There was not a single liberation movement in Africa that was not fighting for socialism. In fact, there was not a single liberation movement in the whole world that was fighting for capitalism. The whole thing boiled down to a simple equation: anything that has any kind of value is made, mined, grown, produced, and processed by working people.

Capitalism meant that rich businessmen owned the wealth, while socialism meant that the people who made the wealth owned it. (en) |
