I think the cold war was a bad time to start a new country communism was super popular back then most people online only have an American view of this period. but it was really mainstream even in places were you would not expect it almost every country had no non government owned tv or radio the us and uk were the exception. . few people were really pro capitalist in the 1970s i think these days a lot more people think its good or at least that having no free market at all is a bad thing . but ofcourse its not that simple africa also has a lot of corporations taking advantage of corruption and religious zealots .but i think the since the founders of these countries didn't care about freedom and were obsessed with a very flawed system it probably makes these problems worse .i think these countries would have been better off if they either gained independence before 1910 or after 1990.
