Political independence does not necessarily mean economic independence.
In the case of developing and least developed countries, it is the opposite.
When people complain that African countries can't get their shit together, well that's bullshit because those countries don't have any shit to get together.
When Europe allowed independence after colonialism, they ensured those new governors were subservient.
They ensured the resources were already held by foreign interests.
They then gave out loans under the guise of helping those nations improve their lot.
These are loans that can never be paid because of interest and no plan to actually help create the capital to pay those loans and provide for themselves.
Nothing of worth in these countries is owned by the native people.
The sole purpose of these countries is to provide labor and resources for developed nations.
It's like these countries are in debt bondage to the developed countries.
