Visited Dares Salam in 1962 as a boy, also went to Zanzibar, lovely place, beautiful tropical paradise. This was at the time when there was the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, still have some stamps from that era. Africa, fantastic continent with plenty for all messed up by corrupt small minded tribal people who cannot see beyond the end of their nose! Great pity for the inhabitants. Colonialism is definitely not the best thing but some of the benefits were food production, communications and transport infrastructure, hospitals, legal system and an end to slavery, resulting ultimately in improved mortality for the people. Is that better or worse than the tribalism that overtook the country in the post colonial era?

Depends on the nation. Congo now is in bad shape but much better than under Leopold. Rwanda also under indigenous rule is doing better than previously. They got rid of the race identification cards installed by Belgium authorities. Botswana also doing well. It’s a large continent, a lot going on. Without the shadow of a doubt Africa is doing better now than it was 20 years ago. Africa in the 80s and 90s was in free fall. From the genocides in central Africa to the civil wars in east and west, not to mention apartheid in the south and dictators all over the continent. Not all of the problems have left but many have been mitigated.

@@markm2092 Yes and no, it depends on what measurement you are using. If you speak generally then perhaps yes, but specifically, generally no. The mortality rate of any countries in Africa is now worse than before, I know people hated apartheid and I was no fan of it, but the average life expectancy of the people was the highest in Africa and was approaching first world levels, there were hospitals, railways, universities that had world class standards, a power grid that worked all the time, potable water from dams and taps, food that could be eaten, remember that Zimbabwe was the bread basket of Africa. Those were just a few of the advantages that were squandered by the ruling elites and government officials through their corrupt business practices. Botswana did a great job, Sir Seretse Khama was a great leader who was pragmatic and ran the country for the benefit of its people not himself and that is why they were, and are, so successful. Compare that to Zimbabwe's leaders who used to commandeer the Air Zimbabwe airlines aircraft to fly to Europe to go gambling, taking no account of the passengers or the important export airfreight that may have been on board! Mortality now is now at a third world level and the infrastructure, most of which was first class when they gained independence, has been let go and is now run down. Compare this to India where they held onto all of theirs, worked hard to maintain it and have successfully begun to improve it, same opportunities. You must remember that at the time of colonisation the world was a very different place and even in England times were tough with children of 8 or 9 years working with their parents in the coal mines, starting at 5 am and finshing at 8 pm, not seeing any sunshine and that is why rickets were so bad, never mind miner's lung. The cotton mills weren't much better. Based on Gandhi's experience of England, he felt that in some respects the English treated their own people worse than the colonials!

You know, the quote at about 14:25 "whether they wanted to be or not" immediately made Il Duce of the Socialist Freelance State Of Calunicornia, Gavino Newssolini's signature quote spring to mind. He told the people of his empire "it's gonna happen, whether you like it or not" when he overrode the state's rather surprising rejection of gay marriage in 2008, when Obama was swept to victory by a plurality of Regressives and Conservatives both. Most people would never guess that the same block of POC voters that loved Obama also disliked the idea of gay marriage. But the governor decided the people's feelings didn't matter one bit and the 9th circuit court of appeals overturned the wishes of the people. It's all part of the plan to depopulate the planet, I think. But that part is irrelevant. I was just struck by the phrase Dr Sowell used. I think that's the problem with socialism, because you have to force it upon people, which is why it never ever works. Now they are using the damn panic, I mean the "pandemic" as an excuse to try to lockdown everyone in the exact way the WEF has been wanting. They never gave up on Der Fuehrer's socialist dream...."today Europe, tomorrow the world." It's the first step in an enforced globalist socialist state. (see Australia lately). You have to separate out the "troublemakers" early. (which is, btw, one of the reasons Jack Dorsey announced that every tweet would be saved by the Library of Congress back when it was launched. Now if that wasn't an indication of something....at the time I thought it was to be a kind of snapshot of how people were thinking and feeling but that was before it got so threatening and mean. I think that is the true reason that Dorsey has stepped down. He doesn't have the stomach for how nasty this will get so he's turning it over to a man who comes from a controlling caste system that until the last 60 years or so was rather different from the USA and lacks a constitution guaranteeing freedom of speech and all the other things we take for granted)

As any socialist will tell you (every time another socialist experiment fails) it has never been tried: ..because citizens don't willingly give up their sovereignty ..because there will never be a society without a phat elitist political class ..because The State will never pass out the keys to the means of (money) production to the peasants ..because Communism is an _ideological umbrella_ for *2* _socio-economic models._ *Socialism* is a socio-economic system where the *State owns* the means of production and distribution. _Democrats_ began using the term *Progressive* in the 1920s to signify they adhered to the socio-economics of Mussolini's fascist Italy. They kept that name, progressive, until Benny invaded Ethiopia the 2nd time; new name: Liberal... so they were no longer _publicly associated with fascism._ 1920s Republicans, became Conservatives. _Conserving what?_ LIBERALISM! 1930s new name, RINO, not chosen but given 2015 HRC: I'm not a Liberal, I'm an old fashioned Progressive. ☝️ Maybe the only honest thing she has ever said! Today: Corporate: "united or combined into one body; _collective."_ • *Corporatism:* aka •corporate statism •mixed economy •state corporatism •crony capitalism •public-private partnership •state capitalism •syndicalism •social democracy •stakeholder capitalism is a political and economic system that seeks •social justice and •equity among individuals...Capitalism is an _Individualist society_ while Corporatism is a _collectivist society_ closely related to _fascism._ ☝️10 euphemisms for... *Fascism* is a socio-economic system, ideologically based on a relationship between _business and the centralized govt._ *Business-and-govt control* of •the market place, •repression of criticism/opposition, •exalting the state above individual rights. Mussolini used both terms interchangably Fascism is a marriage between corporations, media, and government for The Greater Good Of the State. - B Mussolini *The Doctrine of Fascism* Mussolini/Gentile (1932) "The XIXth century was the century of the Individual, we are free to believe that this is the “collective” century, and therefore the century of The State." - B Mussolini • 21st c _"Liberals"_ are NOT Liberals, they are _Progressives..._ a _euphemism_ for *Fascists* And Conservatives long ago forgot what the hell they were conserving! Conflating Euro Liberalism and American Liberalism leads to a misread. Eur threw off monarchies to champion the Collective; America threw off the monarchy to champion the Individual. Socialism has never been sustainable, they run out of money. With standardized (egalitarian) incomes and no businesses to tax, there's not enough money to sustain the collective. Hence, the need to colonize other states (like Ukraine, Crimea) for their resources. Mussolini crafted (1921) the first mixed economy. The Nordic Model is a collectivist "socio-" system built on a market "-economic" system. It's straight out of Mussolini's playbook! A decade later, along came that German racist, Adolf Hitler, who began (1934-39) privatizing segments of Germany's economy. In 1932, Mussolini during a conversation with Emil Ludwig, Mussolini described antisemitism as a "German vice". Despite the narrative, Mussolini was not a troglodyte. One trip to Russia revealed that socialism is unsustainable as a philosophy-in-practice; and he determined to do better-Marxism. Marxism 2.0 Proof: Liberalism in America 1776 = 1 Constitution 245 yrs. Liberalism in France 1789 = 11 Constitutions. ☝️ _Sustainability!_ The difference? Civil Rights for Individuals + a market economy. Mussolini split the difference, and kept the market economy. Why not the Bill of Rights? Because you cannot rob from the producer and give it to the non-producer without Authoritarianism. There's no way around Force in the Marxist Model. Make no mistake, fascism came out of the same Marxist stewpot as Lenin & Trotsky's socialism. Fascism is only on 'the right' as long as it's under the Marxist umbrella .. step out from the umbrella and it is easily seen for what it is: Marx' collectivism. Mussolini won the war .. he just didn't survive it. And btw .... *LIBERALISM* is: • _Cogito Ergo Sum_ (Individualism) • Civil Rights • a market economy

As a Canadian working in Tanzania 1967-1969 I saw the peak period of the so-called great socialist wonderland and the fawning praise of Nyerere. But this was typical of this era and the country became THE classic example of the experiment in this ideology. It failed naturally as everywhere else because it suppressed basic human self-interest. But underlying that was the even more insidious reality of un-controlled population growth. Late 60's population around 12 million. Now 62 million. There is no way any political or economic system can possibly succeed under that kind of mass inundation of mouths to feed. The ecological destruction is beyond a catastrophe, and their recent so-called leader, a devout Christian thinks it all up to "God". No hope for this country. Those who can will and are fleeing to the West.

@@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164 you’re misinformed on a few things. Firstly, most indigenous involvement in the colonization period was specialized for specific goals. For example, education was prioritized for the elites. Secondly the hunting of ivory and a majority of poaching practices is perpetuated by Asian influence. No African belief system believes ivory to be an afrodesiac or a cure to cancer. Asian cultures believe that and finance the ivory trade. Don’t forget that African wildlife biodiversity suffered mainly when outside influencers came in. The Masai kill lions but lived side by side by them for hundreds of years. Once development spurred on by colonization began thats when wildlife started to decline rapidly. Superstitions like albino hate are real but have significantly reduced. I myself am Ugandan and have seen how much such beliefs have been suppressed over time. They do have examples to follow and some have done so with some success Rwanda copied Singapore and is now one of the best nations to invest in. It’s also known for how easy it is to start a business. Similar things can be said about Bostwana. Africa in the 1970s 1980s and early 90s during decolonization was in FREEFALL.

Mwalimu Julius Nyerere did great things for Tz but also to Africa at the time. Many Africans have good memories of him and very thankful to his social and economic policies of that era. Tanzanians have enjoyed peace, something i cannot say for many African countries post independence. The economy declining was the results of sanctions and harsh penalties western imposed on Tanzania, which by the way forced him to even go more towards socialism. Most other African heroes went to him for education and wisdom on the independence they were sicking for. He was not perfect, but he was one of the best Africa needed then and I am sure many can agree that you cannot be able to talk about other Africa liberation without his name. Democracy for African countries is a topic for another day, but it would be wrong to judge him on merit of democratic norms.

Both countries were socialist dictatorships in their beginnings and had great Soviet and Chinese support. However, Kenya turned away from socialism earlier and gradually as it turned to the West. Tanzania remained loyal to the Soviets and continuously stifled growth through quotas and forced localised development(Ujamaa which literally means kinship). Along with forced seizures of land which was redistributed to incompetent friends of government. Kenya had this problem as well but it was limited to public land as Kenya has a form of eminent domain. Kenya has progressively become more democratic while Tanzania remains a communist regime akin to the Chinese Communist Party. CCM -> CCP, how original right? However, TZ also rejected western education in favour of teaching in Swahili, which lacked many crucial words and concepts necessary to modern education, leading to mediocre education. Most children and party members of the communist regime(Chama Cha Mapinduzi [lit]- Party of Change) were educated in Kenya and Uganda. TZ also supported coups in Uganda to gain leverage and turn it into a more ideologically aligned ally Being a socialist state, Tanzania had no recognition of property rights until long past Nyerere's death. His teachings have been arguably more detrimental to Africa than Nkrumah, a Ghanaian socialist thought leader. Every promising nation like Botswana and Rwanda(still a dictatorship) have completely cast off such principles of socialism and have become much better.

When Tz gained independence, it had no more that 2000 educated people throughout the country, most of them teachers and civil administrators for the colony. It's economy was much worse compared to that of Kenya, Kenya had a settler economy and much more was invested in Kenya than in Tanzania, so from independence Kenya had a much better position economically, far better than that of Tanzania. Tanzania was also a much difficult case to create a nation state, with so many tribes and little contact between them at all because transport within the country was so bad. What Nyerere did was create a nationality out of nothing. He created a multiethnic society through the collectivization villages, free education raised the literacy rate which was simply non existent prior to independence and a relatively stable and peaceful society. Compared to Kenya, Tanzania doesn't have any of the problems Kenya's successes has brought like tribalism, a huge wealth gap. Tanzania, through what Nyerere instituted, is in a much better situation and has a higher potential compared to what Kenya has.

Most of the Northern, North Western and Eastern Kenya are without power, piped water or a even murram road at the present day. I acknowledged the tribalism, which TZ also suffers from but you rarely see it due to rampant censorship. As recently as the Magufuli administration, it has been accused of favouring his tribe over others in many instances. Suluhu has shown no signs of bringing solutions either hehe. I want TZ to succeed since it has the potential to serve Africa as a manufacturing hub. I also like that the citizens speak Kiswahili primarily, despite it being forced by the state.

Yet given the 'liberator' status he enjoys from leftist writers who have a monopoly in narration of post colonial African history, he is viewed as a hero.

@@Yustis It is. Many Tanzanians escaped to Kenya and have thrived there. I have stayed in Tanzania for some time and I can say that Kenyans are far more resilient and hardworking than our TZ bros. Ujamaa created a mindset of least effort among the people akin to the Soviet "They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work"

I just watched this, almost 20 minutes of a view of Tanzania's development. Its unfortunately a horribly unbalanced account, and in too many instances simply misleading. I am surprised and disappointed at how naive and simplistic this narrative is. I accept that Sowell may not want himself to spend time digging into details, but certainly, at his level, with the help of research from some well read graduate assistants or others, or now even AI, he could have put his name to a more useful and informative narrative. Sad.

This one has no clue of what really Nyerere and Tanzania has to go though. Typical western view of point. And some stupid few Kenyans defending this nonsense.

@@davedimitrov He didn't say So well is wrong altogether, did you even read that. And it's true that He's got it wrong in certain aspects of the issue, you wouldn't expect a 19 Minute video to cover the whole picture of a nations history, not withstanding that Sowell has a negative bias towards socialism so he'd blame it for every misfortune of the country.

@@BaltimoresBerzerker a lot of it is inaccurate. but i understand, he is analyzing it as a western scholar, probably from the western written book, which at the time, were heavily biased. while I can't highlight all the inaccuracies, one of the more glaring ones is the history of Zanzibar and the coastal region. the region is known as the Swahili coast. it wasn't founded by Arabs or ruled by Arabs till the last 200 years. it was founded by the Swahili people, who were Muslims, hence the Arabic names. most swahili's mixed with Arabs, creating an interesting blend of people. for a matter of fact, Zanzibar wasn't the center of the coastal region. it was actually along with Mombasa ruled over by the Kilwa Sultanate, based in Kilwa, until the Portuguese and subsequent Omani invasions. even the Indian influence only came with the British.... like i said a lot of inaccuracies, I can't list them all. you are more than welcome to fact-check everything I've just said. but I am a Tanzanian historian.

@@HisFinEco thank you for replying, I appreciate it. I've only studied Nigeria and two other African countries in international relations so I'm not nearly as read on the topic as you. Wasn't Mr. Sowell mostly focusing on the last 200 - 300 years of the region's history? Anyway, thanks, I have some reading to do on the subject.

@@BaltimoresBerzerker In some ways he was, the bind is that it is impossible to understand the birth of Tanzania or Kenya without understanding the preceding history of the area, especially the Swahili coast. As Thomas Sowell stated, the interior almost had no civilization but the coast was on par with many of the developed cities around the world ( I invite you to read the writings of Ibn Battuta, I dare say the greatest Arab explorer and a contemporary of Marco Polo, who spoke at lengths about the magnificence of Kilwa, Zanzibar and it African rulers. or even the writings of the Portuguese, who shared his views.) I say all this as it touches on why Tanganyika(mainland) joined with Zanzibar(coastal). Till this day Tanzania's presidency rotates from a mainland usually Christian president to a coastal Muslim president. the current first female president is from Zanzibar and the previous was from the mainland. this is to maintain stability but also illustrates the divide. There are many more errors but overall I appreciate Thomas Sowell's work and this is by no means an attack on his person or brilliancy.
