How French Speaking Africa Can End French SOCIALISM Rule – September 1, 2023
First and foremost, the likely reason these coups are happening is because of France’s NATO involvement in the Russia-Ukrainian war. It’s not a secret that a lot of African leaders have ties to Russia. Russia has often been a savior for the developed world, especially in terms of defending themselves and Russians have never had expansion aspirations.
People tend to forget that Russia has gone through a lot of secession movements; Ukraine used to be a part of what is now Russia. Sure it’s easier to look at the world through the eyes of NATO and the West but there are a lot of moving parts.
If Africans want to rid themselves of the French menaces’ they should STOP SPEAKING FRENCH
For the life of me, I don’t know why any nation outside of France would CHOOSE to speak French based on the economies of almost every French speaking nation. When it comes to Switzerland the French and the Italians per capita are the poorest, and the German speaking Swiss tend to be the most wealthy.
Now, most NATIONS outside of Italy don’t speak Italian, because there are limited economic opportunities in Italy. People tend to forget how worthless the Lira was, the weak Lira was one of the reasons so many Italians left Italy. With that said, Italy and France have around the same population and I’d argue if Italy was more involved in the colonial era, they’d be wealthier than France is today.
But I remind the reader that the population of France is less than 60 million people. Meaning the France is relatively a very SMALL market. In the West Indies, French speaking Haiti remains the POOREST nation.
In most of the French speaking Caribbean islands a lot of the people speak other languages like English because there are MORE economic OPPROTUNITIES when you speak English.
Now, if you’re not speaking English, the other alternative in my opinion would be German. Germans are very industrious and the German Population is 83 million. English is probably the better language, because the U.K has 67 million people, Canada, has around 40 million people, Australia has 25 million people and the United States has 330 Million people.
What I’m getting at here is that economic opportunities are more wide spread for English speaking Africans than French speaking Africans. Nigerians I think are one of the largest black ethnic groups in America and they’re doing better economically than the over all black America population.
Personally I don’t think it wise for Africans to leave the continent, but it will be VERY difficult for French speaking Africans to learn the language of MONEY speaking French.
Frédéric Bastiat isn’t exactly popular in France, whereas the market is saturated with capitalists writers all over America and the English speaking western world. Does the English speaking West have a socialist problem? Absolutely, however they also have a lot of people who know how to solve POVERTY, and who are willing to solve it free of charge.
You learn another people’s language only if there is economic benefit for you, in Europe a lot of different nations learned German out of economic necessity. Germans have been industrious for a long time and it’s for this reason that people who want better lives often learn that language.
Africa continues to allow herself to be exploited, why? Well, because of the leadership, getting corruption out of your nation is difficult, however looking out for ones self interests shouldn’t be difficult
The West African nations of Ghana and Liberia struggle economically because the embraced socialism, however some individuals within those nations managed to escape, and because they speak English it’s easier for them get around in other English speaking nations, the same is of course, true for Nigerians.
Haitians typically find it difficult to survive economically in English speaking countries because not only do Haitians speak French, they speak French creole, imagine speaking broken French and then having to learn English?
In no way am I saying Africans should abandon their homeland or their native tongues, but economically English is the best language to learn, the French are able to hold Africans hostage and French speaking African nations, will find it more difficult to speak the language of international business which is currently English.
The French embrace a democratic socialist economic model that makes them extremely dependent on exploiting Africa. If you believe in socialism, you have to be a CAPITALIST first, because socialism doesn’t attract capital it REPELLS it. I personally do business with the U.S, Canada, China, Pakistan, India and Germany. As a Canada and this is true in most parts of Canada, the English business tend to NOT want to do business in the province of Quebec, because of their French-heritage civil law system of governance.
For Canadians French-heritage civil law makes doing business extremely difficult and this is one of the reasons why even some French speakers in Canada not only leave Quebec, but in some instances abandon the French language altogether.
Most people have to be INCENTIVIZED to speak a language, and one has to wonder what the incentive is for Africans to speak French? What is the economic benefit to speak French in Africa?
When it comes to business, France for me is not even worth considering, France is very dependent on Africa, and Africans dependence on France in my view stems from Africans volunteering themselves to speak French.
With that said I have to also point out that Africans should be aware that Russians could be behind these coups, meaning that their new African military leaders, may if fact want to install their own Russian backed leadership.
Furthermore before abandoning France, these former French colonies, should be clear about what direction they want to take their country. Because if it’s one thing I’m certain of is that toppling of an old government is the fun part, REBUILDING and maintaining order while respecting people’s human rights and property, that’s something entirely different.
So I hope Africans can learn for their past and not repeat the same mistakes.
Interesting times ahead
