"Moscow’s old colonies"
Can you name a single colony where metropole built nuclear power stations, developed heavy industry, shipbuilding, space and military industries? I mean, apart from USSR's "colonies".
- mopsi 1y agoThe idea of providing infrastructure (ports, railways, telegraph) for Africa and other colonized parts of the world is a common trope in British, French, Belgian and countless other pro-colonial narratives, used to depict the subjugation of people as a benevolent gift of progress. Thank you, massa.
