COLONIALISM

Capitulation resulting in vassalage was branded colonialism by the so-called natives in many lands, and they revolted against this control in the heart of darkness. But was it a wise move? Maybe colonialism should be restarted, if the subjugated agree to it by the subjugator. One would judge by results, and the results of native independence movements have not always been good (ref: sub Sahara.) Many so called former colonies are now worse off than under imperial rule. Even the success stories were made greater successes, as in the case of India; without their former master would they have gotten rid of sati? Did not Rome allow free local religion as long as no humans were sacrificed. This is treated as an imposition on culture by the multiculturalists. Japan was an imperial power raping Manchuria china - an act seen as illegitimate. But after the bomb Japan was corrected, put in its place, made a vassal of the U.S. and this was judged legitimate by its results. So clearly not all claims on the use of force are equal. The feudal lord created modern Japan democratically in its image, and it is now a peaceful productive society, instead of a war monger, made so by the benevolent rule of the u.s. Even though subservient to their feudal lord in security matters, they are still a sovereign nation in all other regards, only submitting for protection because its in their own self interest.
