>>11872723I'm gonna assume we're talking about first world, inventive, material civilisation.
There would be no modern political system in africa if it were left to itself, but this is also true of most of the world outside europe (Americas, Australia, SSA, Indonesia ). Centralised state/ law/economic formation is a product of north west europe that spread outwards. Basically - in all of history - only NW europeans invented the "first world" systems, others can maintain it/ use it when given to them, but inventing such a civilization is another task.
There is no reason to think any country outside europe would have undergone the industrial revolution without the aid of Europeans (ie there are no independent inventions, philosophical/political development suggesting so) so...no SSA would not have any semblance of modern civilisation if it were just left alone
