Ever been to a former colony? Most of the best of what they have are the decaying features built by the colonizers. Everything else is just another third world shit-hole.

The citizens only thought they were oppressed by the colonizers until they have become even more oppressed by their dictators and corruption.

India had the keys to the kingdom, if they just maintained what the Brits left behind.

Someone who is anti-colonialist in a place like a sub-Saharan African country should be consistent and do without anything discovered or invented by Westerners—electricity, clean water, sanitation, literacy, the internal combustion engine, trains, airplanes, computers, modern medicine, etc.

If Marxism hadn’t been in vogue in the West when the world rapidly decolonized (1918 - 1960) the freed colonies might have done better. At least they would have been economically literate.
