Che -Guevara Posted January 9, 2008 ^^Maxaa ka rabtaa. He atleast wrote more than his usual one liners. On diffirent note, democracy can't be any effective system in African country. Africans have device their own system that's compatible with their sensebilities. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted January 9, 2008 ^^Can they not adapt democracy and create an African notion of democracy. I don’t believe in reinventing the wheel.

Che -Guevara Posted January 9, 2008 ^^There is no historical or cultural context of democracy when it comes to Africa. It works in the west simply cuz it was born out of culture and not mention historically relevent to their struggles. Before the advent of European colonialism, the word democracy didn't even exist in the African vocubulary. Freedom, liberty,and pursuit of happiness is uniquely western concept.

Ibtisam Posted January 9, 2008 ^^^That is utter rubbish Che. It may not have existed as a unified system, but the ideals have always existed. Nor is democracy a western invention. They just want you to believe it is. If you give some crap about Aristotle and Plato being the fathers of ideals of democracy in Athens I will laugh at you.

Che -Guevara Posted January 9, 2008 The need to be free is obviosly universal, but name one African nation or African system of governance where those ideals existed.And in case you think this is attack on Africans, it is not. On the contrary, I believe Africans were doing just fine before Europeans landed. Sadly, their system of governance was cut short before it could mature.
