It wants to root itself in collectivist traditions and not in foreign ideology, which is not displeasing to Western bourgeois authors; it prefers to count on the common moral points that unite the various strata of society rather than on material antagonism; emotional and contradictory, it has many petits-bourgeois features.The future of African Socialism depends on those of its representatives who will be able to express the interests of the poor peasantry and urban-dwellers.Cairn restricted access
