.
    1
  147. Corruption and nepotism.
    1
  148. Angola was a participant in the Slave Trade.
    1
  149. Angola got its model from Russia, not the US.
    1
  150. Because the documentary is about Angola and its corruption. That's if they can finally get rid of the ruling MPLA. Maybe, but it still doesn't change the fact that Angola needs reform as the current model is just not adequate.
    1
  151. Commie, please!
    1
  152. Does the US have a 40% poverty rate like Angola?
    1
  153. 40% of Angolans live in poverty.
    1
  154. Not as much as socialism did. Madagascar Ethiopia Somalia Tanzania Ghana Angola Benin Equatorial Guinea Mozambique Zimbabwe Burkina Faso
    1
  155. Better than North Koreans siding with the Russians and starved when Russia cut off the aid.
    1
  156. No. It's socialism. The Angolan government controls most of the economy.
    1
  157. <implementing non-marxist policies > That's the only time Marxism prospers. By cutting back on the central planning and allowing some free-market capitalism to thrive. USSR under Khrushchev and China under Deng.
    1
  158. But America has never had and still doesn't have 40% of the population living in poverty.
    1
  159. There's hardly anything capitalist about Angola,
    1
  160.  @hydromic2518  Botswana is doing well.
    1
  161. Because socialism is not a producer. Just a consumer. Plus, it's hard to produce in an efficient and adequate manner with the government always in the way.
    1
  162. Except Angola is a socialist country with the government controlling most of the economy.
    1
  163. Isn't South Africa part of the BRICS?
    1
  164.  @RaymondHng  Especially if you're male.
    1
  165. While at the same time, South America is a socio-political revolving door between fascists and communists.
    1
  166.  Aeri Uchinaga  Actually it is. Just rebranded as social democratic.
    1
  167. That's nothing. Equatorial Guinea has vast natural resources and a small population, yet the rulers live like kings and 75% of the population live in poverty.
    1
  168.  rued siuu  Kleptocracy.
    1
  169. But Angola is not a free market, though. 40% of the population lives in poverty.
    1
  170.  @stefmyt5062  Angola is not a free market as the private sector barely exist. <Wealth is not "trickled down" onto the rest of us, it is accumulated at the top.> That's because the government controls it only going to members, families friends and supporters.
    1
  171. <Greed is a global phenomenon,> No. Greed is just humans being humans.
    1
  172. <because of incompetent governmen> Elected by a gullible and short-sighted populace.
    1
  173. But the MPLA is a Chinese puppet. Also used to be Russian/Soviet-backed.
    1
  174. Neither does it need centralized states. It has been doing that since independence to rather disastrous results like: Ethiopia under Mengistu DRC (Zaire) under Mobutu Equatorial Guinea under the Nguemas Somalia under Barre Angola under Dos Santos Zimbabwe under Mugabe CAR under Bokassa Guinea under Toure Kenya under Moi Uganda under Amin
    1
  175. Then stop living on your knees.
    1
  176. And Equatorial Guinea.
    1
  177. Angola already had its revolution. Russian and Cuban-backed revolution that is. These are the results.
    1
  178. Africa doesn't produce anything of its own. Africa has natural resources, but all the infrastructure to extract them were built by outsiders as Africa doesn't have the know-how or expertise to do it itself.
    1
  179. That's because everywhere else is small in land size and densely populated. Canada and the US are large in land size, but their population densities are limited to the Eastern Time Zone. Canada, the Quebec-Windsor corridor. The US, between Boston and Washington DC.
    1
  180. I blame tribalism and socialism.
    1
  181.  @bellairefondren7389  It's unreliable in North America.
    1
  182. Not even close. For all the American politicians' corruption, they don't have 40% of the people living in poverty and misery.
    1
  183.  @norikofu509  Like the Whites in Detroit.
    1
  184. China's government is corrupt.
    1
  185. Marxism always breeds incompetence.
    1
  186. Because humans are going to human like they have since Adam and Eve.
    1
  187. The MPLA liberalized the economy to Cuba's dismay.
    1
  188. The same UNITA that was originally backed by China with its purpose being to impose Chinese-styled communism Angola?
    1
  189. No. It's basically black elites and white expats living in luxury while average black citizens live in poverty.
    1
  190. None of the people received it, because it went to the government.
    1
  191. Angola is currently not at war. And the only country exploiting it theses days is China.
    1
  192. Actually yes it can with the one-time Russian-backed currently ruling MPLA as the centerpiece.
    1
  193.  @jugg3647  Just ask Argentina.
    1
  194. South Africa is 80% Black.
    1
  195. While interestingly, many public transit services hardly even serve poverty-stricken areas which is a by-product of racial segregation.
    1
  196. But Angola is run by socialists and has been socialist since getting its independence with USSR and Cuban support.
    1
  197. Singapore was always Chinese-dominated which is why Malaysia kicked it out and let it be its own country.
    1
  198.  @Mars-ev7qg  <The land and wealth confiscated from the white occupiers could go a long way to improve the quality of life of black South Africans. > Like it did for black Zimbabweans under Mugabe?
    1
  199. How so? White people run the management.
    1
  200. They already do that. In case you don't know, 61% of the people work for the royal family.
    1
  201. LOL. You know the oil industry is government-controlled, right?
    1
  202. The former President just recently died.
    1
  203. They're but a refection of the citizens that elected them. Corrupt and myopic.
    1
  204. Trump destroyed nothing.
    1
  205. You mean Park Chung-hee. But to his credit, he turned South Korea Korea from a basket-case to a respectable country.
    1
  206. Indeed. See Tunisia, the old USSR, Zaire (DRC), etc.
    1
  207. As practiced by communists in the case of Angola.
    1
  208. So how did Botswana manage to succeed?
    1
  209. Enabled by her socialist President father.
    1
  210. The hyper-rich being the ruling MPLA.
    1
  211. Exactly.
    1
  212.  @mesut7699  Mostly in Democrat and leftist-run cities.
    1
  213. Her father is dead.
    1
  214. As practiced by communists in the case of Angola?
    1
  215. LOL. There's hardly anything capitalist about Angola. Plus, it got its model from Russia/USSR, the country that once backed the current ruling MPLA.
    1
  216. Like Albania did in its communist days?
    1
  217. Angola is hardly democratic.
    1
  218. Aside from Botswana and the Bahamas, good question.
    1
  219.  @mesut7699  Like in the cases of Sri Lanka and Pakistan?
    1
  220. And China has even stricter immigration and citizenship requirements.
    1
  221. Well, the money has to come from somewhere to pay employee salaries, maintenance and repairs among other operating costs
    1
  222. How? Are you saying that Black men are children who can't do anything without White men's permission?
    1
  223. But the US's nepotism doesn't hold back development or progress the way it does in most 3rd world countries.
    1
  224.  @mussy9387  Most definitely is socialist as the revolutionaries become the oligarchs. Socialism was never based on justice and fairness, but on envy and ego.
    1
  225.  @Taylordessalines  Southern Africa is full of Chinese puppets. Not European.
    1
  226.  @safe-keeper1042  Well, you're free to go live downtown or New York, San Francisco or some other public transit-friendly city. That's if you can afford the rent.
    1
  227. Namely the ruling MPLA that Dos Santos co-founded.
    1
  228. Africa, or least the western part, wasn't called the Slave Empire for nothing.
    1
  229. Exactly.
    1
  230.  @blueciffer1653  Yet the legacy that socialism left behind remains.
    1
  231. Long live capitalism.
    1
  232. Like Norway?
    1
  233. LOL Bhutan is a prime example of how ignorance is bliss.
    1
  234. Yeah, because the natural resource-seller is a hapless victim. LOL
    1
  235. No it doesn't.
    1
  236.  @skeletorsnan8161  Not really as Angola is a functionally socialist country.
    1
  237.  @skeletorsnan8161  Yes it f-ing is. <a few elite do.> Like every other socialist/communist regime that ever existed. <ekete that dumb comment at this point and start over.> Delete yours.
    1
  238. And was once Soviet-backed.
    1
  239. How so? The ruling MPLA are now supported by China and was once supported by Russia/USSR and Cuba.
    1
  240. But in the case of Angola being effectively a one-party-state, education is only to keep the people in line, because truly educated people are competition to the regime.
    1
  241. Isn't home-ownership discouraged in Germany?
    1
  242. Only because Angola has oil.
    1
  243. Nah. It was killed by socialism.
    1
  244.  @susanray8811  But corruption didn't stop the US from developing and prospering.
    1
  245. Angola's companies are state-owned.
    1
  246.  @Sun-Tzu-  That the government hired and profit from via kickbacks.
    1
  247. Like Tibet and Mongolia?
    1
  248. She's actually mixed. Also she wasn't born or raised in Africa but in the former USSR and UK.
    1
  249. LOL. Move forward to what? Being like the communist regimes of the past?
    1
  250.  @hydromic2518  Try Greece or Argentina.
    1
  251. But it's still a business. And at the end of the day, it has to turn in a profit to remain viable. There's only so much money you can tax from "the wealthy."
    1
  252. There's barely anything capitalist about South Africa as the current ruling ANC is communist.
    1
  253. You know the power company is owned by the government, right?
    1
  254.  @forsakensavior7316  The US's poverty rate is 11.4% and 33% of the population make 6 figures.
    1
  255. The whites didn't leave Haiti. They were forced out.
    1
  256. Because Africa keeps allowing itself to be everyone else's doormat. First it was the Arabs. Then it was the Europeans. And now, it's the Chinese.
    1
  257. Namely the ANC elite who share the same leftist socialist views as the MPLA.
    1
  258. And the Bidens.
    1
  259. Maybe when Africa stop having kleptocrats and Marxists run the show.
    1
  260. His. Actually, 40% of Angola's population are struggling eat 3 meals a day.
    1
  261. Angola has one-party Marxist rule. Brazil doesn't.
    1
  262. What work? Most of the work is done by foreigners as the average Saudi is a ward of the state.
    1
  263. Because it's African politicians who allowed it.
    1
  264. What colonialism? Angola won its independence with Russia and Cuba's help.
    1
  265. LOL. You're joking, right?
    1
  266. No. Try Russian and Chinese corruption.
    1
  267. The Bahamas and Botswana.
    1
  268.  @BSPBuilder  No. There's a reason why China repealed it in 2017.
    1
  269. 40% = the vast majority?
    1
  270. What poverty? Not all African leaders came from poverty.
    1
  271. <capitalism is about money.> Yeah. And? <I don’t understand how gdp growth not translating to hdi growth is baffling. That’s how capitalism works.> But Angola operates on a socialist model. <It’s not a system that cares about people and quality of life,> Capitalism never claimed such.
    1
  272. Because foreign migrants are not counted as part of its GDP figures despite making up the majority of the population and Emirati citizens are glorified welfare recipients.
    1
  273.  @truthtriumphs5289  But God forbid if the migrants decide to stop coming for work and the citizens have to do the work themselves.
    1
  274. They will. A borrower will always be a slave to his lender.
    1
  275. Canada has Loblaws and Metro.
    1
  276. Socialism.
    1
  277.  @blueciffer1653  So? Capitalism for all of its issues is still better than what they currently have which is Marxism.
    1
  278. Which means removing the MPLA.
    1
  279.  @blueciffer1653  <soviet union - no homelessness, everyone has housing, everyone has food, low wealth inequity, far better workplace democracy, greater access to healthcare and education. > Yet a limited economy, high spending on the military and vanity projects, no freedom of movement even within the country, etc.
    1
  280. The greater good = elitist limousine liberals.
    1
  281.  @Rildar  Or even Toronto, Canada where White people barely exist anymore.
    1
  282.  @Jwm367t  Aside from rigged elections and decidedly lower body counts, socialism and communism are one and the same.
    1
  283. It won't make much of a difference as most of it will just get squandered. For some people, food and housing are the least of their problems.
    1
  284. Africa already has that in Zimbabwe.
    1
  285. Yet produce 85% of the country's wealth.
    1
  286. And the Whites are also responsible for most of the wealth generated in SA.
    1
  287. But Africa already did that. And the results were rather unflattering.
    1
  288. And what L'Ouverture and Dessalines did to Haiti.
    1
  289. Poverty is not going anywhere. And the lack of wealth and the rich are the least of humanity's problems.
    1
  290. The ethnic groups were already divided and at war with each other long before the West showed its face.
    1
  291. It doesn't. And Amazon is not a government entity.
    1
  292. Yes it has. And Angola is just the end result of socialism/communism. Kleptocracy.
    1
  293. It wouldn't make much of a difference as some will manage it wisely and others will just simply pee it all away becoming a burden and a threat.
    1
  294. China's so-called private businesses are owned by CCP stooges.
    1
  295. The minute that you lose your economic freedom, you can kiss your personal/territorial freedom goodbye.
    1
  296. The Portuguese had it coming.
    1
  297. The father has just recently died.
    1
  298. So Africa's too inept to help itself?
    1
  299. And foolishly think that other people of color (Latinos, Arabs, Asians, etc.) are on their side.
    1
  300.  @andersonandrighi4539  <Too much open market can create a deep unnequal income gap.> And too much of a closed market can create another Argentina or Venezuela.
    1
  301.  @agginswaggin  Ditto for Vietnam. And for some communist regimes, it was the USSR cutting off support that lead to their collapses.
    1
  302. Gaddafi lifted no one out of poverty. All he did was pacify his people with "free stuff" until that "free stuff" no longer sufficed and the people wanted freedom instead.
    1
  303. No. And South Africa is de-facto socialist thanks to the ANC.
    1
  304. Tell that to Nicaragua.
    1
  305. That is not going to solve anything as most of us will just simply squander it and end up right back to square one. Much of our poverty is of our own making.
    1
  306. How so? They're not in power. Just the once Russian-backed MPLA.
    1
  307.  @RaymondHng  Exactly.
    1
  308. Ditto for South Korea.
    1
  309. I say Marxism killed Africa far more than colonialism.
    1
  310. When African men decide to grow a pair and stop being everyone else's toy.
    1
  311. Except Angola is not really a democracy and it got its model from Russia and China. If anything, it got to see the benefits of revolution just like in North Korea, Ethiopia and (insert Eastern European country).
    1
  312. No. Try the KGB.
    1
  313. Wrong! Angola was destroyed by Marxist-Leninists who rebranded themselves as social democrats after winning the independence war with help from Cuba and Russia/USSR.
    1
  314.  @ipoopeveryday  <at the hands of imperialist powers.> Like China?
    1
  315.  @ipoopeveryday  Your feelings don't make any sense to me either. The reality of it is Angola is yet another socialist casualty.
    1
  316. Adams is nothing compared to what Kwame Kilpatrick of Detroit or even Lori Lightfoot of Chicago were.
    1
  317. <The masses are controlled by a religion that only benefits few.> Which is the welfare state as the majority of the population are either dependent on or employed by the government. The private sector barely exists.
    1
  318. He won.
    1
  319. So is producing so few products as it leads to chronic shortages and famine.
    1
  320. Isn't that how it's done in China?
    1
  321. But most people finance their cars. Hardly anyone pays $45 000 upfront.
    1
  322. Jose Eduardo died a peaceful death.
    1
  323. And even if it was evenly distributed, some will still have more than others as some are wise and others are just plain foolish.
    1
  324.  @blackhole9961  But the poster probably can't afford the rent there.
    1
  325. Courtesy of China.
    1
  326. <White folks checked out & didnt help the country they ravaged for decades.> White folks ravaged nothing as they were the reason why South Africa prospered in the first place. <**This video fails to address the outside influences by certain european nations to keep South Africa from growing properly.> Because nothing is stopping South Africa from growing properly except the current ruling ANC. <Without redistribution of wealth, > For what? Whites are responsible for most of the wealth produced in the country.
    1
  327. Not really. The US doesn't have a 40% poverty rate like Angola as it's at 11.4%.
    1
  328.  @fudgerace4356  For only as long as said monarchy is still able to throw money at them.
    1
  329.  @fudgerace4356  <I can tell u that generally they live atleast 100 times better than us (financially, security)...> Only because the government pays all their bills.
    1
  330. What good ones? Aside from Seretse Khama of Botswana, the so-called good ones were Soviet-supported.
    1
  331. Angola is yet another communist turned kleptocratic regime.
    1
  332. It is. And Angola is no exception.
    1
  333. <With that being said, I would love to hear your thoughts in how a ruling party who self claims as "marxist leninist", turned how to be so elite centered.> Simple. Angola is yet another case of Marxist-Leninists becoming exactly what they fought against. You know the saying: Meet the new boss. Same as the old one.
    1
  334.  @Meatdevil  But Angola is yet another case of yesterday's liberators becoming tomorrow's oppressors.
    1
  335. And why can't Africa provide them itself?
    1
  336.  @菜则成挺住  So, what's stopping them from providing themselves that better life? Are they that helpless?
    1
  337. It would have still happened anyway. Angolan politicians have agency.
    1
  338. China was an African country?
    1
  339.  @grunchlk  Or Singapore.
    1
  340. Deng's free-market reforms and Clinton's outsourcing of US manufacturing jobs.
    1
  341. Because air travel is far more efficient than train travel especially when trying to go from one side to the other side of the country in a timely manner? America has a rather large land mass. The average European country you like to idolize doesn't.
    1
  342. No. Pride is.
    1
  343.  @tonja7462  <Public transport shouldn't take 3 times as long as the same trip by car, that's the whole point. > But it does, because it has to stop at every bus stop on its designated route even when there are no passengers waiting to get on. <Government investments and the realisation that public transport is a service, not a business is needed.> Public transportation is a business. It has operating costs and other expenses to account for. Plus it has to generate its own revenue. Can't always rely on taxpayers to bail it out.
    1
  344. Angola is anything but capitalist.
    1
  345.  @caleb--  And Angola isn't even capitalist anyway.
    1
  346. The MPLA elites are the rich.
    1
  347. But in all fairness, Mom & Pop stores are limited in size and scope and cannot adequately fulfill most people's grocery needs.
    1
  348. LOL. Not with the high infant mortality rate it has.
    1
  349. Time for Africa to grow a pair and kick them both out.
    1
  350. Simple. Look what happened to Tunisia once the money ran out no longer able to take of the people.
    1
  351. But pride is the cause of greed.
    1
  352. Benevolent = clout-chasing megalomaniacal personality cult.
    1
  353. Africa already did communism to rather disastrous results. Ethiopia became the poster child for famine and Somalia became child for failed state under communist leadership.
    1
  354. Because the people are every bit as corrupt as the governments they elect.
    1
  355.  @ConsumerWatchdogUK  Not in Angola. Hardly anyone pays income tax. That's why the government don't feel beholden to the people.
    1
  356. New Yorkers would like a word with you on that.
    1
  357. Angola already had a communist revolution and won.
    1
  358. Yet that same 20% is responsible for 80% of the wealth produced. It's a wonder how South Africa has managed to hold up with only a minority producing and paying taxes.
    1
  359. In Angola's case, namely their one-time Soviet-backed liberators.
    1
  360. Angola is a product of Russian/Soviet imperialism.
    1
  361. Botswana didn't miss the capitalist boat.
    1
  362. Exactly.
    1
  363. Nope. Try socialism.
    1
  364. You mean the Western left didn't like that.
    1
  365. Namely Nixon and Clinton.
    1
  366. And was backed by the USSR and Cuba during Angola's successful fight for independence.
    1
  367.  @rory4989  The same ones happily living off of the colonizer's social assistance?
    1
  368. America would not have been any better off with Hillary.
    1
  369. 3rd highest in the world.
    1
  370. Not for as long as the MPLA is still in charge.
    1
  371. Yet interestingly, they have no problem embracing Marxism, a "white" idea.
    1
  372.  @user-ug8wx5er1w  Not the Labour-voting type.
    1
  373. Not in Angola's case. It's between the average person and the politically well-connected.
    1
  374.  @duongkuac1077  Elected by an ignorant and gullible populace.
    1
  375. Full-time or part-time?
    1
  376. But Switzerland was a tax haven the Nazi Germans parked their ill-gotten gains in.
    1
  377. In the form of kleptocracy disguised as social democracy where governments are elected to enrich themselves at the people's expense.
    1
  378. Angola is not a free-market country.
    1
  379. Only because the USSR collapsed and stopped supporting him.
    1
  380. Namely if you don't live in Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver.
    1
  381. Pretty much.
    1
  382.  @to4217  <lol of course I didnt (though I would in a heart beat if I could). Because our infrastructure supports personal vehicles and nothing else> It also supports commercial and emergency vehicles.
    1
  383. By black people themselves, especially the communist-minded black supremacist types.
    1
  384. But Angola is socialist. And socialism has consistently produced the 1% and the 99%. The 1% being the government, family and friends. The 99% being everyone else.
    1
  385.  @stephefw7601  LOL. I hate to break it to you, but socialism has classes as it always becomes what it seeks to eliminate. And Angola is no exception. Yesterday's revolutionaries, liberators and freedom-fighters = tomorrow's oligarchs, oppressors and colonizers good at leading armies and masses but lousy at running economies and countries with the poor and working class still being the poor and working class.
    1
  386. And that's the thing. Blacks wanting to kick out whitey but don't have what it takes to pick up where they left off.
    1
  387. Angola is not capitalist. So the latter.
    1
  388.  @nunyabiznes33  Thanks to the French colonizers.
    1
  389. How about the whole MPLA party?
    1
  390. Except in Angola, there isn't much capitalism going on.
    1
  391. Venezuela.
    1
  392. Greece's problems are due to the people themselves voting for leaders that promised them free stuff bankrupting the country in the process for years and lied its way into the EU to get someone else to pay for its blunders.
    1
  393.  spiderman-jv8we  Poverty is not a valid excuse.
    1
  394.  @billedifier8584  Isabel is a Westerner. She was born in the then-USSR and was raised in the UK.
    1
  395. Yet Botswana and Rwanda found a way.
    1
  396.  @sa3270  <But I'm sure those socialist countries would love give him handouts.> While letting their own citizens starve. LOL
    1
  397. That is true. Venezuela is another example.
    1
  398. With support from other bleeding hearts and leftists among civilized men.
    1
  399. And is ran by a relic of the old Soviet regime.
    1
  400. But modern-day Angola is a Russian invention.
    1
  401. You mean SA turned from capitalist to socialist, because there's hardly anything capitalist about the ruling ANC or any of their policies.
    1
  402. Due to Mao's destructive food and agriculture policies.
    1
  403. No. It's just Marxists being Marxists.
    1
  404. At the insistence of the White Left.
    1
  405. And you would think that Africa would know better than to trust communists given its post-colonial experience with it. I guess not.
    1
  406. Plenty. That 1% account for 80% of all taxes paid that keeps the economy afloat for one while the bottom 50% account for 3% at best.
    1
  407. But Angola is socialist and is run by socialists.
    1
  408. I say socialism has done every bit to suppress African development, arguably even more so.
    1
  409. Just like in Paris.
    1
  410. And especially power.
    1
  411.  @bucket6386  Plus passenger planes can't fly within China because the military owns the airspace.
    1
  412.  @LilacMonarch  But Fukushima is.
    1
  413.  @blueciffer1653  1) Yes it is. 2) Typical tankie response. 3) Not really. This is what communism have consistently produced in the name of "the people." Communists becoming the capitalists they fought against.
    1
  414. Don't hold your breath. Dos Santos may be gone (rest in peace), but the party he co-founded that the new president is the leader of is still in power.
    1
  415.  @MustangDesudiroz  It's not viewed as such only because countries don't want to be on China's blacklist.
    1
  416.  @robertmartin6800  <Ghana, Zimbabwe, a> Thanks to Marxists like Nkrumah and Mugabe.
    1
  417. It's funny indeed. Communism co-opts and becomes what it accuses capitalism, monarchy and feudalism of under the guise of eliminating them.
    1
  418. But LA was founded as a sprawl paradise for those who don't want to live like New Yorkers or Chicagoans.
    1
  419. Unfortunately, the MPLA got re-elected.
    1
  420. One problem, though. Communists run Angola.
    1
  421. Yet Botswana is still one of the most stable and wealthiest countries in Africa unlike its neighbors who adopted Marxism and became all but complete basket-cases.
    1
  422. Like Irving in the New Brunswick?
    1
  423. Politics is the most lucrative profession in most 3rd world countries.
    1
  424. Angola was the OG slave empire. And Portugal was the first country to get the Slave Trade off the ground and do business with Angola.
    1
  425. Better to have that than no options at all.
    1
  426. Well, there was Mongolia that was built by the Soviet Union. Cuba was built by the very same USA it's at war with.
    1
  427.  @Guirolon  But it was the US that got Cuba its independence. <Only Caribbean Cuba will mourn the Russians. Just for some background, Cuba is not even considered “Latin America”… we consider them “The Caribbean or African culture”, > Only because Cuba had slavery and one of the last to abolish it with Brazil being the absolute last.
    1
  428. Socialism worse.
    1
  429. So did the USSR and Cuba.
    1
  430. What capitalism? Angola got its model from Russia.
    1
  431. And replaced them with political butt-kissers and amateurs.
    1
  432. <natural resources dont propel people out of poverty because they become privatized instead of becoming nationalized.> To the benefit and control of family, friends and acquaintances of the government as is the case with most 2nd and 3rd world resource-rich countries which are a lot more socialist than you think.
    1
  433. San Jose is in Silicon Valley.
    1
  434.  @nateb9768  California = leftist policies coming home to roost.
    1
  435. LOL
    1
  436. <If all religions would die, maybe humanity can make the next big step, whatever it may be> Another ****show like the old communist regimes of the past.
    1
  437. Portugal is a basket-case and a has-been just like its neighbor Spain.
    1
  438. But it would be just like Canada. Oversized and underpopulated.
    1
  439. Socialism is unviable and unsustainable.
    1
  440. Nope. Socialism. Ayittey was right.
    1
  441. Only to end up devolving into a stagnant dictatorship.
    1
  442. No. Socialists have been in charge of South Africa since Mandela stepped down in favor of Mbeki.
    1
  443. <safe and effective vaccine> Safe from lawsuits and effective in destroying the immune system and ultimately ending life.
    1
  444.  @infinitecanadian  And if it wasn't for the US nuking Japan, China would have still been a Japanese colony like Korea was.
    1
  445. Socialists in charge. What do you expect? Capitalism is the reason South Africa hasn't gone the way of Zimbabwe yet.
    1
  446. LOL. Cambodia, China and the Soviet Union all say HI!
    1
  447. Actually, its proper name is socialism as the liberators run the show and the people got taken for fools.
    1
  448.  @AndrewKyr92  LOL. There's hardly anything free-market about Angola.
    1
  449.  @nope-ju1eu  So Africa is too weak and useless to help itself? You're just proving White supremacists right.
    1
  450.  @abnerwhitewaterduck6723  It does serve people alright. Just the ruling class and well-connected.
    1
  451. Isn't Australia a by-product of British colonialism?
    1
  452. Yet Angola is run by socialists.
    1
  453.  @lordeisschrank  Angola is run by socialists. Capitalism barely exists at all there.
    1
  454. Namely government officials, family friends and acquaintances.
    1
  455. But Angola is yet another socialist "success" story.
    1
  456. And once again, Africa being used as a test experiment.
    1
  457. Like Angola and Ethiopia? Or the one-tome Soviet-backed ANC?
    1
  458. Since when did Dos Santos care about the peopel?
    1
  459. Greed is not going anywhere as average people are every bit as greedy.
    1
  460. You mean the Chinese.
    1
  461. How could they be anti-white? They used to get support from the old USSR.
    1
  462.  @unflexian  LOL. Privatization is the reason SA hasn't gone the way of Zimbabwe yet. <why shouldn't communists have power?> Communists cannot run a hot-dog stand let alone an economy.
    1
  463. And Canada will be greatly affected by it since most of its well-being is dependent on the US.
    1
  464. Kleptocracy 101.
    1
  465.  @Chisobhaneko  LOL.
    1
  466. Whites didn't do themselves any favors by embracing feminism and homosexuality.
    1
  467. And China in Angola's case.
    1
  468. But most mom and pop shops did.
    1
  469. Pride is the #1 problem with humanity.
    1
  470. Because local puppet politicians still have agency and are in charge. They're not helpless.
    1
