Both major parties in the US operate like a crime syndicate. It’s all about money and corruption. Whoever has power is using it to make money. Americans are victims. The only solution is direct democracy. No political parties. No politicians. Just the people for the people.

IBRAHIM TRAORÉ CALLS FOR PATRIOTISM OVER INDIVIDUALISM Burkina Faso's president, Ibrahim Traoré, is calling on his citizens to return to traditional values, not the backwards, conservative values the West often romanticises as 'traditional'. Instead, Traoré appeals to positive African values such as collectivism, humanism, and egalitarianism. Kwame Nkrumah, Pan-African leader and first president of Ghana, once identified these very values as the basis of what he called 'the revolutionary African personality.' He insisted that these values should form the basis for constructing socialism and African unity. Today President Traoré upholds these values, vehemently rejecting individualism, a value rooted in the global capitalist and imperialist system, in favour of collectivism, reflective of Africa's long communal history. Traoré recognises that Western leaders do not recognise African states as legitimate sovereign entities, but he rejects playing the game they set up according to their rules of exploitative competition. Instead, he insists that Burkina Faso's collectivism, expressed as patriotism, will be the homeland's saving grace.
