Reply #8: Why do people die in Africa? Because colonialism and postcolonialism [View All]

[AP]

has resulted in a one-way transfer of Africa's resources for over a hundred years to New York, London, Edinburgh, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Rome, Houston, Paris and Berlin.

There is no real middle class, and there are millions of poor, and millions more who have been killed.

The bullshit of colonialism is what Zimbabwe and now Namibia is trying to end through land reform. And the biggest evidence that it's going to work -- that wealth will stop flowing abroad -- is in the anxiety the Western media displays in demonizing governments that try to bring about land reform.

There are leaders WAY worse than Mugabe in Africa, but the media gives them a free pass because they not only aren't a threat to Western corporate profits, but they are totally complicit in the flow of wealth abroad.
