While I agree that blatantly importing pure western-capitalism or marxist-communism would be to imply that only European philosophies (such as these developed by Marx and Smith) are viable...I do not think that this rules out using socialist ideas in all forms.

For example, India (the world's largest democracy) has been very succesful at using its "3rd way" ( a mix of economically socialist policies and western-capitalist social reforms). This synergy also aplies to the success of NIC in Asia such as Singapore. (in this case mixing authoritarianisma and democracy)

The point is that we as black people anywhere in the diaspora must forge our own unique system of government talior-made to our culture and values. This by no means rules out socialism, which has never really been given a FAIR (no embargo, no military undermining, etc.) chance to work in any country with a substantial population of African-descent. Even in places where it has faced considerable sabotage (ie. Cuba) it has enjoyed some developmental success.
