    colonialism is also still enforced today - IMF loans that force austerity policies on receiving nations, coups that topple popular governments and replace them with dictatorships that are friendly to western interests, the fomenting of civil wars and conflicts that frequently genocide entire populations, the sale of arms and training to far-right militias. neocolonialism doesn’t involve direct rule but it’s merely the form that’s changed, not the character or the consequences.
