Ubuntu, the African philosophy that emphasizes solidarity and compassion in human relations, is frequently associated with socialism. This article demonstrates that the supposed connection is a myth that stems from a misunderstanding of the peaceful essence of Ubuntu and the aggressive nature of socialist systems. Ubuntu is a humane and voluntary concept with no relation to socialist and other statist systems, which are coercive, confiscatory, and repressive, resting on the threat of state aggression. This article aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of Ubuntu, highlighting its incompatibility with socialism and other systems based on coercion, repression, and centralized state power. The article concludes by noting that Ubuntu is a commendable and much-needed worldview. It offers a humane and peaceful conception of humans, which contrasts with the prevailing Darwinian Western conception of humans and human coexistence, which is animalistic, racist, rivalrous, and aggressive. Ubuntu is not a political or economic philosophy, nor does it have any connection with socialist or other statist systems.
