Will this one-by-one system forever be our main thing or do you think we will break monogamy and maybe “team up” as groups or something?

And yeah polygamy is a thing but do you think it will catch on to “the upper class”?

      Man I have so many hopes for that nation. Big challenges, big potential.

          I should do some reading about EFF. It really does seem like both SA and Zimbabwe chose the wrong strategy to righting colonial inequalities. Something in between, like just a tax on white-owned businesses while they’re disproportionately powerful, could be good.

              That’s exactly what I’ve heard too. Eventually they have to fall; ending apartheid was huge but even the most traditional public won’t remember forever.

            We’ve had that for thirty years

            The EFF are the kinds of politicans that go to the rich and promise them more money, then go to the power and promise to redistrubute the money. In the end they are the only ones getting money

              Am I reading this wrong, or is it more about preferential access to procurement deals than a straight-up transfer of wealth? I mean, that’s good too, but obviously it hasn’t made much of a dent in the inequality.

              Yeah, corruption is definitely still a thing. In other democracies it gradually gets worked out over the decades. Once there’s more than one party in play in SA I have no reason to think it won’t work the same way.

                Retransfer of wealth is how we end up with 1 trillion dollars being written on a bill

                The correct country-code is ZA (Zuid-Afrika), Saudi Arabia has SA

                  I’m pretty sure I explicitly addressed Zimbabwe in OP. Leaving white people alone to hoard our looted colonial treasures is not a valid option.

                    I know someone who knows a farmer who, during the stupud zimbwabwe times, had his land redistributed. The land was used for nothing except selling it back later
