some of those you mention engage in imperialism on their neocolonies.

Of course someone from .ml would repeat the same buzzwords without thought.

I know. I came from a post-colonial/neocolonial country. But to treat all Western countries as monolith is utterly ridiculous. It is ironically being racist to dismiss white former colonies as neocolonialist like Poland, Ireland and Malta just because they arw white, isn't? Frankly, the MLs patronise the global south as if they have no agency in the same way as neoliberal imperialists do. Ask Filipinos and Indians on what they think of CPP-NPA and Naxalites, respectively. MLs would actually get more respect and taken seriously if they aren't being hypocritical like the neoliberals. ML is just another form of tyranny with a different mask.

You must be new to dealing with MLs. Nothing "uncalled for" for calling out MLs that keep harping about social democratic countries having neocolonies, when literally these countries have none and some of these countries even used to be colonies.

imperialism doesn't exist! its a figment of "ML" imagination.

please get a grip on reality, nevermind we are on an entire thread about it. (and leave my fucking country for once)

You probably won't see many Norwegians or Swedes in your country. You're just racist.

ahahahahahahha yeah, because they are grossed out by my country. their presence here is limited to extractivism and destroying our natural reserves.

one step closer to the "white genocide" fascists. keep up and you will get there i'm sure.

And I am sure that ML presence in former Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Poland Slovenia, India, Afghanistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Ethiopia are not "extractive" for you.

"Of course not, they're my crowd! It's only bad if we're not the ones doing it!"

what??? afghanistan was literally just sucked dry by the us empire. philippines? india? holy shit i wish there were MLs with enough power to "extract" anything in these places, where are you even getting your news from?

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

And who were in Afghanistan before the US came?

Ask Filipinos and Indians what they think of CPP-NPA and Naxalite respectively.

You should ask yourself if your head is out of the sand to even actually get news from post-colonial people themselves disrupted by ML activities.

maybe it was socialism's fault for the us destabilization of the region.

I won't listen to the lived experience of any of those who suffered from communism because I want to act holier-than-thou.
