Subject: RE: BS: If Africa had not suffered Colonialism
colonialism is just a restricted context for exploitation, if merely considering the negatives. Exploitation has existed since man got up and walked. The early factories of the industrial revolution were not a worker's paradise. They did not replace cottage industry to give the workers better conditions, quite the reverse.child exploitation

" If Africa had not suffered Colonialism" This phrase rather suggests a situation that once existed"
Put Neo on the front of colonialism and has anything really changed.
More a case of the multinationals raping and pillaging with the tacit acceptance of the old colonial masters, aided by American hegemony
