1. La Izquierda y el Colonialismo: Críticas y Acusaciones.
La izquierda es frecuentemente acusada de tener una visión confusa o hipócrita sobre el colonialismo, mientras que algunos argumentan que el liberalismo es una forma de colonialismo disfrazada.
- Oh and regarding colonialism, the left thinks liberals don’t care enough it because they’ve broadly adopted really extreme, demented and repugnant views about it.
- I really cannot overstate how confused and silly the left is about colonialism.
- Liberalism is just colonialism marketed as freedom.
2. Liberalismo y Colonialismo: ¿Enemigos Ideológicos o Cómplices Históricos?
Existe un debate sobre si el liberalismo es inherentemente opuesto al colonialismo o si, históricamente, ha sido utilizado para justificarlo. Algunos argumentan que el liberalismo universalista es un enemigo natural del colonialismo, mientras que otros señalan la participación de liberales en regímenes coloniales.
- Moreover liberalism and colonialism are ideologically at odds.
- The characteristics of liberalism don't necessarily endorse colonialism.history just saw those traits arise at the same time.
- Except that you're conflating two mutually incompatible things: colonialism & liberalism.
3. El Rol del Liberalismo en la Crítica al Colonialismo.
Se argumenta que las críticas más poderosas al liberalismo, especialmente en sus versiones pre-guerra, se centran en su relación con el colonialismo. Sin embargo, algunos critican a la izquierda por usar el término "colonialismo" de manera excesiva, diluyendo su significado.
- Most of the powerful critiques of liberalism or at least the pre-war versions of the liberalism-feudalism compromises that ran the us and europe are about colonialism.
- Imo we in academia/the left broadly defined to include everyone who doesn’t gargle the balls of an orange fascist have created an incentive structure where the more things you call colonial, the woker you are and at some point, it starts to belittle actually existing victims of colonialism.
4. Colonialismo como Herramienta Retórica y Política.
El término "colonialismo" se utiliza a menudo como una acusación política, tanto por la izquierda como por la derecha, para descalificar o atacar a sus oponentes. Algunos sugieren que el uso excesivo del término ha llevado a una falta de comprensión real de sus implicaciones.
- If the left wants to win elections they need to stop using terms like "colonialism". It's a negative trigger for moderates.
- "colonialism" is to the chronically online leftists what "woke" is to the right-wingers: a buzzword that allows you to dismiss anything you don't like, without having to think about it or defend your position.
- Because rightists tend to paint literally everything in terms of their misguided belief of what colonialism is?
5. La Persistencia del Colonialismo en el Presente.
Se debate si el colonialismo ha terminado realmente o si simplemente ha mutado en nuevas formas, como el neocolonialismo. Algunos argumentan que las estructuras de poder y explotación que surgieron del colonialismo siguen presentes en la actualidad.
- Nothing ever ends under colonialism for the oppressed it just transforms or mutates enough to satisfy liberals.
- For 300 years, colonialism did the same. Liberal values at home never meant liberal policies overseas. A moral & geographical firewall separated metropolitan rhetoric from colonising actions. As the far right gains ground that separation will become sharper within the west itself.
- The "liberal world order" was colonialism and then it was neocolonialism we can be sad it's collapsing into water-wars fascism but you are pretending there was ever a kind of "liberal" "internationalism" that wasn't mostly in the piling-up-skulls business when viewed from a global perspective.
