"Imperialism was itself anti colonialism, and “anticolonialism” is simply imperialism carried to ever greater extremes. Observe that all anti colonial regimes use the same language, for example “National Liberation Front”, as if they had a bulk job of rubber stamps manufactured in Harvard, which is roughly what in fact they did. An actual national liberation movement would be unique to the traditions, history, and culture of its country, as the Somali revolution was. Instead, we get the mass mindless regurgitation of Harvard and London School of Economics talking points. One microphone, ten thousand loudspeakers. You cannot tell which anticolonialist you are hearing from, they all blur together. In Africa, all the regimes except the Ethiopian, Somali, and Botswanan regimes are imperially installed muppet regimes."
