What about confronting it's colonial present? Last time I checked, the colonialist world order that underpins the wealth of the Global North hasn't ended.
I think it means losing those colonies
Last time I checked, big foreign corporations are still looting and pillaging all over Africa as if independence never happened... I wonder why?
edit: This includes Shell, a Dutch corporation, btw.
I'm guessing relative weakness of the governments and rampant corruption.
Yeah... tons of bribe money will do that to the governments of weak nations - it's almost like Cuba had the correct idea.
Cuba should start bribing those governments to stick it to the West
