Is there a term for this?
Hello comrades,
I’m looking for if there is a word for this concept relating to imperialism/colonialism in marxist or neo-marxist thought. The whole phenomenon of peripheral nation-states kind of get “stuck” after imperialism and aren’t able to climb their way out.
For example (I know these are slightly different things)
- states trying to nationalize industry and getting shut down by the west (like Libya or Iran)
- states that struggle politically or become unstable/reactionary after liberation from colonial powers (like in many places in Africa)
- states that are unable to organize opposition to liberal ideology (often from within, because of western influence) (like Ukraine)
I know basically why these things happen, but I want to know if there is a word for these things. Feel free to share anything that you can think of, probably Fanon has words for this? I come from an ML background. TIA
