The Elephant
The Elephant@theelephantinfo·
Colonial empires once governed the African territories with their flags, guns, and governors. Today, the tone has changed, but the structure remains the same. Imperialism is now negotiated in boardrooms, discussed at economic summits, and justified as “South-South Cooperation” and “South-North Cooperation,”. The real question is. Why has France continued to apply deep economic control in the former colonies through the CFA franc?

The Elephant
The Elephant@theelephantinfo·
The 21st-century #imperialism is unlike that of the 19th and 20th centuries; Neocolonialism is developing through hypocrisy. There is a stark and obvious gap between what the imperialist powers claim to support—sovereignty, global peace, and development—and what they actually do: extraction deals, military interventions, and political manipulation. The tragic part of this narrative is that most leaders on the African continent collaborate with foreign actors at the expense of their nations’ ultimate long-term interests.

This is great—so glad we finally have a brief autobiographical interview with August Nimtz! One of the best and most underrated American revolutionary socialists of our time. Didn’t know until now he had these personal encounters with Walter Rodney and Angela Davis too.

Writing for roape.net, @SofianNaceur argues that the notion of ‘border management’ is rooted in counterinsurgency & pacification tactics, & embodies nothing but merging migration control & labor extraction into a single, neocolonial concept. roape.net/2026/05/06/the…
