1. "The maintenance of economic domination by the more powerful capitalist countries over the same areas that were colonies" is the point I was making to distinguish the current post-colonial era from the previous one Lenin wrote about when the imperialist nations conquered and occupied overseas territories and deprived them of political independence. Like others on the list, I've understood for more than a half century that colonial political independence after WW II has not been accompanied by economic independence. 2. Charlie does not distinguish between the colonial and post-colonial (aka neocolonial) eras when he proposes that China and Russia have the same ambitions and are somehow engaged in the same scramble for overseas possessions as were the British, French, German, US, Dutch, Belgian, Russian, and Japanese imperialists of that earlier period. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
