All the colonial empires wore. The problem was, that they could monopolize trade- and starve out countries. No need for prisons, camps etc. you just cut off trade and let the starvation do the rest of the horror. Bonuspoints if you changed the agricultural sector of a region to produce only one thing like tea or cotton.
Some even managed to starve breadbaskets - like stalin did. It was a monstrous time, and this world of monsters strangling newborn nations, gave rise to the monsters to out-monster the monsters. Stalinism and Facism. Empires are horrific things, with a starved out, vampire sucked dry periphery and a core pretending that everything is normal and civilized. To want to go back to that time, is to abandon all mankind. Nuclear war and a swift end is preferable to this.
