    I'm sure you're perfectly aware of it, but for those who aren't, you might be interested to look into Thurgood Marshall's role in the history of Kenya (he basically wrote their neo-colonialist constitution) and his role as a water carrier for American fascists. He got his SCOTUS seat by fawning over J. Edgar Hoover and purging the left from the NAACP.

    Your comments on Kenyan economic colonial status is exactly what China is doing. "Britain built the harbor...etc." You describe what China is doing when you speak in glowing terms of China's phenomenal growth and the "help" China offers Africa. They take resources in return for the harbors and roads they build in Africa but it isn't done altruistically. Improvements in Africa are built for China's needs and desire to dominate international trade in exactly the same way that India's cotton trade worked. Cotton was grown cheaply in India, exported to English mills and resold as expensive goods back to India and the world. China extracts cheap labor and resources and builds the infrastructure they need to keep the extraction coming, including educating the workforce, etc. It's still economic colonialism.
    I would love to see more developed nations actually build Africa for Africans and trade on an equal footing instead of just using cheap labor and extracting natural resources. Keeping the big profit for China while little is done to bring African workers into a situation where they can develop and prosper without some foreigners skimming off the juicy bits first is still economic colonialism.

      @@gorkyd7912 well. He did not equate fascism and capitalism. Fascism is a capitalist system . It's the far right interpretation of capitalism. But eventually any capitalist system leads to fascism. Wich it happened before and it is about to happen again. And no capitalism didn't produce any protections for workers . Workers had to die in the streets and strike to get every single benefit we have today. And every union in united states at the beginning of the last century was either socialist or communist. So you are wrong on all your claims . Just fact check him with an open mind.

      @@bbrahbboul2748 Capitalist systems do not lead to fascism, it's exactly the opposite; capitalist systems prevent fascism by dividing power between public and private. Fascism unites power under government, same as socialism or monarchy just with different core beliefs. Mussolini was a socialist, Lenin was a socialist, Hitler was a socialist; "fascism" was just a convenient name for Mussolini's party since he came to a compromise with the traditionalists when the more extreme Communists were not able to, but the actual economic system of fascism is identical to socialism; the state uses the "private market" for its own interests. Look at modern China, so-called socialism with Chinese characteristics, it's the same exact system.
      Workers in the US would not have had the option to strike for better conditions under a socialist or communist system. Whether the unions were socialist or communist makes no difference, there were also anarchists, racists, fascists, eugenicists, patriots, etc etc. But the US economic system is capitalism and that means the individual workers enjoys equal protection under the law as business owners and therefore they can march and strike all they wanted with legal protection. If the US was a socialist or communist state there would be no strikes, they would be crushed instantly like they are in China or every other socialist state. In socialism the interests of the business owner are actually the same as the interest of the state that enforces the laws so there are no equal protections; it's worker vs. state. Your boss can rape you in China and you won't be pressing charges because the state values your boss over you.

    Most people everywhere want comfort, entertainment, gadgets. Who better to look to than Europe/USA? As long that is the case there will be interdependence. A former colony or a dark world wants an escape. India, Asia and Africa has many people with money to buy apple iPhone but no significant producers to compete with Apple. Even by some luck you have a guy making phones as good as Apple he will not be well known. Apple sells worldwide and advertises worldwide. Take the case of a luxury car or a private jet, economy of scale helps an established legacy player, usually European and American. If an wealthy African nation wants to sell jets and luxury cars it could, it will have minor domestic consumer base and bad publicity abroad, they will not succeed much. The big capital and markets they established through scientific advancements and also the aggregated wealth they looted from colonies would mean the gap or lead is too wide to fill. We are the lesser world lured by the bigger world.
    Ex colonial powers are kind today, they do not want to be brutal but want a world where there is peaceful expansion, you remain buyer for all times and they remain manufacturer for ever. Peace without dignity, hope it works out well for all.

    Is there such a thing as "neo-socialist"? Given the "no true socialist" fallacy,
    and that "socialism" is completely dependent on what "capitalism" means,
    which Marx understood but his followers don't...the constantly shifting sands
    of the meaning of " socialism" should have produced a "neo-socialist" designation
    a long time ago. Of course, given the many iterations and variants of the
    "no true socialist" fallacy...the term "neo-socialist" would have been rendered irrelevant
    immediately, which explains why it doesn't exist.
    One has to marvel at this process of creating new definitions in order to indicate
    opposing positions as in the following sequence: establishmentarianism...to
    disestablishmentarianism...to antidisestablishmentarianism...which completes the circle
    ending where it began.
    As marxist socialism is dependent on capitalism for its meaning, not actually defining
    it, has allowed the process to create the "democratic-socialist" variant also known as the
    co-op variant, which is "capitalism" in disguise. No capitalist would object to
    this, since it is merely an organizational variant...although conceptually its realization
    must overcome numerous barriers of its own making in getting started and quite
    a few more, after.

    India did not get independence from Britain in 1947. It was transfer of power from the British to their chosen one British educated Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru. Mr. Nehru in his own words described described himself to be culturally a Muslim, by education British and only by accident of birth a Hindu. He was often send to jail by the British, but he was treated very well there. He even had time to write a book while in prison. Mr. Nehru took oath from Lord Mountbatten, the last Vice Roy of India. Did or could Lord Mountbatten ask Mr. Nehru to take oath for a sovereign India? He could not. Indian Government till 1970 used to send periodic reports to Whitehall about the condition of the country. What kind of an independence is that? Indian Government stopped sending such reports in mi seventies. Now India is independent because most of the leaders are not British trained to be sub-ordinate to them. Britain let the colonies go because it was most cost-effective for the British. Also, the number of ex-colonies in the UN increased the support for the UK in the General Assembly in the UN as a counterbalance against the USA.
