Marshall plant rebuilt European industry
Aid in Africa effectively replaces it, making competition and business growth impossible

Europe had no niggers
>Had
Reeeee

You need a political and social environment conducive to economic growth.

Most of Europe was governed by relatively stable, functional nation-states with effective civil service and rule of law.

Most of Africa consists of kleptocracies.

S.Africa was first world until niggers chinped out. Why don't people address the elephant in the room?

That's a sentiment I've never agreed with. A huge portion of the country was black or colored so they had to live like the 3rd world, like by law. Now the playing field is level. It's equally shitty for everyone but still much better than being eternally relegated to the townships

>white people develop states over the course of thousands of years
>black people get thrust directly from the neolithic into the 20th century
>white people do better

No shit.

One of the biggest problems in africa is the lack of a good legal structure. Most western legal precedent goes back hundreds if not thousands of years in the west. For example, there was recently a debate in kenya as to whether or not to institute an age of consent law.

>Most of Europe was governed by relatively stable, functional nation-states with effective civil service and rule of law.
Wut? The post ww2 nation states (for example Italy) were extremely unstable,

By Europe standards, yes.

By Africa standards, that's top of the line shit.

Also, Italy had the CIA skulking around to make absolutely sure the communists didn't get anywhere near power.

Blacks weren't South Africans. They are invaders of the Boer states. Niggers didn't built Johannesburg,Cape town or Pretoria. They just invaded it and made it shit.

Africa's primary issue is bad governance, not lack of stuff. Marshal Plan worked for the reason stated, despite the war western Europe had the most plenty of educated people, functional governments and established markets. Given some material aid they didn't have massive issues with illeteracy, massive corruption or lack of rule of law to deal with.
Now if you go to a place such as Somalia there's none of that. On top of it, nation state is an institution that functions well if people share a common identity that isn't overcome by a shared identity of a smaller group. Most European countries have had the luxury to homogenize their population in ways that would probably be lauded as unethical these days, while single African countries tend to have a bunch of local languages. Single identity and language helps since it's easier to trust other people and create faceless bureaucracies that operate through rules rather than personal relationships. Case in point, Somalia has the problem that when a member of one of the prominent clans wins the presidential election, every major public servant gets kicked out and replaced by people from the president's clan.

Because niggers don't have the genes for intelligence.

/pol/tards are like cute children, everything is so easy to explain in their world

South Africa was a very strong legal system until niggers chimped out.

I think we can agree the comparison OP made are nonsensical and therefore pointless. Whether post-war Italy, France, West Germany etc were more stable than modern Cameroon, Tanzania, Botswanan is certainly dependent on what one considers stability to mean.

Botswana is basically the only country in Africa that functions pretty well as a nation state and is entirely run by the descendants of the natives. But it's an outlier, apparently it's a strikingly homogenous society and they have a tradition of political consensus which is pretty unheard of in Africa.

Botswana is run by a nigger that is a puppet to some white owned diamond companies

Yet they've had no major conflicts before or after De Beers found diamonds.

Europe was already developed, the Marshall Plan was just a set-up to gain control over the emerging industries of Western Europe.

South Africa is currently richer and has less crime than it did under apartheid.

Actually, aid to Africa has had a lot of success.

>South Africa is currently richer and has less crime than it did under apartheid.
Did you posted this with a straight face?

Another thing I would like to add is that even though Europeans did leave behind infrastructure like telegraph lines and railways in colonies, all of that falls apart quickly if you don't have the industrial base or administration to support it. You need engineers, pencil-pushers, factories, coal mines, workshops, and so forth to keep them running, and almost none of these were present in Africa after European withdrawal.

I think this is a very essential issue that people who do development aid often fail to recognize.
It's a complete waste of time and money to go to the most remote locations of the poorest countries in the world and try to build a school, health clinic or improve agricultural produce if it requires the sort of maintenance the locals don't know how to do or afford to buy.

How about you look at actual crime statistics instead?

It's all le ((lie)) guys muh redpill! muh redpillllllllllll!!!!!!

>S.Africa
>first world

Found the dirty colonial.

Your ancestors got exported to Africa or Australia or whatever because they were shit who couldn't compete with competent people back in Europe. You and the Africans deserve each other.

Victorian era Britain was hardly a pinnacle of meritocracy.

...

So crime peaked after the Apertheid felt and is high as fuck despite not being terrorist groups in the country?

Victorian era Britain practically invented the concept of social and economic mobility.

>less crime
theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/29/south-africa-a-country-at-war-as-rate-soars-to-nearly-49-a-day

You must be a black south africna only blacks are this delusional.

>I can't read a since graph

The end of apartheid is right at the peak you idiot. It fell rapidly after that.

Apetheheid felt in 1992

There is a critical lack of human capital in parts of undeveloped Africa.

Yes, less crime. Maybe you read the article you faggot. It's about a short term increase from 2014 to 2015, which is still much lower than it was under apartheid. You obviously just googled "high crime rate south africa" and posted the first result without reading it.

1994

>actually went up by .28 since 1990
hdr.undp.org/en/composite/trends

Which corresponds almost perfectly with the peak.

>.28
.045, read it wrong

The situation was very different, economically, geopoliticaly, I don't know where to begin

In many regions in Africa today, GDP per capita is lower even than Europe just after the war. Some estimates put it lower than medieval peasants, though I'm not sure how accurate that comparison is, they are easily in the same ballpark.

During the cold war marxist guerrillas supplied by the Soviet Union with ak47s tore apart newly independent countries, the wars prevented development. Later lack of security manifested in authoritarian regimes, corruption and political instability.

In the developed world you can get a bigmac at every airport for about the same price, we imagine that you can build a road or whatever in Africa for the same price and boost the economy that way. In reality most will be wasted due to corruption and inefficiency, the more money you throw at it the greater the proportion that is lost, so there is only so much that can be done.

>In the developed world you can get a bigmac at every airport for about the same price, we imagine that you can build a road or whatever in Africa for the same price and boost the economy that way.

Lol no.

>it's another retard who didn't even bother finishing reading the post before he whipped up a premium smug shitpost

Thats why South Africa is mostly a complete shithole right? I mean ignoring the pretty settlements that were all built by white Boers, South Africa is just a bunch of run down black areas full of crime and chaos that the government pretends doesnt even exist due to their sociopathy.

You ass post isn't any better

>south Africa was built by boers

Stop it.

m8, every place that is outside your comfy western european country is a shithole. Middle america is a shithole.

Not calling anyone out but I believe that this aggregate study shows an overall decrease in crime but percentages are small

The reasons are

-The tax base for poor nations are shit.

-Most companies aren't interested in engaging in these projects because there's little to get out of them. There's no fucking point to it, no point in taking up extra challenges to build shit to make not that much money. You can easily extract more money from poor places because competition for bidding isn't that good until China started putting a heavy foot in the ring. Port-Gentil is a port in Gabon that is COMPLETELY isolated from the rest of the nation but only China was willing to do it for a feasible price. China is still making a profit out of it but Western companies just don't want to do it for those prices.

-acquiring loans is pretty iffy since they could be high interest loans, or require very heavy conditions on them or unavailable. Even if you play your cards right your credit rating isn't that much of a confidence boosting measures for others because no credit is still just another kind of bad credit.

-Obtaining materials being hard and shipping them to the construction place. You need infrastructure to be able bring stuff to build infrastructure. Port-Gentil the closest Quarry is 300 km away.

-Infrastructure needing to be adapted to the local climate and specializing it for that and environmental constraints. Optimal routes going through national parks is very controversial,wildlife inteferance, and jungles, mountains and swamps require you to be very careful in dealing with them. Worst part for jungles is that infrastructure maintenance is heavily bumped up due to humidity and green life encroachment and swamps aren't exactly stable.

-Infrastructure maintenance requires a lot of a money. Hell Norway has pretty bad infrastructure relatively despite it's wealth and the U.S's infrastructure is falling apart due OT the sheer lack of getting governments at various levels and people on board with it.

One should note that Infrastructure is heavily developing across the continent.

>south Africa wasn't built by boers
t.Amelouko T'jemba Wiliouili

Britain was the one that made South Africa worth a shit.

this

This.

The marshal plan was a full effort to rebuild the industry of Europe and make it self sustaining.

African first aid is really just a dumping ground for all of America's subsidized bullshit like corn and it ruins local African farms and businesses by flooding the market with shit they can't compete against.

Why do you conflate all Aid with that? Why does everyone do that?

By "worth a shit" do you mean billions of dollars poorer by stripping of its gem wealth?

No the worst shitholes are in the black section of Africa.

Not really that wealth went back into South Africa because SA needed it to be able to develop, alongside the white population being high enough that it needed that developments and other things to cater to them.

SA got a huge amount of money by basically reducing Black and Coloured wages to extremely rock bottom levels to make the mining industry actually tunr a profit early on in the early 20th century. Funny fact: Blacks wages actually only surpassed 1930's levels in the 70's.

Because white people exploited Africa for more than 300 years. The continent still hasn't recovered from this damage, and white people still have no intention of fixing it, they are just throwing food at black people to keep their mouth shut.

I feel like the governments of white countries have a secret pact to keep Africa down because they are afraid of another superpower emerging.

But thankfully Mother Africa is getting fed so well that a lot of black people will exist in the future while Europe for example is slowly going down the shitter from a demographic standpoint.

tl;dr white people expoited africa, made pseudo-scientifial justifications for that (muh master race)

Buddy, global warming is going to fuck Africa long before it can reach superpower status.

Why could whites exploit Africans and not the other way around?

Because white people killed, genocided and murdered millions of black people and gave us nothing in return, they used pseudo-scientifical justifications along the lines of "muh master race" to bring such suffering upon this beautiful continent.

White people being exploited is not because of black people, it is just that white people will become an even bigger minority in the future and black people will eventually move into Europe.

Black people are not genociding, murdering and raping white people.

>Not center europe
>Your dream is not to buy a large mansion 20 minutes from prague and marry a local girl
You are a massive pleb

>Justifing exploitation of weaker people

Why did its life expectancy lower so much then?

How many Africans died directly at the hands of Europeans*? How many Africans have killed each other since Europeans left?

* Congo was mostly Africans killing Africans

>white people exploited Africa for more than 300 years.

Do you apply that to subsahara Africa? Ethiopia was only a colony for about 5 years and no subsaharn colony bar South Africa and Zanzibar came even close to having exploitation for that long.

Lol it's the same person I guess who brings this fact up without even fucking understanding it at all.

Who gave the commands :^)

...

Many places were living like tribes. Why is it expected that in so few years they are already building successful nations?

you would probably be dying of aids in an even more festering shit hole without colonization bringing western technology to you.
chinks are colonizing africa as we speak and they well be much less benevolent.
all you do is blame others and never better yourself, that's the problem with niggers
sort yourself out

Why the fuck does this place obsess so much about Africa? How is Africa affecting your life? Leave them alone.

Why can le joos exploit you and not the other way around?

>all you do is blame others and never better yourself
you sure you're not talking about /pol/ here?

>chinks are colonizing africa as we speak and they well be much less benevolent.

China isn't colonizing in anyway. I love how idiots emphasis this point in trying to evoke the argument of "wish we were back?" kind of point to feel better. A ton of them post some very out of context quotes by Michael Sata or someone else who is African.

It's a huge complex.

You probably went to another thread to blame jews for all the problems in the world after you posted this.

not him and not from /pol/ but it kind of checks out.

Are you talking about the genes thing?

china is building infrastructure in exchange for raw materials to manufacture. The only difference is the loss of sovereignty over where they are doing this. Also, their trade with Africa shits all over local manufactures and hurts their economic development because it pushes them out of trade. It's as close as colonialism as you will get in this day and age.
i dont go to /pol/

IQ

honest, short answer: BBC

Anyone that could apply themselves and rebuild these places leaves them for Europe and the US.

Americans worship the BBC:

My sister in law is from a prominent Métis (mixed race) family in what was once called Zaire.

Their elite are totally disinvested from the people Moise was a shift in that but suffice to say he had his own wealth unlike others but basically in exchange for NGO money the corrupt gave lucrative deals to mines and timber.

It's pocketed by elite, nations under NGOs get what they really want under the guise of humanitarianism. It also screws over a host of occupations in the land and facilitates their upper class to school and work elsewhere globally further seperatist them from the people and contributing to braindrain

Because nobody wants to admit the Founder effect also influences intelligence and behavior.

Racism is valid.

This is an overlooked factor. Multi ethnic nations always have that anchor to deal with, and multicultural even more so. Being non homogeneous is a major handicap that even rich countries struggle with, despite propaganda claiming that diversity is a strength.

>Buddy, China is going to fuck Africa long before it can reach superpower status.

Fixed that for you.

I mean, there's no great nigger leaders during and post ww2.

Don't be stupid. You can air dropped ten thousand Africans into European societies thereby giving them fully developed legal systems and they will still disproportionately turn to crime. The laws in Africa are plenty developed. The problem is a lack of actual civic culture, without which laws are worthless.

Intelligence is in fact the number variable that predicts success in life. This has been demonstrated countless times, and it surprises no one. And blacks have a mean IQ that is one standard deviation lower than that of whites. As a race, exactly what kind of life would you expect them achieve?

>Victorian era Britain practically invented the concept of social and economic mobility.

It's philosophers did, not it's industrialists. You only need to read Dickens to know that. Victorian England was deeply riven by rigid class lines.

>Victorian era Britain practically invented the concept of social and economic mobility.
Are you seriously going to argue that the entirety of Britain was on board? I'm sure as shit the work house owners weren't, or the mine owners.

The peak is at 1992 you fucking dullard, crime fell post apartheid.

Peak is at 95.You can't read a graph to save your live because you are [spoiler] a nigger [/spoiler]

>Moise

Lol no moise tshombe was a total cuck for Belgian Mining interests 100%. The guy hired fucking mercenaries.

>It's as close as colonialism as you will get in this day and age.


That's no comparison in any stretch if the imagination.

Somalia is mono ethnic and it's pure shit though.

That would make non-Africans dumber because the founder effect gives negatives due to low populations and inbreeding. Why the hell you think it would give positives due to some arbitrary factor?
