Burnhamism all over. History repeating itself. Burnham tried to make the blacks self-sufficient.

You seem to be a loyal YSM thug and so believe Burnham's propaganda. Burnham wanted blacks to be dependent on the PNC and he laughed at this dependency.  If Burnham wanted blacks to be independent he would have encouraged the development of an independent business class. instead he offered patronage jobs.

Afro Caribbean people are highly individualistic and do NOT have an interest in working cooperatively and he is fully aware of this.  The Coop nonsense was an excuse to concentrate the economy around state control.

In fact the black village economies completely collapsed during the Burnham era!  Burnham REFUSED to settle the issue of land tenure or put in place measures for these villages to expand their commercial lands by offering properly drained acreages. I recall Hopetown and other black villages in West Berbice UNDER WATER!
