Barack Obama Toasts Failed Tanzanian Socialist

President Barack Obama toasted the founding dictator of post-colonial Tanzania on Monday, who collectivized the nation’s low-tech agricultural sector, established a one-party state and left that African nation’s economy in ruins.

“[Y]ou might say an American child is my child,” Obama ”We might say a Tanzanian child is my child. In this way, both of our nations will be looking after all of our children and we’ll be living out the vision of President [Julius] Nyerere.”

“The core values that he proclaimed for Tanzania also describe what both our countries seek — wisdom, unity, and peace — Hekima, Umoja, na Amani,” Obama said at a state dinner, held at 9.00 p.m. local time.

“So what I’d like to do is to propose a toast … to our gracious Tanzanian hosts, to our Tanzanian friends and to wisdom, unity and peace that we all seek in the world. Cheers,” he told the invitees at the dinner, which took place in the Tanzanian capital, Dar es Salaam.
Nyerere “led a one-party state that nationalized key industries and created ujamaa, a rural, collective village-based movement of ‘African socialism’ and ‘self reliance,’” according to a 2011 report by the Congressional Research Service.

That ujamaa policy was very fashionable among U.S. and European progressives in the 1980s, when Obama was attending Colombia University and Harvard University.

But it wrecked the nation’s economy, just as similar socialist planning wrecked the partly-developed economies of numerous African countries after European powers gave up their territorial claims in the continent.

BARACK OBAMA SAYS WE CAN'T LET AFRICANS HAVE AIR CONDITIONERS AND CARS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEIR SUCCESS WILL DESTROY THE EARTH
CNSNews:

Raising millions out of abject poverty in Africa would engender a global warming disaster if done before “we find new ways of producing energy,” President Obama said Saturday at a town hall event in Johannesburg, South Africa.
“Ultimately, if you think about all the youth that everybody has mentioned here in Africa, if everybody is raising living standards to the point where everybody has got a car and everybody has got air conditioning, and everybody has got a big house, well, the planet will boil over — unless we find new ways of producing energy.”
