Part 4* ... clearing technich that was simply put forests on fire. The colonizers later adopeted the technich and today this is a major problem in Brazil because of all the enviromental damage this does. So again, they arent tree hugging hippies. And I am tired of this topic, so let me move to the final topic before I give my conclusions.

4. Modern day colonialism
Is there modern day colonialism? If there is, I can only think of one place: Israel. Althought Israel is nowhere the devil people and /pol/tards will paint it to be, they do move palestinian and arab populations by force and put their own settlements there. If you want to talk about what happens today, you could call it imperialism. More powerfull countrys making less powerfull countrys follow their agendas by sheer power of their economies or military. 'The Red Flag, History of Communism' shows very well how even with the so called anti-colonial policy of socialist countrys and partys, the Soviets and so on just took one power to put in place another: themselfs. You can see this in Cuba, tho Cuba was nowhere as exploited as it could have been by the soviets. And this only follows a logic you can see in 'A History of Warfare', 'Prince', 'World Order', 'A Segunda Guerra Fria' and 'The Concept of the Political': everyone is fighting everyone to have some profit. And let me say this from the start: THIS IS NATURAL AND MORALY ACCEPTABLE.
It's natural because countrys are human groups, and human groups are like animals: they want the best for their group, even at the expense of another. And is moraly acceptable because this is natural selection: cultures and/or countrys who can't adapt or defend themselfs from others, shouden't be allowed to exist. This is natures way, and if you don't like it, well then, talk to God if you want tho. In the end, you can see that, no matter what, people will fight one another, and this ideology of absolute non-violece is a ideology of death, but yourselfs death.

5. The bad of colonialism
Don't be stupid: colonialism had a bad effect that still hits us this day. Ex-colony countrys usualy turned into oligarchys or dictatorships after their independence. In Africa, etnhic cleasing was happening all over because of the uncaring particion the europeans did. Also, the economical and social structures created by colonial powers perpetuated such oligarchys until this day (in Brazil, for example, until today, our elites are corrupeted, moralistic and agrarian as in the days of the colony, and it fucks us all). The underdevelopement of native populations now-a-days and genocides that happened, like in Latin America, were proof that colonialism, even if the europeans or whoever taught legitely they were doing good, made some major back impacts on these countrys.

6. The good side of colonialism
Yet, the colonization process did put several countrys who were on the limbo into a active international stage. Local elites had the oportunity to go ...
