The Consequences of Jeremy Corbyn for Africa
Source: Pambazuka
Britain’s Labour leader has challenged the neoliberal dogma that has ruled the world ever since Margaret Thatcher came to power in 1979 and Ronald Reagan in America in 1981. This has been disastrous for Africa, where it has come in the form of the so-called “Economic Structural Adjustment Programs” aimed at restructuring African economies to conform to the demands of the imperialist countries, and not the development needs of Africa.
My last blog was on the US elections where I argued that although neither Clinton nor Trump is my hero, Trump is a better bet from an African perspective. In this piece I argue that in the political contest for state power in the United Kingdom Jeremy Corbyn is definitely my favorite.
