Thanks Uncle T. A few days back, I read a similar line and commented upon it. The Big Cheese wants it all for itself--no sharing allowed, only tribute contributed.
What a contrast with US politics and relationships with other countries.
I see a framework for collective action that includes building strong institutions that hold their values.
The US pays little attention to these backwards, isolated countries. Thus it would be next to impossible for US or European liberals to understand and learn from these ongoing efforts at building sustainable cultures and economics. In the mean time the "successful" countries implode.
In other words, I read this material as demonstrations of what can be done politically while in the West continues on the path of "is politics possible?".
There're many possibilities, but the USA doesn't want to do anything that doesn't serve its 10%'s interests. Good deeds? Forget them; the Outlaw US Empire doesn't do good deeds.
Thank you for your report. You may be interested in this piece on African coups and the French eviction: https://dissidentvoice.org/2023/09/niger-military-coup-more-than-meets-the-eye/
Perhaps the French are being shown the door by the USA. Neoliberal economics is a jackal.
