@Andywarski Do you think that it's okay to enslave, oppress, and rob from an entire continent if some of those people's ancestors will eventually be better off?
Because that is kinda the crux of this discussion.

I don't even believe that's true. The fact is Africa is still basically used as a strip mine for horrific western (and recently Chinese) corporations to extract value and labor in extremely exploitative ways. tl;dr Full African Socialism now.

Idk, I think that in the case of colonialism any benefits to the native population was an accidental byproduct & was not intentional. I think that the Chinese are investing in education & infrastructure. So I think they are taking a better approach, but I could be wrong
