And Belgium. Oh and the Netherlands. And Sweden. How did Germany do in the Race For Africa?

All of the above, plus the US Empire.

Sweden is kind of off the hook since they gave up their colonial enterprise in 1737, when their last overseas colony was taken by the Spaniards.

Well, not bad by supporting Italy there and in Greece during WW2. Today people see Germany a secure place for online privacy services like cloud and e-mail servers but I don't believe a piece in it. Germany is just a liberal capitalist country with one of the best special information services in Europe, that's all.

There's a difference between the settler colonial project of the US and the extraction colonial projects of France, Spain and the UK. The former requires ethnic cleansing, the latter doesn't as you want to keep the natives to provide cheap labor for extraction.

The slave trade really arose because Europe needed labor after killing all of the natives in the Americas, though. It wasn't just settler-colonialism, it reinforced and provided the real cause of the slave trade which led up to what we consider true colonialism.

The natives usually don't comply. And when they did, there are many different quotes from them stating they got a lot poorer. When they dont comply, they are massacared.

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules: 0. Post content that is thoughtful and relevant to social liberation from an anarchist, autonomous, antifascist perspective.

  1. Be respectful
  2. Don't be a nazi
  3. Argue about the point and not the person
  4. This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.
