The Ghanian revolutionary Kwame Nkrumah wrote that neocolonialism is the last stage of imperialism, that “𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥”.

Many nations including the United States, Canada, Australia, and Israel, and some would argue much of Latin America have been settler-colonial states since their foundation. However much of the world, particularly the global south, exists under neocolonialism whereby western powers and institutions exploit their resources and subjugate the population. Even as countries gain their independence colonialism has not stopped, it has just taken on its final form.

LateStageColonialism exists as a space explicitly for discussing the atrocities and continuing effects of colonialism and imperialism both in regards to the past and as they continue into the future. This space exists as a form of education and discussion because many people are truly unaware of the harms and atrocities of colonialism, and how it is still immensely damaging today. Many people think that just because today is no longer called the “Age of Colonisation” by western historians that colonialism no longer exists. They are unaware of the concepts of settler colonialism and neocolonialism and how they themselves may be complicit in living on stolen land. This sub is not meant as a debate sub, it is an education and discussion sub for people who will engage in good faith and want to learn. It is also meant as a guiding point for introducing people for the concept of decolonisation and what it may entail.
