Poor Throughout
Kwame Nkrumah's ideas are as much a failure in theory as they are in practice. His book, like much communist literature, goes from describing the problem to insisting on communism as the only solution, typically with weak supports.

This review is from: Class Struggle In Africa (Paperback)
Kwame Nkrumah's ideas are as much a failure in theory as they are in practice. His book, like much communist literature, goes from describing the problem to insisting on communism as the only solution, typically with weak supports. One case in point is his insistence that the military should be under the control of the communist party of the country, without explaining why he seems to belive this would be better than the military being non-partisan.
In his government, Nkrumah attempted to put several of these ideas into practice, and Ghana suffered. When the expected backlash happened, he removed press freedoms and implemented a one-party dictatorship. He was ousted in absentia to thunderous applause. |
