Funny how Black people are hated by almost every minority group on earth almost like we’re the ones who colonized, and exploited everybody.

Or maybe God is what some people use to find meaning

Life is meaningless without GOD.

@denhosea6 You are right. My point was about human history in general, but I agree that Africa had successful systems before colonial disruption

[Àyànfè @Danny456080]

For most of human history, poverty was the default there wasn’t enough to go around.

Today we have enough for everyone, modern poverty isn’t scarcity, it’s maldistribution.

That’s a political choice, not a natural condition.

@QkrSocialist That is the shift we need.

Moving from growth for the sake of profit to growth centered on human needs

[Àyànfè @Danny456080]

Capitalism chose to build an infinite growth engine on a finite planet to serve infinite greed.

[Àyànfè @Danny456080]

@thomascmountain It is hard to name a success when outside forces and internal instability shut them down before they could grow

[Àyànfè @Danny456080]

Almost every socialist government that failed in the 20th century faced Western coups, sanctions, or assassination

@josephbakolawi Corruption is not about the system, it is about a lack of accountability.

Any system will fail if those in charge are not held responsible for their actions.

Socialism doesn’t work because as soon as a state turns socialist they randomly get invaded and bombed

It's not enough just to change the system.
We need to change ourselves."

Capitalism’s individualism isn’t about freedom, it’s about isolation.

Isolated workers can’t organize. Isolated communities can’t resist. Isolated nations can’t refuse IMF terms.

Individualism is the tool that makes extraction possible.

We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal."
