    Are those countries this way as a result of the historical theft of their resources? Would uplifting the common person in that country lead to progressive change there?

      Difficult to say. One possible area to look into is formerly colonized nations that have experienced very strong economic growth in the last 30 years. What do you think?

      Would Brazil be a good example? I believe colonialism ended over 200 years ago and they’ve seen pretty strong growth in the last ~25 years. How would you rate their attitude towards modern colonialilsm?

      What about South Africa? Or is that a bad example. Their consistency on the topic of imperialism is interesting to say the least.
