So yes, its not really up for debate that those states & societies were born of the plantation & see massah as their lord & savior.
There was those like Nkrumah who tried to steer the up & coming generations in a different direction through a strain of Marxism that felt they could set up a communist system through the existing democratic plantation. Then there were those of Cape Verde, Guineau Bissau & Mozambique that used the other options on the table (though it seems they were assisted in their Afro-Marxism by Porty Geez who in term seemed to be influenced by the Euro-commie style of Palmiro Togliatti).
Angola & Congo (the other one, not Zaire) were assisted by the Fidelistas & the Non-ALigned Socialists (like the Badawi
NASSERISTS).
So yes there was a time when they decided to build a state, society & civilization outside of massah & the plantation (but that generation rejected the plantation identity politics while the current one relishes in aping the most disgusting & despicable element of massah) Atlantic plantation afrocentrics had nothing to do with it, but Marxism & other forms of revolutionary socialism did.
