France was democratic for over 100 years and was a brutal, monstrous country to African nations for most of it (keeping additionally in mind it was France that first began attacks on Libya which culminated in America and NATO overthrowing Gaddafi; an event as recently as only a little over ten years old; ADDITIONALLY additionally they are most likely the country behind the attempts on Traore's life and who most likely overthrew the Haitian president who was demanding reparations)
If being a democracy makes you inherently good then the question has to be, since when have Western countries been democratic given our history with the global South?
Form of government =/= principles or system of morality
Thanks for that link. It's a glorious quote.
