"Colonialism is not satisfied merely with holding a people in its grip and emptying the natives brain of all form and content. By a kind of perverted logic, it turns to the past of the oppressed people, and distorts, disfigures, and destroys it."-Frantz Fanon

What is "Late Stage Colonialism?"
The Ghanian revolutionary Kwame Nkrumah wrote that neocolonialism is the last stage of imperialism, that is the idea that "foreign capital is used for the exploitation rather than development of the less developed parts of the world". Many places including the United States, Canada, Australia, and Israel, and some would argue much of Latin America have been settler colonial states since their foundation. However, much of the world particularly the global south exists under neocolonialism, with western powers and institutions exploiting their resources and subjugating the population. Even with countries gaining their independence, the colonialism has not stopped, it has just taken on its final form.
Why does this sub exist?
r/LateStageColonialism exists because there is no other leftist sub that is explicitly for discussing the atrocities and continuing effects of colonialism and imperialism both in regards to the past and as they continue into the future. This sub exist as a form of education and discussion because many people are truly unaware of the harms and atrocities of colonialism, and how it is still immensely damaging today. Many people think that just because today is no longer called the "Age of Colonisation" by western historians that colonialism no longer exists. They are unaware of the concepts of settler colonialism and neocolonialism and how they themselves may be complicit in living on stolen land. This sub is not meant as a debate sub, it is an education and discussion sub for people who will engage in good faith and want to learn. It is also meant as a guiding point for introducing people for the concept of decolonisation and what it may entail.

Civil War thoughts
I think there is a real possibility – even a likelihood – of Trump pushing the country into another civil war.
Project 2025 will be wildly unpopular and will meet a lot of resistance from the general population and have to be enforced by the military and police. And despite some understandable ACAB attitudes and skepticism of the military, not all military personnel or cops will want to be a part of that.
The proposed economic policies are going to be catastrophic at their worst and merely deeply bad at their best. Or at least they will be that for everyone not in the Trump circle.
So, there will be economic turmoil and efforts at a police state at the same time.
This won’t go over well.
I don’t think this possible civil war will be a succession of states or violence from “liberals” butt hurt over the 2024 election. It will be a more general shattering and collapse.
And Trump’s savvy enforcers and planners know this is likely, will start killing dissenters as soon as they can.
I hate to us this line but… change my mind.
