Africa is DESIGNED to stay underdeveloped by neo-colonialism | Talk w/ African scholar Fadhel Kaboub

[@jameslindsay5889]

I like this guy. He knows exactly what the West is doing, and I hope people in power listen to him. I live in the west, and I'd love to live long enough to see us get a taste of our own medicine.

[@pausereflect5911]

There's a BETTER model that enables everyone to live and have what they need WITHOUT over consuming. There is sssooo MUCH that Earth gives us. "It's a problem of distribution" some clever person once said. Even allowing for the crooked, we can prosper.

[@falsificationism]

Agreed. Fadhel Kaboub is consistently good! He's also got the correct take on monetary policy, which seeps into his global analysis (for the better). Great guest!

[@liengamier3290]

They will not Listen to him

[@falsificationism]

@@liengamier3290 I don't understand your point. His job is to have the correct analysis; he's not a politician or something.

Same live in the West but can’t wait for the downfall of the western Empire of evil.

Colonial mindset is very much alive in every Western Politician and Multinational company

[@bahacho9205]

[@faza553]

Geography matters - eg deep water harbours and navigable waterways.

[@jamesdobbs6942]

and in the minds of Africans who allow it to happen

[@yellowsheeps]

Western countries were built on Colonialism. The very ethos of these countries is Imperialism. These countries cannot function without Imperialism which is why they are freaking out and in panic mode because stealing, looting and subjugating is the backbone to their existence.

[@rebeccaaldrich3396]

😂 yet China wants to colonize Africa! Don't be blind. It's the same thing just a different country.

[@7Kris7Kris]

This is what I need, people who explain things simply and thoroughly to help me understand issues better. Thank you for this discussion!

[@johnwright9372]

Africa is not a country. It is a continent of 54 states and several other political entities, 30 million sq km, 1.4 billion people of hugely varies cultures, languages, ethnicities and geography.

[@maliksy7746]

Yes!

[@jackyee7511]

If they don't get their act together, will be just another version of Europe

[@EfeAikpokhio]

Ignorant people. Do you know why black African countries still work with countries like America, Uk etc. Because the leader are borrowing money from those countries and using it for their own benefit and not the benefit of the country. The corrupt leader benefits from those ties while the country is left to suffer.

[@sanneoi6323]

Honestly we (as the rest of the world) could just leave Africa to be, just to itself for a while so it can take a natural course.

[@stephanchan1660]

I totally agreed and that not just they did in Africa, entire global south.

[@calfstream123]

Fadhel Kaboubs analyzis of How the effects of colonialism now begin to ”wear off” for African countries. And I applaude him for admitting that African states have to organize themselves better in order to reap full benefit of the economic cooperation with China.

[@adib68]

Damn, what a great interview.

[@urrywest]

Thanks Fadhel Kaboub. I am challenging 'Super Impiralism' to reason this out.

[@TholeLetus]

This is group of people that we need to be the leaders, people who understands very well about the geopolitical situations

[@kennedy6618]

Nice hair do Li Jingjing and a knowledgeable and unbiased scholar. 👍 Africa needs a new direction to move forward. The old colonial powers used Africa as their backyard and held the Africans progress at all cost.

[@desert.mantis]

I like Prof. Kaboub's positive, helpful demeanor. Many economists are school in the Austrian or Chicago thinking that perpetuates the colonial system. Fadhel analyzes the challenge from the decolonizing perspective. The major roadblock is the African leaders who are in their positions because they bow to the colonial West. These leaders need to go. They perpetuate agreements like ECOWAS that provide the colonial West with continuing dominance over nations that need to be freed to grow their social and economic prosperity. Excellent interview, Jingjing!

[@Scanfish1]

Very true, and this obtains throughout Africa. We have idiots for leaders, morons who are satisfied with crumbs from the trillions of dollars in resources extracted by the West from the continent. Very infuriating!

[@husseinaskary2166]

Excellent discussion, and brilliant explanations! The vision presented here should be made known everywhere! A new African and Global South liberation process can start now! Thank you Jingjing for bringing this brilliant guest to your show!!!🎉

[@husseinaskary2166]

The only thing I disagree with is the misplaced focus on solar and wind energy as a solution for Africa's shortage of power. African nations must utilize to the hilt their hydropower, natural gas, and coal, and rapidly move to nuclear power. Solar and wind are a waste of time, energy, and resources. I personally campaigned against Desertec as a neocolonial scheme. It is already dead.

[@juwe9516]

This discourse is one of the exceptional piece. Their is no emotive analogy, cold as delight and insane to unravel Africans neo colonial psychology and the mindset of appraising the western magic technology, socio economic, and political structures. It is time to restructures' the fundamental is to scratch the surface to rebuilding fundamentals. With the ideals of decolonisation's. I enjoys this piece and sparks my early morning repertoires.

[@akbalushi4779]

This video needs to be viral

[@UnitedNationsunit6]

Thank you very sir for explaining africa problem and how to deal with corrupt politicians in African like my country Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@Dorian_sapiens]

Colonialism didn't end, it just adapted to new conditions. The Africans I listen to, when they speak of the end of classical colonialism in Africa, don't say that African societies gained independence. They say those societies gained "flag independence": they are independent in name only, and all they have to show for it is a new flag.

[@danwelterweight4137]

Just like feudalism and serfdom didn't end. There are still landowner nobles and serfs.

[@dukewilliam3660]

A flag and a national anthem. Sad

[@kim1570]

​@@dukewilliam3660 Correct. Africa gained self rule and not true independence.. and even then, our so-called self rule is still meddled with via interference with our political systems.

[@bahacho9205]

As an African i can only agree with you

[@Kemet3.0]

No way, China has its own issues, and their systems are struggling. They overbuilt, and now even civil service, doctors, and the banking sector are laying off employees or cutting jobs. Africa needs the African Diaspora to form and work with Japan who is actually kin to West Africa. Japan's and African have hidden roots! Their is intriguing history of African influence on Japanese culture, from the ancient trade routes to the modern-day cultural exchange. Explore the connections between Japanese and African traditions, and uncover the mysteries of Japan's African heritage. STUNNING evidence of Ancient African settlement and royalty in Japan. Checkout the Green Sahara Part 2 ... Above The Clouds. He breaks down art, language, culture and names. I don't want Africa to follow China crooked system.

[@hengng4414]

Work with China 100 %, no stealing, no frauds, no thefts, and Africa will be the #4 economic superpower in the world. If the Prime Ministers in Africa are stealing money, resources and playing superpower rivalries between Russia China US and NATO, Africa will be the poorest continent in the world for 1000 years. Your Ministers know what to do, ask your Ministers why they achieve nothing in twenty years?

[@hehe8012]

This is the first time Africa’s problems were laid out clearly and specifically. Good video, excellent content.

[@blackcloud5873]

Western powers go overseas, observe underdeveloped lands, and attribute the people's inability to racial differences. This mindset of Western dominance leads to the establishment of the "rules-based order" that Westerners talk about. The West believes that their way of life is the standard, but the truth is far from it. The conquered people are not in competition with the West nor do they desire to be. People in the global south have different philosophies of life and no desire to pursue materialistic riches or disrespect and exploit the earth as the West does. Their way of life has existed since the dawn of mankind. The earth is 4.5 billion years old, and the way the West treats the earth ultimately leads to its destruction and the potential extinction of humankind. Unfortunately, the West beast cannot change themselves and its superego will not allow it. Their mindset is to continually control everything and everybody, to put their nose in other people's business, to go into people's houses with a smile while hiding a dagger in their clothing. The West can't change their winning formula over others. But the Global South can protect themselves and their way of life.

[@OluseniIsaacs]

The global south can save the world with BRICS!

[@Comfy8443]

And you think China's mindset will be different? I'm African American and Chinese offer no benefits to African Americans being in their neighborhoods. Chinese Americans mostly believe African descendants are inferior intellectual. We have protested them here in African communities. Until Africans change their mindset they will not see that you dont need China. Africans need excellent leaders who care about their people. Botswana is an excellent example.

[@ngutumpuennutu2836]

Algeria is in cooperation with France to pillage the malian raw materials and particularly oil and gas.

[@nalaabdou9747]

No joining hands will happen anytime soon with North Africa. They do no consider themselves as Africans and they said it time and time again. Black africans that live in north Africa all have stories of being called slaves, monkeys....in 2022 or 2023 in Tunisia they literally went hunting for blacks, landlords put black tenants out, their belongings were lotted, there were bitten. Some military in north Africa in the last 3 years repeatedly took black africans torn their residency documents and abandoned them in the desert with nothing more than the clothing ,all nice things were taken away and they were left to die in the desert. Look for the recent history of Mali and Algeria..

This interview highlights a crucial discussion on the systemic challenges facing Africa, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding and proactive strategies to break free from the structures that perpetuate underdevelopment. It's a call to action for rethinking and reshaping the continent's future. China has smart policies and I hope the African leadership learn to make bold decisions to work with China. Great conversation from both of you.

[@qingzhou9983]

Wow! This guy is really Smart. Hi provided the only viable strategy for African I have heard so far. Let me endorse his approach with few more points. 1) China is moving up the value chain, because it has to continue to provide its people with better life And escape the Middle-Income traps. This means China has to move its lower cost manufacturing outside China (anyone who works in these low cost companies could not has a life of developed world). Currently China is moving mostly to Eastern Asia. It could be Africa, especially the agriculture and clothing sectors. 2) Africa as a continent has always been the biggest supporter of PRC since its founding. China trusts Africa. This is extremely important. Otherwise it would not move more advanced technology, like the manufacturing of Rare Earth Minerals, to Africa. 3) Chinese people respect its ancestors the most as a Civilization, this is the core of Confucianism. And All humans came out of Africa. It is the duty and honor for all Human to rebuild our oldest Ancestor’s home! Chinese will be proud to contribute to that! (Chinese people are very sensitive to the Honor. We call it “The Face”)

The West owns 1 trillion dollars worth of mining rights in Africa , many of these deals having been made Immediately after colonization. Britain exports 6 billion dollars worth of RAW GOLD to Switzerland, despite the fact they have No gold. France got uranium worth a third of its price from Niger for 60 years!

[@alexanderleipold4842]

Fadhel Kaboub is so on the spot. It is mutual beneficial industrial development that will get Africa out of IMF style colonial debt trap policies. It is the people of the African nations that need to "convince" their governments to do what is required for real development and for a just economic transition. During recent protests in Kenya Gen Z educated themselves about the need to get rid of the petty bourgeoisie on their way to prosperity, and to economic and social justice.
