Consider African Marxism

I hope one day our education can teach us this, or in the very least encourage us to think for ourselves. Socialism and communism were vilified to us, and I am not saying it wasn't without faults, but think about it; what you know about the two, was it what you were fed or is it something you actually reasoned yourself into?

Anyway, I am not here to preach Marxism, just to posit Africa will never thrive based on a capitalistic economic model, because there is no continent to exploit. There is no capitalism without colonialism and imperialism, and there is no Western advancement without the two. That's why a country like Switzerland over 10 times smaller, less minerals, and a smaller population would have a GDP larger than that of a country like Kenya.

Dear dater,

If you are confident in yourself, content with what you provide for yourself at present, and that you will achieve for yourself the life that you want, then your significant partner's income shouldn't really matter. At least not even top three of the discussions you should be having. UNLESS, it is clear that they will directly affect where you are and where you are going.

It's ironic when people turn it into priority number one to a point that they3 dismiss all other positive qualities. IMO, that means you really can't see yourself giving yourself your own future.

The IMF invoked diplomatic immunity in the odious debt case.

What do you think of the IMF and in general the Bretton Woods institutions? It seems they seem to run on the principle of we give you the loans, whatever happens then is your business. But you must pay.

There is no freeing ourselves if we can't free ourselves from Western imperialism.

Dear Tanzanians,

Please shed light on the post-election report.

I stand corrected, but it seems Samia and her fanatics were investigating themselves?
