Kinshasa, Congo - Libertarian Paradise - Search For Food Itself Full Time Endeavor

[TheMastersNemesis]

Kinshasa in the Republic of Congo is a libertarian paradise. There is very limited government that does very little. It collects taxes, probably gives them to the rich and it provides no jobs and regulates little. In a city of 10 million people there are few jobs and most of the population in in their own businesses as interpreneurs doing anything they can to earn enough money to eat every day. Most of the populations' time is spent in the pursuit of food.

I was astounded to hear this little story on National Geographic's weekend radio program. Somalia is another example that is milder by comparison. So the GOP's desire to abolish SNAP is another way to gain power. If people are busy looking for food, they cannot appose your power.

1. Huh? It's an explicitly socialist state and the government runs about 80% of the GDP

Starting even a fruit stand requires bribing three levels of officials, and land reform has kept over three-quarters of the viable farmland out of production for decades.
