Why Tanzania will never develop.

Tanzanians and humans in general have one flaw that is very common in their demise. They don’t value the endless possibilities of human freedom. Instead we assume that there are some of us who we can appoint and give endless powers and miraculously they will solve our problems.

In Tanzania especially the ideology that encompasses most people is a collectivist form of thought that is a result of our tribal nature. The consequence of this collective thought is government.

The unfortunate reality is Tanzanians are ready to look forward to a leader as a savior rather than look towards their ability to trade and the rewards that come from being innovative as an alternative solution. Innovation has never ever came from a Government leader.

Government hinders innovation because government involves itself in the free market making regulations and setting taxes that hinder the free market. Most if not all of Tanzania’s problems could’ve been solved by now by innovation in the free market and by international investors.

The property rights for international investors are non-existent and the taxes on international investors and on corporations are ridiculously high. Yet whenever the problem of unemployment of the youth in Tanzania is brought up the government ignores that it is the cause of the problem.

To make matters even worse the youth in Tanzania believe that putting in the right leader whom they think is Magufuli is going to solve the problem. Dear Tanzanian youth if there’s any truth in this world it is that government has no incentive to help you. Politicians don’t care about you no matter how much they claim to do so.

First this so called savior leaves multiple homeless with the bulldozing business without even compensating the victims. Then he meddles with the sugar industry and now we have a sugar shortage.

Then he meddles with international investors and wonders why youth unemployment is at a record high. Why do African politicians not understand that it is their regulations that lead to the same problems that they are trying to solve.
 
Precise! It is 55 yrs now that people are waiting for the elected leaders to give them development solution as the same elected leaders keep promising the people to give them development solutions.
 
Hehe!, Kessy wewe, you're giving us a flip side of JPM. Recalling pre election era.

You hit hard where it hurts though, that's totally us. We'll elect someone with hopes that they're going to save us, then we'll sit, relax, watch and wait to see what they're going to do for us. Seems like we're chained and can not free ourselves from this, as we keep circling to the same ideas, same people.

When it comes to our "savior"
Whatever happened to hapa kazi kwanza?!, It is obvious he started at a 100 and there's little we've seen so far from him, including surprise visits and (compliments from all over the universe) but, it's only been 7 months since he took the oath, given the bad shape of our country maybe he need more time to fix it.

At least by now we can see the enormous amount of mess our country is in, which can not be fixed overnight.
(Am trying to be positive... and give him the benefit of the doubt)
 
Its true but that is not only youth's stance. Tz youth stand at the side of savior and they hope of what their leader responce for them.even high learner are expect to be someone somewhere but that is jus hope. WE hope……
 

You guys are doing amazing job to propagate whatever narrative/s you are trying to advocate, well done. You wrote "why Tanzania will never develop? " really? That narrative sounds so prejudice. Is Tanzania current state of economy and infrastructure still the same as that of the 1970s or 1980s? Is Tanzania not developing?

"The endless possibilities of human freedom" this is ridiculous! When people of a certain nation willingly adhere to the legitimate political authority of their choice are therefore obliged to abide with the rules and regulations of that political authority. If a particular jurisdiction has rules and regulations how can endless possibilities of human freedom exist? Endless human freedom not just endless possibilities existed long ago during primitive age, state of nature. in a state of nature, anyone does nearly anything irrespective of whether he or she infringes other's basic rights.

"Property rights for international investors are non-existent, and taxes on international investors and multinational corporations are insanely high" any country that is seriously committed to safeguard its sovereignty cannot let her economy be an extension of other state/s.
 

So much hate freely fly around. Why cant you guys mind your Kenyan issues? Why pretending to be Tanzanians? Are you being paid for these cheap propaganda you are hardly trying to spread? what mess? We Tanzanians are pretty happy with the current leadership and what it does.
 

Oh I am so glad that I have found a statist like you who is a wordsmith full of conclusions based on presuppositions.

First assumption is that I take the time out of my day to propagate something on a public forum were my ideas can be challenged and wont be accepted the same way you accept the dogmatic laws of your corrupt jurisdiction that you are in love with.

I present these ideas not because they are propaganda but because I can argue that they are objectively true. If you were here to show the flaw in my argument you wouldn't have attempted to dismiss me by labeling my claims as propaganda narrative.

Your second assumption is that the people of Tanzania willingly adhere to the political authority. The political authority or as it should be called a monopoly/gang has placed itself in a position were it can NOT be challenged. Furthermore there is NO, "the people". There is only the special interest of politicians.

Your third assumption is that the political authority is legitimate. There is no such thing as a legitimate political authority because they are all appointed through majority rule which is a primitive mob mentality. Lets take the example that there are 8 men and 4 women and one of the men proposes that the men get to take advantage of the women. In this case if they take a vote the men's interest is going to rule because they are the majority. Political authority works the same way because it legitimizes the choice of the majority who in Tanzania can easily be deceived because it is the minority that are educated.

Your fourth assumption is that, "the endless possibilities of human freedom" is equal to "savage human behavior." This is obviously false. You can have human freedoms without having an infringement of other human's rights, but when you have endless growth of political authority that is unchallenged history has only shown us the dangers of that. For example All the genocides, mass murders, monopolies are all the result of political authority.

What evidence is there to support that: in man's natural state, man does whatever he wants? In reality it is in man's nature to do what is in his best interest and it is in man's best interest to value the freedoms of other men because no man is an island and no man can survive on his own. Human freedom make man dependent on the voluntary compliance of others. Political authority makes man dependent on the states ability to force others into compliance. This is how the state formed slavery. Not individual human beings.

Your last assumption is that a state's sovereignty is dependent on whether it allows property rights to international corporations or not. A state's sovereignty is dependent on whether it is founded on objective truth, NOT the opinions of one single political party's ideology or the infringements of its own people's freedoms.
 


"WE"?!!, or YOU!, a part of the crooked system, why are you speaking for everyone?

Its better for us to recognise and understand the efforts of the leaders and the scale of their direct advantage to us, the situation in many of us is worse as we always hope that a good leader will supply for us everything then our lives will become more advanced than ever!!
Devoting most of our time talking of politics forgetting on putting personal efforts to success is among of our common disease in Tanzania,
Leaders are responsible for expanding infrastructures and other environments on which business and other activities will be fairly conducted!!
Wakeup!!!!

There are no efforts of the leaders that play an advantage for us dont you understand? Politicians are not doing anything for us. No, maybe you hope a good leader will supply for you everything and your life will be advanced and that is why you think that any politician's effort is for you. Its not.
Its kind of hard to put any personal efforts towards success when you can even start a business without going through hundreds or thousands of regulations and taxes.

Sure dude but yo neglecting the role of the leader if so we should not have national leaders we should lead ourselves.
 
You made a criticism about the government and politicians. You also seemed to uphold free market to its extreme, discourage taxes on investors and lots of things. It appears to me from the gist of your argument, you are trying to suggest anarchism! Free market and no taxes if possible.
I don't whether such country exists in the world. Government is a necessary institution in an civilized community.
If you don't have regulations for free market, then there is no fairness either. Perhaps you seem to underscore the problems of free market, if it is left to the private individuals alone.
You said Tanzanians view their leaders as saviours, I think this untrue.I am a Tanzanian but I don't consider any of my leader as a savior, in fact there is a good number of people of think as I do. So, I guess you never intended to make such a fallacious premise to back up your conclusion.
You man you seemed to be anti-government.In other words, anarchist, I don't think whether you said any truth to us African youths a part from your point of views which you want to persuade people.
 

Whether or not a country as such exists doesn't refute the validity of the argument against Government. The reality is that Governments are the end product of group-think and tribalism. They innately exist to enforce the mobs preferences over the minority. They are a result of the human nature to rely in the strength in numbers instead of thinking for themselves. The outcome is that the opportunistic humans who have an addiction for power take advantage of this flaw in human nature in order to gain control over the mob or majority.

To claim that civilized societies wont exist without Government is equivalent to what slave owners said about the cotton market and cheap labor not existing if they didn't have slaves. That is assuming that with the challenges that arise from not having a monopoly of power, humans will not find solutions to the problems that were previously solved by the misuse of power. This pattern of thought is the result of Government fabricating a reality in which human beings are dependent on a monopoly of power and are afraid of evils that wouldn't exist if it wasn't for government.

Think of all the problems that we face today as human beings and trace them back to their actual causation and see if they aren't a result of the actions of a Government. Would terrorism exist if it wasn't for the Western government monopoly of power that has failed centuries ago to kill the movement and that has at the same time played a part in arming and aiding countries that support terrorism.
Think of the African Governments and how their leaders have passed retarded economic policies and have caused war after war after famine after famine and, are regardless of their malpractice, still being rewarded by foreign aid from other Governments.
This is merely a summery but in reality Government leaders are eager to make other men feel small and dependent on the monopoly of power that they are willing to start wars and blame it on currency falls, they are willing to manipulate economies and blame it on the free market, they are willing to create terrorists and then play hero as they bomb civilians in the name of counter-terrorism.
Ask yourself do you need government to shower, shave, eat, keep your house clean, protect your own life, make a living and still support your family. As government played a hand in making any of those things happen. No? then why think you need them in the free market.

Do you understand that regulations are the reason there is unfairness. Do you understand how monopolies are made. The Government regulations make it hard for any competition to start up a company because only the company that has had a stake in a sector can afford to meet the Gov. requirements. This then leads to that company setting its own prices because people have no other choice than to purchase from that company.
Without regulations monopolies wouldn't exist.

I'll assume you have friends. Think for a second does Government make regulations on how you interact with your friends? No? Then you realize that you as a friend in order to make friends and not be ostracized have to meet the standards of those people you interact with. Without even being forced the fear of ostracization leads you to be on your best behavior because in the real world people have multiple options of whom they can be friends with. This is the result of competition. This is also the result of the power of ostracization. Think of a business that people didn't like the product or the prices and therefore decided to ostracize it. That business either died or had to change without even Government telling it what to do. This is because people had other choices of where to get that same product for a better quality with better service and better prices.
 
Now, let me go through the contended arguments above, and circumnavigate them to see whether they are water tight and coherent.
To begin with, I challenged the argument from a previous comment whether the ideal free market exists, I am disappointed when you ignore that by claiming it does doesn't matter whether such a country exists in the world, you went further to stick on the validity of the argument. I never questioned the logical validity of your assertion. The issue is whether what you suggest seem pseudoclaim. It is unattainable if you agree with that then why would advice African governments to adopt the system which by itself is unattainable. It can't work!
Mind you the validity of argument does not necessarily mean desirable or practical or pragmatic. One can have a valid claim an yet the argument is unreasonable and counter intuitive.
You said
"The reality is that Governments are the end product of group-think and tribalism. They innately exist to enforce the mobs preferences over the minority. They are a result of the human nature to rely in the strength in numbers instead of thinking for themselves. The outcome is that the opportunistic humans who have an addiction for power take advantage of this flaw in human nature in order to gain control over the mob or majority"
I certainly think that you have a myopia view of what Government is, It is not true that a democratic government is the result of group or tribe thinking. There are no premises from your argument which lead you that doubtful inference. Furthermore, to equate a democratic government with rule of majority which asserts the notion that majority wins all, this too is incoherent to the principles of democratic government. Yes, in a democratic government majority vote puts someone in power but this does not mean that majority can do whatever they want to or majority can illegitimately coerce the minority. A democratic government is the government of majority but bound with the democratic principles like equality to all, liberty to all. In other words, government is limited by the idea of dignity. If that is true, then the minority cannot impose their preferences to minority to issue pertaining individual responsibility to live up their lives as they wish as long as they live consistently by honoring other's dignity.
Mind you again, government has many purpose not only ensuring economic activity but also it protects the property and lives of people. So, to downgrade the role of government is to be inconsistent with the very principle of free market you try to advocate. Free market presupposes tranquillity and harmony in the state. It is impossible in today's world to that without such an important human institution. Free market leads to monopoly capitalism.
It's simple economics and if you leave these monopoly enterprises to dominate, then the country is gonna be ruled by the greedy of capitalists in free market.
