Because it's exploited by the parasitic capitalist class of the 1st world. Workers of the 1st world enjoy parasitic super-profits made in the 3rd world by exploiting cheap labor.

inb4 1st world countries exploit them

Ever been to one of those shitholes?
It's because the people are lazy and the government is corrupt (because it is filled with lazy people).

>>3666114
Coming from a procrastinator.

because the people in power havent got a clue what the hell they are doing.

their situation is offensive in the 21st century, we really should be taking over and sorting these people out.

> A document released Wednesday shows South Africa’s government is far behind land reform efforts, a setback that could prove explosive in a country with staggering inequality almost a generation after white rule ended.

> Gugile Nkwinti, the minister of land reform, said black farmers have resold nearly 30 percent of the white farmland bought for them by the government, often selling back to the previous white owners.

The reason, you ask?

> In many cases groups of farmers have been settled on a commercial farm and told to work it collectively

> mfw this is from the washington post

>>3666147
no, the capitalists make all the profits
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you're from a mildly affluent white family and never really had to work and/or you're taking general/liberal arts courses at a large university, probably near a coast

2 communists arguing and they're both wrong. Yup, this is a typical /sci/ discussion on economics.

Many reasons but political instability caused by the geographic ease of guerilla warfare is a major factor. Either they end up in a civil war that lasts years like the DRC or they have an extremely repressive regime to keep control like Myanmar.

In b4 left vs right marxists vs racists shitstorm

Guns germs and steel is bullshit, racism is bullshit, you're exactly the same as each other, you both attach your egos to collective groups then get butthurt at any notion that it is flawed.

>>3666147
1st world worker here, still waiting for my super-profits check

Because they concentrate on making more starving babies instead of progress. And it is a succesfull evolutionary strategy.

Short answer? Guns, germs, and steel.

>>3666165
not a communist, i just realize that people at the top make more money than the general labor, hence why they are on top

Low intelligence.

>>3666184

> the people at the top make more money because they are at the top

The wheels on the bus go round and round....

they got fucked by expanding europeans

Laziness and refusing to adapt.

Example:

China- the Chinese are great at adapting to change as well as being anything but lazy. They are doing well financially.

>>3666194
Well I needed to explain it, because apparently realizing something that simple makes me a communist.

>he thinks hong kong is a 3rd world country

ITT: Your worldviews are outdated.

The "first-world" / "third-world" dichotomy hasn't existed for half a century.

>>3666202
but they refused to adapt to other lazy people like Americans who pay them for making Nike and Adidas... then why is USA 1st world?

you aren't making sense

in after guns germs and steel.

that alone cannot account for the 3rd world situation today. youre a fool if you dont think atleast part of the problem is the people themselves

1st world workers get super-profits in the form of commodity price. They get to get cheaper commodities due to the 3rd world exploitation, which is as if their money was multiplied by some factor.

>>3666198
Ancient cultures that had millennia to advance get buttraeped by relative n00bs to the world (Europeans).

>>3666206
This. Everyone ITT is arguing over the cause of what world was like in the 1950s.

3rd world countries usually lack a stable system of property rights.
They usually have corrupt governments that inhibit any kind of growth.
Their governments are more content letting their people live a life of subsistence agriculture, rather than allow foreign companies to come in and provide safer better paying jobs. (Sorry, factory labor is safer than being outside 16 hours/ day, and wages are more stable, and better paying)

>>3666219
beucase of the euros shit genetics they carried a plethora of diseases like small pox and plague

>>3666217
This. You should stop blaming the 'exploiters' for your problems because they make your quality of life better. Without them exploiting the 3rd world and exploiting you to advance technology, you would be living like under the 19 century - early 20 century capitalism.
