They implemented an insidious radical policy called a "public school system."
Our Patriotic Public Schooling.
Their Brutal Communist Child Indoctrination.
Our Patriotic ~~Public Schooling~~ private corporations for educating the heirs of elites. Public Education is abolished because it’s not a business.
"HoW aRe ThE GoInG To PaY ThEm?!"
In case anyone wants the actual answer, they nationalised all the gold and uranium mines. Which is like... A metric shitload of money that was previously just going to french companies and their shareholders.

country that cries the hardest about "muh russia bad" btw (they want to do the same to ukraine)
How does all this racism keep getting into my anticommunism???
"b-but how are they going to pay the teachers!?!?!"
with the immense amount of gold and copper they mine
Collapsing system accusing others of collapse.
Since when has owning more stuff meant you were fucked?
Some of them assume the corrupt government is just pocketing it. Just gonna be waddling around and about with several hundred kilograms of gold in their pockets.
They believed Gaddafi had a secret hoard of gold
perhaps they mean that the west will not leave Burkina Faso alone
Yeah they're fighting coups off every four months or so
Do those chuds not realise that states have other sources of revenue?
CHUDs generally don't have a great grasp of economics.
They think the government is like a household. If you spend too much you won't be able to pay your bills
This is literally it. They take financial advice from dudebros on tiktok or facebook telling you to grind hard and buckle down, then extrapolate that to the state.
How can that be? Middle school told them that commie bad and capitalism is freedom! That’s all the economics anyone needs to know!
I for one would accept goats and chicken as a form of payment.
My man is emulating Thomas Sankara, not only in public policy, but in having some wild ass drip
The only thing he isn't emulating is the being assassinated part (god willing)
Is there somewhere I can go to learn more about Burkina Faso? I've been seeing a good amount of posts about them, but know relatively little about the government or Traore.
A lot of Burkina Faso's basedness came from former leader Thomas Sankara. He was a pretty respected leftist figure because of his speeches. Learning about him is a good jumping off point.
@wode_maya on TikTok makes some content about Burkina Faso (and generally features African excellence)
Slop.
