Hypocrisy and arrogance of US Imperialism and Obama

So Obama went to Africa and arrogantly lectured the people there on the need to end corruption. And this is the person who represents the US corporations and these outfits systematically bribe the US politicians on a 24 hour basis. This is what lobbying is and what the Political Action Committee system is. It is the corporations bribing the politicians. Obama himself took tens of millions from the corporations for his election campaign. He is of course now in the pockets of these very corporations. This is pure corruption and Obama is part of it. The only difference between the US and Africa is that in the US they have made corruption legal. 

And where did Obama come from in the US? Well no other place than Chicago. There is no other more corrupt political city in the US than Chicago. He came out of the corrupt Chicago machine. Did he fight corruption in Chicago? Not a bit of it. If he had he would never have got the backing to become originally Senator and later President. What a hypocrite. What hypocrisy. And finally if the governments in Africa are taking bribes who are giving them these bribes. He lectures Africans about corruption and uses it himself at home. 

It is no other than the major corporations from the advanced capitalist countries such as the US who corrupt, who bribe the regimes and companies in Africa. It is these same capitalist forces who finance the brutal militias who rape and slaughter to get the raw materials and the diamonds out of the continent. Africa is a catastrophe not because it is corrupt or too poor. But because it is too rich. And it cannot organize its system to drive out the advanced capitalist countries, organize a democratic socialist system throughout the continent, and unify the country on a democratic socialist basis.

We overthrow/undermine democratically elected governments then support and supply corrupt short-minded regimes. Once we got our friendlies in place, the resource extracting companies who got us to do this in the first place move in and make nice with the new owners.

People in the west get their precious oil, diamonds and minerals, companies get filthy rich and hire lobbyists to further consolidate their power, the residents of said countries bear the burden of a corrupt regime and we decide it's time to build a new massive base in the heart of the continent.
