    The same cannot be said for most countries colonized by western powers because they did not overthrow the oppressive classes, instead they empowered them and made them into subordinate comprador classes, the British innovations to the Indian caste system being a famous example and the Belgian cannibal overseers of the Congo being a lesser known one

    Like this is basic history of imperialism 101 stuff
