  6. But for Gran Colombia, the US didn't have to do much. It came apart on its own.

  7.  @yahiaaymen7876  Gran Colombia collapsed on its own. It didn't need the US's help in achieving that.

  8. Even my Marx's own admission.

  9. Why revolutionaries and freedom-fighters generally suck at running countries and become the very oligarchs and oppressors they fought against.

  10. LMAO.

  11. Communism earned its bashing.

  12. Actually that's a good thing as there are no places that France invaded and colonized that are successful to this day. Not Haiti. Not anywhere West or Central Africa. Not Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam.

  13. It damaged the USSR, because it had no real backup to compensate for all the revenues lost by the oil price collapse.

  14.  @tibodeclercq2131  And the results.

  15. It was a cause. Nations are destroyed from within. Outside interference for Yugoslavia was little more than the final nail in the coffin.

  16. Just like he was right about Latin America being an ungovernable mess and would remain that way.

  17.  @azadbangla9611  Tito earned his hatred.

  18. LOL. Where did you get such a number from? And since when was Brazil Spanish?

  19.  @helenorsanic7921  I thought he was a Serb. I thought Hitler was Austrian. And I thought Stalin was an ethnic Georgian.

  20. LOL. The US supplied the USSR with grain when the USSR itself ran into shortages.

  21. You know that the military accounts for barely 3% of the US's overall GDP, right?
    1
  22.  @manyulgarprsch  That countries cannot achieve anything without US intervention.

  23. Especially without outside aid. See Cuba, Laos and North Korea.

  24. < Some are survive,> Namely the ones that adopted capitalist reforms and now operate as social democracies. < some are perpetually poor.> Chinese client-states like North Korea and Laos.

  25. Explain East Timor.

  26. Largely of its own making.

  27. If it wasn't for EU membership, Spain would be on par with its former Latin American colonies.
    1
  28. Nope. And the USSR had the most resources of any country that adopted it.
    1
  29. Just like Spain.

  30.  ꤾꤳꤰꤻꥃꥅꤹꥆꤶꥄꥂ  And the world is slowly turning into Soviet-era Russia.

  31.  @draganpavlovic210  But they were punished by having their hard-earned wealth transferred to the underperforming regions of Yugoslavia.

  32. They're not failed, but definitely inconsequential.
    1
  33. Apparently, colonialism wasn't just a European thing.
    1
  34. Like Soviet Russia?
    1
  35. How so? Islam is monotheistic. Paganism is polytheistic.

  36. <No wonder some famous international.persons ( Putin?) mentioned, in tones of praise, Xi's ability to unite all ethnic groups in the vast country of China, a country with different religions ( and different sects within each) and different dialects, some even so different in both sounds and in writing ! > By brute force. Because like all collectivist ideals, communism does not value nor respect individual liberty and agency.

  37. Keep coping!
    1
  38. OUCH!
    1
  39. Because Spain lost the war to the US.
    1
  40. Yet they happily accepted Western aid.
    1
  41. And rightfully so. They got tired of having their hard-earned wealth taken away to support basket cases.
    1
  42.  @MaxScooterfan  But the Soviet government lost their credibility with both locals and foreigners.
    1
  43. Whatever, tankie!
    1
  44. But it failed.

  45. People of African descent make up 66% of French Guiana's population.
    1
  46. Mostly internal issues.

  47. Japan was an empire unto itself. Just ask the rest of Asia. New Zealand is an ex-British colony.

  48. LOL

  49.  @miguelbrito4553  But his own ego killed that plan of a unified Latin America along with the ego of other local leaders.

  50.  @miguelbrito4553  Nah. He was yet another liberator turned oppressor.
