AFRICA’S RISE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE LIBERAL GLOBAL HEGEMONY

Joe Biden often repeats that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. This has often been said about Donald Trump in the US as it has been said about Marine Le Pen in France or Vladimir Putin in Russia. However, to which democracy is referred to here is quite unclear to me.

What is clear is that Democracy is a majority rule. It has many different definitions but all of them take at least into account the fact that it is an expression of the will of the majority of the citizens of a particular country. Though, nowadays it happens that democracy is equated with being aligned to the US liberal global order.

Donald Trump has an entirely different view of democracy which must free America from the grip of globalist circles of financial oligarchs, lobbyists, and the apparatus of the US Deep State. What has happened recently as Joe Biden renounced his candidacy to the Democratic Party nomination is a perfect illustration of the fake democracy America finds itself in.

Joe Biden's candidacy was supposed to be the result of the democratic process of designation through primaries within the Democratic Party. However, in American democracy, the donors behind major figures such as Barack Obama, Hilary and Bill Clinton are the real powers behind the seat of power. They were the same that orchestrated the rise of Joe Biden despite his declining cognitive faculties and are also responsible for his resignation after both his poor performance during the debate between the two candidates where he appeared totally diminished intellectually and the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Apparently, if the mental decline of Joe Biden hadn't been revealed to the public during that last debate and if Donald Trump unfortunately was assassinated, Joe Biden would still have been the only candidate of the Democratic Party.

Why would, the fact that Marine Le Pen rules France or Donald Trump rules the US because elected by their fellow citizens to do so, be a breach of democracy is still unclear. However, as an African, it is bizarre to me why Africans would oppose the rise of Donald Trump or the one Marine Le Pen. In the present system of international division of labor, slavery has only changed its form. Many Africans still see as their only salvation migration to Western world where most of them end up in low-paid jobs in the interests of global capitalist profiteers. Africa has been gaining nothing in this exploitation of its large and young population just to maintain the economy of the West where sexual orientations are partly responsible for its endemic low birth rate. Africa wouldn't become a developed part of the world by allowing migration of its youth to other continents.

Moreover, the global capitalist profiteers are responsible for plumber of rare mineral resources in DRC by allowing the continued destabilization of this country. The flourishing terrorist groups in the Sahel region have something to do with its richness with these rare mineral resources. The liberal global order has led Africa to more destabilization and more dependency on the West for its own security. Most African governments are forced to choose between Russia and China on one hand and the United States of America and its allies on the other for their security. However, countries which choose China and Russia come under serious pressure to forsake their ties with these no-western countries.

If the liberal global order doesn't accept the rise of China, the reemergence of Russia, attacks and destroys oil rich countries like Iraq or Libya for relinquishing the dollar dominated financial system, why would it accept the rise of former African colonial vassals?

Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen are enemies of this global capitalist order. So are we Africans!
