Tanzania is not a developing country

[Mtazamaji]

It has often been thought wise to substitute the term ‘developing’ for ‘underdeveloped’. One of the reasons for so doing is to avoid any unpleasantness which may be attached to the second term, which might be interpreted as meaning underdeveloped mentally, physically, morally or in any other respect. Actually, if ‘underdevelopment’ were related to anything other than comparing economies, then the most underdeveloped country in the world would be the U.S.A, which practices external oppression on a massive scale, while internally there is a blend of exploitation, brutality, and psychiatric disorder. However, on the economic level, it is best to remain with the word ‘underdeveloped’ rather than ‘developing’, because the latter creates the impression that all the countries of Africa are escaping from a state of economic backwardness relative to the industrial nations of the world, and that they are emancipating themselves from the relationship of exploitation. That is certainly not true, and many underdeveloped countries in Africa and elsewhere are becoming more underdeveloped in comparison with the world’s great powers, because their exploitation by the metropoles is being intensified in new ways.

Tunadanganywa kama watoto kukubali kuitwa nchi inayoendelea.Ni wizi kwa manufaa ya mafisadi ya ndani wetu na mabepari wa nje

 

[Jasusi]

Tumerudishwa nyuma na mafisadi.Badala ya kuwa developed tungesema ni the most exploited.

Mkuu,

Sio tu ufisadi bali system nzima inaendesha nchi ime-bae kwenye ubinafsi na capitalism. Capitalism ni tool ya kuwaongezea walio nacho kutoka kwa wasio nacho , theoretically hivo ndivo ilivo.

Few minutes ago nilikuwa kwenye thread ya bei za nyumba Dar na how they skyrocketing senselessly. Chukua mfano wa mtu kajenga nyumba kwa mil 50 halafu anaiuza kwa mil 120. For a capitalist kuweka kibindoni faida ya 70 mil, implies the deprivation and suffering a loss of 70 mil kutoka kwa upande mwingine. Either mjenzi hakulipwa vizuri au mnunuzi amelaliwa etc etc..

The bottom line ni kwamba siasa za kipebari hazitatupeleka kwenye promise land kutokana na ukweli kwamba ni vigumu kila mtu kuwa na maisha mazuri ktk capitalist system.

Kaka kweli kabisa yaani tunanyonywa a na mabepari wa nje Lakini tuna mabepari mengine ya ndani yanatunyonya. huyu jamaaa kaandika kitabu hiki miaka ya 1970. Ukitoa matatizo ya exploitation zinazofanywa na mataifa ya nje kuna hii sababu ambayo imesimama mpaka leo.

It is typical of underdeveloped economies that they do not (or are not allowed to) concentrate on those sectors of the economy which in turn will generate growth and raise production to a new level altogether, and there are very few ties between one sector and another so that (say) agriculture and industry could react beneficially on each other.

Furthermore, whatever savings are made within the economy are mainly sent abroad or are frittered away in consumption rather than being redirected to productive purposes. Much of the national income which remains within the country goes to pay individuals who are not directly involved in producing wealth but only in rendering auxiliary services-civil servants, merchants, soldiers, entertainers, etc. What aggravates the situation is that more people are employed in those jobs than are really necessary to give efficient service; and to crown it all these people do not reinvest in agriculture or industry. They squander the wealth created by the peasants and workers by purchasing cars, whisky and perfume.

It has been noted with irony that the principal ‘industry' of many underdeveloped countries is administration. Not long ago, 60%, of the internal revenue of Dahomey went into paying salaries of civil servants and government leaders. The salaries given to the elected politicians is higher than that given to a British Member of Parliament, and the number of parliamentarians in the underdeveloped African countries is also relatively high. In Gabon, there is one parliamentary representative for every 6,000 inhabitants, compared to one French parliamentary representative for every 100,000 Frenchmen. Many more figures of that sort indicate that in describing a typical underdeveloped economy it is essential to point out the high disproportion of the locally distributed wealth that goes into the pockets of a privileged few.

Inauma kuona hata yale ambayo yako ndani ya uwezo wetu tunayashindwa

Asante sana bro kwa kuweka hicho kipande. Kipande kimejitosheleza na kina mambo mazito ambayo niliyajua lakini yamekuwa more clear now.

Mathalan suala la kueka kipaumbele ktk sekta ambazo zinawagusa wengi ambazo kweli zinawezaz kuinua hali ya maisha ya watu.. Mathalan kilimo na viwanda vinavyohitajika kuprocess hizi products, unakuta kwa kiasi kikubwa bado hakuna link. Pia hatuwezi kuendelea bila viwanda..in contrary sisi tunauza viwanda kwa wahindi, ambao wanaviua, wanawa-underemply watu wetu na kuwa-exploit ktk kiwango cha kutisha.

Pia nakumbuka kwenye awamu, TRA walitangaza kupanda kwa makusanyo kwa mwezi. Lakini Che Mkapa alitumia mapato yale kulipia madeni ya nje ili kuwa 'taifa linalokopesheka'! This is sheer absurdity!

Mojawapo ya stumbling stones kubwa ya taifa letu ni kuchukua mikopo amabyo directly haita-stimulate uchumi. Ni sawa na mtu anayechukua mkopo usiolingana na kipato chake.

Yaani nna mengi ya kueleza lakini basi tu..

 

[Kituko]

kinachotuua Tanzania ni siasa, Siasa imeingia kila kona, MAkanisani, Misikitini, Mahakamani, Mashuleni na kila kona yenye kuleta Mabadiliko ya kweli,

Hata kama tusingekua na haya Madini, still nchi ineweza kuwa mbali kimaendeleo, hizi bandari pekeyake za Tanzania zinaweza kui-run hii nchi katika kiwango standard kabisa

 

[Felixonfellix]

kuna kuendelea kwenda mbele au kwenda nyuma.
yote ni maendeleo tu
tz tunaenda nyuma kwa kasi ya ajabu
