I also have a hard time believing that somehow, the drought that is happening in the horn of Africa is caused by imperialism / capitalism. Sure... it's because of global warming, but I hardly believe that people drive cars to make Africans starve... that's ridiculous.
@HewettT2 Again, I can’t tell if you’re deliberately or accidentally missing the point!? Climactic episodes are natural events (leaving aside the issue of climate change for now!); human suffering as a result of them is not.

@HewettT2 The potato famine (failure of a single crop in 1850s Ireland); Hurricane Katrina; The famine in Ethiopia, Haiti’s earthquake, etc., etc. The suffering cased was all entirely due to the capitalist/imperialist economic relations that separated the victims, from the means to alleviate their suffering.
@HewettT2 They had all been impoverished and made dependent on the worst crops, the poorest land, and were simply not recognized by a financially (and racially) motivated system as being worth ‘relieving’.
@HewettT2 That's kinda the point, mate! Why doesn't it happen? [you: Stop fcuking selling flowers and start growing and selling food instead] Because large monopoly finance capital interests linked to the US and UK prevent it from happening. And when a regime really does look after its people, and 'neglect' the interests of former colonialists/onging financial capitalist bandits, well, well, if they don't become public enemy number one a la ZANU-PF (Mugabe) and Libya (Gaddaffi) What a farce.
Which korea is this dumb fuck talking about? If its north he is an idiot. If its the south he might want to realize that south korea has very strong ties to the so called imperialists of the US and UK! Blaming other people for your countries fucked up past is like playing with your dick might be fun but its very unproductive! Hello from imperialist canada. Does anyone else get the irony of a belgian/african bad talking imperialism in africa from belgium a former empire! Only in the 21st century!
Excellent speech from comrade Mohammad Hassan, imperialist countries are exploiting whole Africa for their own selfish gains, keeping the continent underdeveloped and systemically killing off the people in the process. How is it possible that one of the most naturally rich continents in the world is also the poorest? People need to educate themselves about the powerstructures at work here.
I had no idea about the exploitation made through the flower business there. I think Fairtrade sell ethopian flowers. How does the CPGB-ML react to that?
@mrslaughter15 You think it's a good idea for a country (prone to food shortages) such as Ethiopia to grow mainly cash crops - whether fair trade or not - on it's most fertile land?
@mrslaughter15 Fairtrade is an oxymoron. THere's no such thing as benevolent capitalism. Capitalism is wage slavery, and the relationship between the first and third world, between monopoly capital and the neo-colonies is brutal and exploitative. The idea that a 'nice' company can pay 'a bit more' to producers makes no difference to the general conditions of production and gives rise to reformist illusions that we can solve the problems of imperialism without overthrowing it. We can't.
I had no idea about this flower industry in Ethiopia but it fits in with the coffee and sugar cane industries in South America and all the other cash crop industries around the world that provide luxuries to Americans and Europeans while destroying food producing lands for people who end up starving as a result. It is a policy of murder by exploitation. Naked capitalism in action.
The little chicken USA always asks other people from other countries to go with them to illegal, bullying, full of atrocities wars such as in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan ,Libya...etc . The USA is controlled by Zionists and interests groups . To be a president , you must be a Zionist puppet, have millions of dollars in donations and have the support of the media who are part of spreading lies and propaganda . Wake up the US economy is screwed up thanks to corrupt politicians !. Good day folks .
so wrong to call Emperor Haile selassie puppet, when you damn well know that is wrong. 52,000 is an exaggeration, your anger and your point is pointless now. next time please make your research before you humiliate yourself again.
