  3.  @fauxmanchu8094  It's a by-product of the socialist and state-ownership model many post-colonial leaders adopted after independence.

  7.  @grigorig1055  But it isn't, because the Nguemas don't care about economic development but personal enrichment. And it's only because of oil the country is no longer under sanctions.

  8. It was a thriving society when Batista ran it.

  9.  @MB2.0  In other words, cult of personality. Also see Yugoslavia after Tito died.

  10. <Put Europeans on an island, get England.> You mean Australia. <Put Asians on an island, get Japan> How about Taiwan or Singapore? <put Africans on an island, get Haiti.> Agreed.

  11.  @kimobrien.  In other words, it has to be imposed everywhere even in places the people don't want it. And yet socialists have the nerve to call capitalism imperialist.

  15.  @ProjectHyena  Yet Soviet aid, Canadian tourism, Venezuelan oil and US remittances kept Cuba afloat despite it.

  16. The Black people in Brazil have long accepted their place in society as a permanent underclass and a non-factor.

  18.  @fudgerace4356  <In democrazy, majority of the GDP owned by the private sector> That's because the private sector is responsible for most of the revenue generated and people employed resulting in (income, property, etc.) tax revenue for the government.

  19. LOL. No. It would be world where countries will just attack and invade their neighbors. I guess you must have forgotten that Russia, China and Japan used to be imperialists themselves.

  20. Most likely suffering from White guilt.

  21. First end the central planning.

  25. <When it comes to the living conditions of civilians, Cuba is in much better condition than Capitalist Mexico is in.> Yet Cubans much rather live in Mexico than Cuba. LOL <The embargo sanction is what causes Cuba's economic limitations.> No. Its lack of local economy and industry is the cause of Cuba's limitations making it reliant on outside aid thanks to the Cuban government's wholesale decimation of the private sector.
    4
  26. Exactly.

  27. <They want Zimbabwe to fail > And Zimbabwe did fail when Mugabe gave the land to political friends and supporters who were in no position to farm resulting in production declines, food shortages and eventual famine.

  28. And the people are ignorant and complacent.

  29. And socialism just cannot survive without capitalism propping it up as socialism can not and does not produce any wealth of its own.

  32. Haiti is the absolute poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. And among the top 20 poorest countries in the world. <Haiti has plenty of natural resources,> But no human resources to do anything with it.

  33. The Americans did when they won the Spanish-American War which was the final nail in the coffin for the Spanish Empire.

  34. The same oil Venezuela let rot due to neglect and mismanagement due to chasing out its skilled workforce in favor of political stooges?

  35. The same science in bed with Big Pharma?

  36.  @p.1019  Because they're no longer sustainable with a growing number of people "in need" and a dwindling number of workers and producers to tax.

  38. <but what was new is that President ZUMA brought his brothers to the big table when it was time to eat and BIG CORP doesn't want what> Namely his political cronies. The average black South African was left to starve.

  40.  @MyronGanes-jl2ot  But it doesn't change the fact that many of the problems the poor are due to circumstances well within their control. All the resources in the world don't mean anything if you can't put them to good use.

  41. Get rid of your smartphone.
