Would communism be good for poor African countries?

[TerminallyChill]

Maybe not full blown communism yet but Socialism can and would work in Africa but it requires African people to be in control of their own resources, which the West and now China will never let happen. Why do you think every actual Libertarian Leftist leader has been assasinated or coup'd by the CIA, MI6, DGSE, SIRP etc... like Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara, Kwame Nkrumah, Amilcar Cabral. Gaddafi is an honorable mention, he definitely wasn't leftist but he wad murdered by Obama and Hillary's state department because he was trying to nationalize Libyan oil and start a universal Africa currency tied to African mineral wealth.

The poverty in Africa has nothing to do with ideologies. Its to do with stability as well as the geography, none of which is that impacted by communism.

You're confused about both.

Communism is not a monolith, there are many different types.

African countries are feeder states to their former colonial powers. But aside from South Africa, most are actually semi autonomous states within states.

[tartaarsaus]

Nope. Communism would be pretty terrible for developing countries, such as most in Africa. It fundamentally does not work economically

[Happy7777]

Communism is NOT good for anyone except dictators!
