Reply #18: what arrogant assumptions are those? & what your being born in south africa has to do

[Hannah Bell]

with the fact that africa is being positioned as the next low-wage export platform, i have no clue.


i made that statement, which i can back up, & you put up a link about the existence of a black middle class in south africa.

so the hell what? irrelevant. there was a middle class in the us during industrialization, & in england during the same phase. there was a middle class in china in the 1980s, and in japan in the 1950s-60s.

there was also mass poverty, & the existence of a middle class didn't stop any of them from being low-wage export platforms.

i have no idea what your point is.
