I've been reading up on colonial and post colonial African countries. The same pattern befalls them.

There doesn't seem to be a solid purpose to driving every successful African state to chaos & poverty. Expanding communism may have once been the goal, supplying bodies & resources to fuel more communist expansion. But that (as far as I know) was contained to Africa.

The three objectives I can see are: denying other nations the resources of Africa, a powerful source of destabilization that can "used" by dragging nations in or moving people out and building upon the results, a massive wealth theft & "redistribution" mechanism through which individuals & organizations gain power & wealth and unsustainable governments are funded.

This can't be random, not with the U.N. and communist countries doing the exact same things, over and over.

Have we witnessed large-scale socialist experimentation ?

I see it as simple unwillingness on the part of post WWII Progressives in the U.S. to see reality.

According to them, the only thing holding back African countries is Colonialism and Racism.

Therefore, when Black African leaders repeatedly fail, and drive their countries into pre-colonial poverty and violence, it *must* be caused by colonialism and racism.

So they just keep on doing the same stupid things, over and over.
