“Colonialism hardly ever exploits the whole of a country. It contents itself with bringing to light the natural resources, which it extracts, and exports to meet the needs of the mother country's industries, thereby allowing certain sectors of the colony to become relatively rich. But the rest of the colony follows its path of under-development and poverty, or at all events sinks into it more deeply.”

“When the British left, India was a multireligious, multiregional, multiethnic country, exploited, backward, and poor from colonialism.”

“Can you imagine the feeling of being an oppressed colonial being addressed respectfully by a colonizer in the mother country?”

“If you know the country he said then you will be a wild colonial boy forever”

“the whole idea that people have a clue as to how the world works, is just a piece of laughable metaphysical colonialism perpetrated upon the wild country of time.”

“Home ownership,and the vast consumption of materials and energy it requires, forces some pretty exploitative foreign policy manoeuvres. This makes people in those resource-rich places as mad as natives were at the practices of the colonial empires exploiting them two hundred years ago.”
