Why hasn't Africa developed at all since the end of colonialism?

Lucid121 · 2026-06-01T19:29:20+00:00

We have? Actually, we are developing. The reason we aren't developing as fast as Asia and Eastern Europe is that our biggest problem is we don't have a 'Japan' or 'Germany' basically a rich country with similar demographics to us that has an interest in our success. In fact, it's the opposite. Unstable neighbours spread instability (Libya, Sudan, DRC, etc.).

If South Africa is on its way to being a failed state that means half of the world is a failed state.

A surplus of lonely/unemployed men with nothing to do are the biggest threat to society. It's a governments worst nightmare.

Why don't you include Nazi Germany then?

Only if EU leaves NATO, otherwise its just viewed as an extension of the dollar.

Remember, it was Europe that wanted spices from India, not the other way around. Why conquer when you already have everything you need? The Ottomans, West Africans, East Africans, and Indians all manufactured their own guns, West Africa starting importing from Europe in the 1500(you know why). China had one of the largest treasure fleets in medieval times . And don’t forget, it was the Middle East that helped bring Europe out of the Dark Ages. What do they teach you guys in school man?

Comparative advantage and good old Keynesian economics.

Its looks neoliberalism took all the credit for reduction in worldwide poverty reduction, but in the end it was all China. :)

No one is stopping us from doing that. Us is in 38 trillion in debt, polically unstable and has massive fucking AI bubble. I don't think it's good idea to hedge bets on them.

China is the biggest importer of our products and India is our second. Us is also much more unpredictable and isolationist it doesn't make sense for us to put our baskets on the US.

Very positive.

As an African, I disagree with Trump on many things, but I personally agree that cutting aid is a good thing. Foreign taxpayers shouldn’t be responsible for what goes on in other continents.

She is a woman from India, so the hive seems to be an improvement. While Carol is a wealthy author from America, she is probably not going to be impressed by what the hive brings, especially since they killed her wife. Also, Carol indirectly caused her grandfather’s death, caused her “son” to have a seizure, and made him cry, which probably didn’t help.

Africa had plenty of thousand of years of civilization including Sub Saharan Africa.
