Probably the best explanation of neocolonialism you can fit into a paragraph.
It’s like a half-assed version of poetry. A lot of it’s a slog and a bad medium for good communication, but the restrictions of the form do occasionally produce really cool stuff.
twitter is the best major social media platform out there tbh

It’s baby-level economics to understand, if the global north is profiting off resource extraction then that’s less $$$ going back to the country with the resources. The only argument the neolibs even have is “but government-run enterprises aren’t as EFFICIENT!!!” Which isn’t even true… but even if it was true for say railroads and telecoms, would love to see them explain how it’s true for just pulling rocks and minerals out of the ground.
Canada is 3 Telecoms and 99 Mining companies in a suit pretending to be a country
Fuck China for colonizing Africa
