Recent events – the extra-judicial abduction of Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores, by the United States; the unprovoked and illegal US and Israeli war against Iran; the unjust blockade of fuel shipments to Cuba; and, of course, the Israeli genocidal war against Gaza with full American backing – have all served to confirm the reality of imperialism in our contemporary lives.
If Western imperialism once took the form of direct colonial rule from the European conquest of the Americas in the late fifteenth century until the mid-twentieth century, today it operates indirectly.
It now exerts economic, political, and cultural control over the Global Majority through persuasion, intimidation, threats, and intervention.
Despite the vast majority of the world having undergone formal decolonization, we remain subject to domination, particularly by the United States, in the form of economic controls and political coercion.
This is precisely what President Sukarno, at the 1955 Asian-African Conference, also known as the Bandung Conference, referred to as neocolonialism.
Recently, the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and Iranian Foreign Minister, Dr. Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, spoke at separate international conferences and reflected in their speeches two widely differing visions of what the world should be like.
One was a grotesque display of the imperialist impulse, while the other was a plea for international order, respect and peace. (more...)
