I'm a baby leftist and still learning. You keep using this phrase. I'm sure I live in it but I'd like to know what Hexbears define as the imperial core.

    Follow up question for others: If your community is in third world conditions but your in an imperial core country, say you're in the Mississippi Delta, are you in the imperial core still?

      This is what I'd refer to as an "internal colony".

      While it's not necessarily perfectly apt as it may be erasing the racialised aspects of internal colonialism, I think as shorthand it's probably quite suitable.

        Also, nation-states aren't real, and geographical relationships to the physical centers of power do not necessarily correlate with actual relationships to power.
