Look, I don’t think colonialism was best for most nations, but there were some positive sides to it as well.

I totally agree. To the left, colonialism is one of the ultimate evil crimes -- up there with slavery. But this is a simple, cartoonish view. As you point out, colonialism had some real benefits, as well as real harm, especially the way the British practiced it.
