According to the Marxist view, "slave trade existed in Africa, but slavery as a mode of production never existed."

This statement reflects the Marxist perspective that slavery in Africa was primarily a result of external forces such as the transatlantic slave trade, rather than being a fundamental aspect of the economic system in African societies. In Marxist theory, slavery is seen as a specific mode of production in which the labor of enslaved individuals is exploited for the benefit of the ruling class. In Africa, slavery was often practiced within traditional societies for various reasons, but it did not constitute the dominant mode of production in the same way that it did in other parts of the world, such as ancient Rome or the American South. Instead, Marxist scholars argue that the development of capitalism and colonialism played a significant role in shaping the institution of slavery in Africa.
