Whenever she talks about Africans she does so as if they're all the same as African Americans, then insists all of them share the same culture that wants crushing poverty and simple subsistence societies.

Ultimately, I want the dismantling of Western capitalism and return of full blown autonomy of the Global South to the people who live there so that they can develop their societies on their land how they wish. I fundamentally don't think most people here actually want that. I think they are just fine living in a world of this much inequality, and are only working to ensure that the lucky minorities who live within the borders of the West and are popular enough to galvanize attention and sympathy get access to the spoils of capitalism too.Is it really that much to ask?
Again, what do you specifically want?
She's such a fucking retard and so racist against actual Africans. She genuinely believes it's only western colonialists that are preventing African people from intentionally regressing to subsistence farming and hunter gatherer societies.
Though maybe the funniest part of her utopia fantasizing is it always seems to involve block parties and people playing music like some 90s sitcom celebration of "inner city life."
Mostly she's just abjectly stupid and doesn't realize that all of her "theory" is based around imagining small family and neighborhood groups of tens of people (that somehow have access to and knowledge of everything) that couldn't remotely scale to any kind of society with millions of people.
