    Nigeria with oil. Still being robbed dry to this day, while compradors and imperialists let the toxic byproducts of their extraction spill into the drinking water. Nigeria still suffers from nationwide blackouts and brownouts. Nigerian capitalists and foreign scum reap huge benefits.

    From my understanding, a big part of this ploy is disallowing (through market control or violence) Nigerian companies from refining crude oil. Foreign companies extract the crude and send it to the core to be refined, then sell it back to Nigerians! It’s their fucking oil in the first place!
