Homeless Friend posted:This basically just sounds like imperialism, through existing neoliberal order the US has propagated, rather than colonialism imo. What I'm saying is lets get pedantic i guess the reason i'd call it a flavor of colonialism is that they're actively trying to supplant native populations / businesses / etc. instead of just installing themselves and ruling by force like an imperial power would. in west africa at least the chinese model mirrors the french colonial strategy pretty closely - they bring in their own "overseers" to run stuff and never let any local people acquire the skills / equipment to do it themselves if / when they pull out - while i was over there i actually heard quite a few arguments between people that were colonized by the british vs. the french, and the usual argument was that british colonization was preferable because they were mostly able to retain self sufficiency after the british left, whereas the french took everything with them and basically made their colonial holdings start over from scratch. in a lot of places it's basically chinese capitalists gentrifying local areas. in liberia and ghana they literally run mandarin lessons on morning tv

the paradigm shift posted:there was definitely cia operatives and a Kennedy involved The Brits talked Eisenhower into it because  , with Dulles' cia orchestrating most of it. The US spent $75,000 on literal thugs to whip up a storm and it worked...for a while anyhow. IDK for sure but I imagine Eisenhower realized he got played and that influenced his telling the Brits to get hosed in 56 over the Suez.Since the 19th century Iranians have often viewed the British as, if not the direct force behind their woes, the puppeteers getting others to gently caress Iran over for them. Though they know full well how antagonistic the US is without anyone leading us on.

huh, so if Bernie is the nominee and runs on ending the conflict with Iran, they'll be even more convinced that he is the antichrist than they were about Obama
