Pls write something about how THE ONLY EUROPEANS POLICY IN AFRICA IS FASCISM... at least Franco and Mussolini and Hitler were theirs, yours... ride on and Thanks a lot for this
I have been thinking about this all afternoon. And I can't quite classify it as fascism because slavery wasn't carried out by fascist states--it was carried out largely by imperial families, sometimes with state-based parliaments in tow. 20th-century-style fascism, which we're still dealing with, came AFTER the British East India company impoverished what was then the richest country in the world by taking roughly $7 trillion dollars worth of natural resources out of it and considering the Indians, who were the 2nd oldest civilization in the world, second class citizens by virtue of skin color. But what happened in Africa was much, much worse that than. The poster child for this one is what happened in the Congo with Leopold II of Belgium gaining control of the entire area, all its people, and all its as a PERSONAL POSSESSION bestowed upon him by a consortium of WESTERN nations, including Great Britain and the United States. Leopold II is personally responsible for the murders of somewhere between eleven and twenty MILLION people. That is more people than were shipped from Africa to the New World as slaves during the entire period of slavery. The viciousness of what he did rivals what Hitler did the Jews. Leopold had his soldiers amputate the limbs of those who stole food AFTER taken all the food they had. His reasoning was that amputations saved the money had spend on the bullets to kill them. It was only after missionaries started sending photographs and after Joseph Conrad wrote the novella HEART OF DARKNESS that the world began to fing out what was going on. The Belgian people didn't know what their had done for at least half a century and have never paid any reparations. The British nation once owned most of the world, its Queen Catherine made an unimaginable fortune in the slave trade, so when British subjects, alerted by a slave ship doctor named Alexander Falkenbridge wrote to Parliament to protest the hideous treatment of blacks captured for slavery. The gears of Parliament ground slowly but finally took Britain out of the slave trade. African potentates immediately petitioned Britain NOT to stop slave trading as they were making a fortune off treating their own people as a CROP to be harvested for profit. ... From the beginning, this has been the work of powerful royalty, not state fascism. And although racial bigotry is a PART of fascism, it is RACISM ITSELF--the stunning decision that some people are less than human and can be used for labor AS IF THEY ARE ANIMALS--that has soaked the African continent in blood and set into the soul of blacks everywhere the grief and trauma that it will take centuries to heal. ... So, I don't see it as fascism--or if it is, it is now CORPORATE FASCISM (and it may be)--but I note with great rage that Queen Camilla, rather than even thinking about returning it to South Africa (from which it was stolen) had the unfeeling and nauseating CRASSNESS to have the Cullinan diamonds--WHICH WERE ONCE THE BIGGEST CLEAR DIAMOND IN THE WORLD--re-cut again into more smaller pieces. When I heard about it I was so angry I cried. Have you ever been so angry you cried?? It's such a strange feeling. It's a hopeless feeling. ... So, let me think on this. But I will definitely write you something on this. But I want to think about this until I'm clear, because I'm not sure what happened was or is, academically speaking, fascism. It may be something we need to give a name to that separates it from the military-industrial-state fascism which incorporates racism into a larger deadly animal. ... Thank you so much for writing.
I would. Remember how France has just been kicked out of 4 countries in Africa: Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger... with the French ambassador refusing to leave after his persona non grata status and The Françafrique nonesense or the British and their stranglehold on African nations... even Mussolini invaded Libya and Ethiopia ... that’s it because they are of a different race it’s not COLONIALISM OR NEOCOLONIALISM it’s fascism pure and simple
That has left Africa devastated
Just like Germany Italy Spain and Japan were devastated when the fascist regimes were run over
What else do European countries marauding Africa for centuries want to be called... well I’m gonna start writing a book equating their frivolous acts to fascism ... they even pick African ladies and just kill them when they get pregnant and want to have the child
