Are African countries "capitalist"?

Some, but most is under the law of the jungle, with a few alphas fighting over dominance w ak's..
The rest is being exploited by the west elite
>The rest is being exploited by the west elite
How?
Capitalism isn't an ideology like Communism or Fascism or Nat Soc though, Capitalism just describes the natural tendency of capital to accumulate around an upper class, for the obvious reason that it's easier to save and earn more when you're basic needs are met.
It's like asking "is African Countries stratified?" or "is my tennis coach fitness"?
Coca Cola, for example, pays pennies for pounds and pounds of Kola Nuts that get processed and used for the Coca-Colca syrup which when the reatailer buys whole sale they may pay 1 dollar per bottle for - which is insane when you consider it's mostly water. But the people who sold the Kola nuts to Coke probably get less than 1% of the wholesale cost of the bottle for it's essential ingredient. And even they employ virtual slave labor to farm those nuts.
Look up the 'Smile Curve' - Coke did a great job of marketing this drink that literally anyone can make since it's Kola Nuts, Fructose Syrup, coloring and largely Water, so they keep most of the $$$

Isn't that down to poor bargaining skills on the part of Africans?
They dont have le enrage to bargain with. That's how it works I'm general though.
*leverage
Fuck niggers LOL
Lack of leverage
Same shit they're experiencing with cobalt in Congo. They could have the entire world by the balls, but instead they slave away for $0.5/day. Scary prospects , however of they do ever get organized I'm sure us/China will introduce some instability
