When the gap between 'haves' and 'have nots' gets too big you get these results.
Has nothing to do with Communism, Socialism, Reactionares, Conservatism. It has to do with a 'reasonable' spread and the freedom to strife to rise out of the middle (and the ability to do so) and the freedom to sink below the middle (accepting less earthly goods). In some countries the balance seems lost. IMHO.

But under benevolent British Colonial rule this sort of thing wouldn't have happened, and one can hardly imagine a larger social gap. I can barely think of a single former British colony that wouldn't be better off if the British had continued to guide the overseas territories*. In the case of South Africa it was sheer folly to hand governance to a bunch of ignorant savages driven by tribalism and venality. * To be fair, Australia, Canada, Israel, New Zealand seem to be doing OK since deciding to go it alone. |

Don't get me started especially since brexit was all about 'taking back control' and 'sovereignty' |

I'll give this a "like" for the final paragraph. I had to Google the rest but it still never made sense. |

I thought nobody had noticed that the Afrikaans speakers were ignorant savages etc. Israel have a few problems but they aren't in the Commonwealth are they.? |

Rather depends upon your view of cultural utopia. |
