@miromanempire@IanECox No, slave trade was started by then 'business men' with no social bonds. You are talking from a point of ignorance while all these information is available for free.
@miromanempire@IanECox Like I said, do research. Kingdoms were very rare, council of elders was central. If we were talking both of us from research, it would be easy for you to understand. The difference between dominant and occasional governance system is key.
@miromanempire@IanECox Every leader was selfless because 1. That was a way of life 2. Consequences were severe 3. Value was in social cohension than individualism
@miromanempire@IanECox You may want to do a bit of research, no system is modern; democracy was more effective in Roman era than now. Africa had chiefdoms, a senior chief was more symbolic than an all powerful leader. Real power was in councils.
@miromanempire@IanECox Which system did they use if not a market-socialism? I never said anything about Nyerere, I said at every leadership rank, you need honesty and selflessness.
@miromanempire@IanECox You can't be a socialist leader if you are corrupt in any rank. That what Africans avoided for thousands of years.
So ujamaa didn't fail, leaders failed. Get right leaders like Xi then it will work.
@miromanempire@IanECox No, fundamentally the government replaces communical ownership to ensure everyone gets a share of the pie. That was the system in African countries. Land, businesses and resources were owned communinnaly and leaders had a greater say in distribution and utilization.
@HassanAduklq@OgbeniDemola What is the tangible importance of prayers like you can point out in creativity and innovation to humanity? The moment believers will be locked for a prolonged time in prayers and they manage to generate anything tangible, then we can agree it's important.
@miromanempire@IanECox It's when no child is fatherless or motherless, socialism is when you can't sleep hungry or thirsty because the neighbors cares you are not as lucky. Socialism is when those responsible for leadership focus more on socialeconomics other than market economies.
