[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colonialism was bad. Other than a couple of dimwits here, is there really anyone pro-colonialism today? I don’t think anyone is power is pro-colonialism.[/quote]

Are you serious? What does the word mean? It means to “colonize,” it does not mean some sort of Marxist fever dream. Colonialism worked out pretty well for North America. I.e., colonizing what is now the united states. Do you really think there is a scenario where no non American peoples would have come to this continent? Also, the democrats (and many republicans) are pushing the colonization of the United States today by foreign immigrants. [/quote]

You realize that colonialism is different from colonization? The British didn't move into India (or other nations) and establish colonies, it subjugated its people, and exploited its resources, at the expense of the people that were living there.  [/quote]

British settlements in India had thousands of people, including families of British officials posted and various others. The reason the US did so poorly in Iraq and Afghanistan is that it did not follow this model. [/quote]
