Why did Africa receive a disproportionate amount of foreign aid, and why did they accomplish so little with it? Keep your replies to events over 25 years old, folks.
>>18494697Funded their supreme leader's 25th mansion. Foreign aid is a scam
>>18494700>Foreign aid is a scamBut the same people who say this will turn around and say the only reason Europe recovered from WW2 and the only reason East Asia developed is because of foreign aid.
>>18494707NTA but there is a big difference between an economic development plan to reindustrialize Europe and giving free shit to African countries which harms local industries basically the opposite of the Marshall plan.It is no coincidence that Burkina Faso's period of greatest economic growth coincided with Sankara's government, which refused Western aid and funds from the IMF.
>>18494759If African countries misuse foreign aid, is that Africans' shortcoming or the fault of the foreign aid?
>>18494961>If African countries misuse foreign aidI'm not sure what this has to do with my post. If the West wanted to help those countries, it would have helped build factories or something, but an industrialized Africa would be too inconvenient for the West. If it were up to me, I'd follow the Sankara method, ban Western "aid" and send the old elite to prison, but I don't live in those countries, and it's up to them to pursue their own development path.
>>18494697Misleading premise. Marshall Plan Aid were a set of loans directly controlled by the US and Europe was mostly industrialized. It didn't really "start from scratch", same with Japan.Also that graph shows aid over the course of 60+ years and seems to promote the premise that every African state got equal amounts.>>18494707>>18494961"Aid" always was a veil to hide the reality that many were actually loans more or les. On top of that aid hinged on basically giving up sovereignty or policy decisions choices by a third party that have no real incentive on actually verifying if they were viable.
>>18495424>but an industrialized Africa would be too inconvenient for the West.Why would an industrialized Africa be inconvenient for the West, but an industrialized Asia wasn't?
>>18494697>Why did Africa receive a disproportionate amount of foreign aidFood surplus was dumped in africa to swell the population in preparation for their invasion of white nations, unleashing the hordes of dark hell-spawned demons upon the heavenly kingdom while simultaneously doing everything in their power to convince God's children that they deserve to die.
>>18495475>an industrialized Asia wasn't?China is very inconvinient. They were convinced that after liberalization they could dominate it because they weren't white like the Russians, but they were wrong. Now Western companies cry about "unfair" competition.
>>18495456Lmao ever since China began its infrastructure projects in Africa, the West has done nothing but fearmonger about Chinese "colonialism". They can't stand that China is fucking up the bag by helping those countries develop
>>18494759>It is no coincidence that Burkina Faso's period of greatest economic growth coincided with Sankara's governmentWell good news Burkina Faso is now being run by a Sankara LARPer and everything is just running swimmingly
>>18495499> helping those countries developI have heard nothing good about the chinks working there and I'm pretty sure their relationships with certain african countries is downright parasitic.
We know what this thread is about.Is Africa bad because of material or genetic conditions?If its genetic conditions then Marxism and Liberalism, Leftism generally is thoroughly refuted as bread and education is NOT actually enough.All programs, efforts, and idealism of the past 300 years was totally and utterly wasted.Well... Yes.It is genetic, yes Leftism is a waste.Communism as a system could work, but it requires intelligent White people to work.Liberalism as a system could work, but it requires intelligent White people to work.>MA PEEEPO GON BE POOOR FOE-EVAH??yeah they might be, and you deserve it because your ancestors decided to run around picking up guava fruits instead of wrestling mammoths.
>It's another foreign aid thread where half the posts are /pol/tards talking about TND and the other half are communists crying about neo-colonialism>>18495424>it's up to them to pursue their own development path.Every so called multi-polarist says shit like this but will start frothing at the mouth whenever a third world country decides to align themselves or enter into some form of agreement with the West.
>>18495528>I have heard nothing good about the chinksThey've done a lot of good work and they also do loan negotiations with states as well as private companies. >I'm pretty sure their relationships with certain african countries is downright parasitic.Lmao the Chinese have none of the direct power other foreign states have. They can't really dispose a guy and put in a patsy. Again what they are doing is literally just interacting with companies and states in Africa. How is literally doing investment or negotiations bad exactly? There's nothing stopping the US from using it's surplus of cash in investing in companies abroad in Asia and Africa. Alas they never really cared about that and the current POTUS is trying to extract Health+genetic data from several countries in return for Healthcare aid. Like what in the fucking world will they do with that data anyways? American pharmaceuticals and Healthcare gives no shits about black patients let alone white ones either. Sickle Cell might as well be magic to 90% of the hospitals in the US.
>>18495545>where half the posts are /pol/tards talking about TNDWe only had this schizo here >>18495539>the other half are communists crying about neo-colonialismAre you having hallucination?
>>18495475>industrialized Asia wasn't?An industrialized Japan, SK and Taiwan were meant to contain the reds and China was given support and assistance by various actors as a way to reinforce a notable rival of the USSR. As >>18495493noted, they operated off very delusional and nonsensical belief system of East Asian politics and history. A totally BS set of beliefs American policy makers still have of those people and states to this day like assuming SK and Taiwan would sacrifice their own trade and industry on the Americans behalf for little gain.
>>18495528>I have heard nothing good about the chinks working thereAnother poor victim of Western propaganda.
>>18495556>An industrialized Japan, SK and TaiwanThose countries were industrialized at the expense of US local industries btw
>>18495577The US local industries acked themselves for mostly different reasons. If those SK and Taiwan had a "slower" path the problems that manifested in American industry and techwould still remain. Such as with non-compete clauses currently and a tone of the American trade secret/knowledge being eroded by retirement and very cliquey refusal to pass it on to the younger gen.
>>18495523>Sankara LARPerSankara was a Marxist , Traore is a nationalist
>>18495580>The US local industries acked themselves for mostly different reasonsOutsourcing. The US should have never allowed companies to move production to Asia
>>18495588Nah that's just the coping line. Ither stayes just became more competitive while American industry failed to catch up, innovate and too prideful to copy the success of others. Even after castrating and fucking up labour organizing did little to become more inviting to potential window shoppers.
>>18495592>American industry failed to catch up, innovate and too prideful to copy the success of others.The cheap designs are still American
>>18495618Not exactly.
>>18495475Western states not investing in manufacturing and industry in Africa meant there would be no competition since all the later could do was just export minerals and unprocessed food/cash crops. They expected that Japan would be top dog and the rest trailing after in lower level manufacturing. Then many things changed, Taiwan and SK moved up the latter, China started becoming a premier manufacturering hub in the region as they started becoming big players in several major exports (like solar panels). India started becoming a major pharmaceutical precursor manufacturer alongside being huge in generics. Indonesia and Malaysia ate making huge strides. Many sectors that used to be the domain of several western states or the west in general started to erode as growing entitlement and lack of care in maintaining competitive advantage grew in equal amounts as seen in failing to invest in EV manufacturing (Germany, US) or solar panels research and manufacturing (Germany handing China the market despite a 10 year lead).So your wondering how does Africa factor into this decade long shift. Euro investors are starting to realize a continent exists south of them and after seeing how hard they fumbled and lost easy wins to China have started to think that a good countermeasure to them would be to invest in African manufacturing and infrastructure decades after everyone else as a way to deal with China. Problem is particular type of manufacturing nationalist rhetoric rampant in the West/Europe doesn't exactly exist in China one to one (China does kinda have one but its different). A European investment firm investing in an solar+EV bus company in Tanzania is no better than a Chinese one doing it because buying a bus that is cost effective and meets their needs is a win to them.
>>18495893Addendeum: Also a potentially fucked up thing that may occur is that the EU members may start pivoting to energy imports from NA/WA African energy because certain member states want to spread their energy sources out from being less dependant on Russia. Not sure how the USA, Norwegian and North African would fare as export clients though.
>>18495545>the country decidesThere's no such thing as "the country"as some abstract agent. The mental gymnastics to try to brand opposition to Western interests taking control of a country and then proceeding to rape everyone economically as hypocrisy is pretty impressive mental gymnastics
>>18494707Foreign aid and economic recovery plans are different thingsAre /pol/niggers intentionally this retarded?
>>18494961Africans' shortcoming paired with the paradox of foreign aid itself.
