Ujamaa: Essays on Socialism by Julius Nyerere: Part 1

Julius Nyerere was the first president of Tanzania (and its predecessor state, Tanganyika) and founding member of TANU, the Tanganyika African National Union party. Nyerere, in addition to being one of Africa's most prominent decolonial voices and early post-colonial leaders, is best remembered for his political philosophy, "Ujamaa," Swahili for "Familyhood." Ujamaa was Nyerere's vision of a social and economic system based on the conscious revindication of traditional African social values, which he considered inherently socialist.

The Ujamaa policy is a brilliant policy and would have worked on any African country if applied correctly, to me when I see were South Africa is today and if we can stop the nonsense of saying we have the best constitution in the world and start facing reality that our constitution was never made for Africans but was made to protect the interest of groups who stole the true straggle of the people an took away the freedom that was already given to us by true heroes of Africa

Well said. How would you go about expropriating land without compensation effectively?
