  1. Stop being naive. China is every bit as imperialistic and self-serving as the West.

  2. LOL. Others have the right to be selfish as ultimately they don't owe anyone anything nor should they provide anything against their will.

  9.  @Arhatu  And condemn whole nations to hunger and other shortages of basic needs while giving governments unlimited power. Communism cannot fix but further exacerbate the problem.

  16. Poverty is not going anywhere. Plus, you can't really destroy power as you'll just become that power by default.

  17. It was. Mugabe redistributed the lands to political friends and amateurs allowing said lands to go to waste.

  18. The Bible says: the poor will always be with you. Meaning poverty is not going anywhere no matter how much money and resources you throw at it.

  19.  @ravecrab23  But thanks to corrupt, wasteful and punitive governments, tax havens are a necessity.

  20. No. Many of those poor countries already did socialism to rather disastrous results.

  21. Zimbabwe is not exactly a victim.
    1
  22. Only for us to pick up right where they left off as we're every bit as corrupt and greedy as they are.
    1
  23. And watch society implode.

  30. As long as the ANC are still in power.

  31. Not nearly as much as Zimbabwe having no real local economy.
    1
  32. Exactly.

  33. Just ask Sri Lanka.
    1
  34. But so far, Venezuela = when Cuba meets Argentina.

  35.  @ninamartin1084  Not really. The poor don't do themselves any favors.
    1
  36. Their fries and apple pies are anything but lousy.
    1
  37. Because the US sanctions came well after Venezuela's policies ran their course and bankrupted the country.
    1
  38. In the short term, that is.

  39. Whatever, Joseph Mengele!

  40.  @marlonmoncrieffe0728  That's only because Africa has a high death rate hence the low life-expectancy.
    1
  41.  @redrevolver11  Singapore and Botswana barely needed 2 decades to develop. And both of them had nothing at the time of independence.
    1
  42. Not really. Many of the countries got bankrupted by their socialist liberators who took the people for fools and treated them worse then the European colonizers did.
    1
  43. No. Try Chinese imperialism.
    1
  44. Starting with you.
