Yes, of course I oppose those things. Their healthcare was founded on eugenics, and they didn't support the right for women to vote. They supported the right for a few women to vote. I am very opposed to suffrage that is not universal. It makes no distinction to the concept of democracy.
Their concept of women's rights and healthcare amalgamated into how they would force lesbians into brothels in an effort to rape them back to heterosexuality. I'd rather stick to private care providers in such a circumstance to be honest.
Not even Kautsky, the chauffer of history's clown car, was this ridiculous.
And as for Blair's involvement in colonialism, here's some of his own writings on the matter:
Let us now consider the economic question. Here again we find the Burmese in general too ignorant to have a clear understanding of the way in which they are being treated and, as a result, too ignorant to show the least resentment.
Besides, for the moment they have not suffered much economic damage.
It is true that the British seized the mines and the oil wells. It is true that they control timber production. It is true that all sorts of middlemen, brokers, millers, exporters, have made colossal fortunes from rice without the producer-that is the peasant-getting a thing out of it.
It is also true that the get-rich-quick businessmen who made their pile from rice, petrol etc. are not contributing as they should be to the well-being of the country, and that their money, instead of swelling local revenues in the form of taxes, is sent abroad to be spent in England.
If we are honest, it is true that the British are robbing and pilfering Burma quite shamelessly.
But we must stress that the Burmese hardly notice it for the moment. Their country is so rich, their population so scattered, their needs, like those of all Orientals, so slight that they are not conscious of being exploited.
He was just yet another social democrat orientalist who, like Chomsky, both admonishes imperialism and yet praises it with profound messianic virtues not found in the supposedly savage lands they seek to civilise. It's just nonsense. That's why their works were widely published by imperialist governments, rather than relegated and censored. They do not exist to inspire people to defy their rulers, but rather to reconcile the personal feelings of middle class liberals.
