Western imperialism is the dominant geopolitical phenomenon of the last 600 years. At its height it dominated 80% of the world’s population. Today it still controls the majority of the world’s wealth. Every country in the world today currently exhibits some pathology that can be traced back to Western imperialism, and for most of them you don’t have to trace back at all because they’re currently subject to that imperialism.

What other imperialism are facing today? China? The country that hasn’t dropped a bomb in conflict or fired upon a vessel in almost 40 years? Russia who has engaged in 3 conflicts, all border conflicts, since 1992, while the US has engaged in several dozen, invading and bombing over a dozen countries in that same time frame?

Maybe you’re worried about Brazilian imperialism? Burkinabe imperialism? Indonesian imperialism? What other imperialism are we dealing with today in the world that would lead you to believe it’s naive and highly revisionist to focus all of our efforts on defeating and repairing from Western imperialism?
