@AUSGrizzly The fault doesn't lie with europeans "supposed" corruption of colonial slavery, that is in fact an example and practice of REVISIONIST history as it was one of the latest practices seen after the war and quite a turning point after 400 years of Europe having outlawed slavery, Rome had slaves and so did the Ottoman Empire, right now it is legal in Zimbabwe to have slaves, so it is in South Africa and in many places like West and Center Asia there exist indentured slavery, in fact it exists in America and so it does with Europe with prison laborers, don't mistake it for something that is not done, its just not called slavery for the sake of optics, try thinking about the meaning and the enforcement by penalization, there are prisons that are for profit after all.
Remind yourself that the first countries to outlaw slavery began with the british at the end of the bizantines throughout 300 hundred since 1500 and America was in fact one of the latests to end slavery. Countries such as Spain and France had already outlawed the practice by the 1700s but that didn't mean they wouldn't have manservants or the like. The USSR had in fact lend a hand in the revolution of africa by providing weapons and inciting violence, sleeper agents and riots through those colonies, look up the scientific progress of Rhodesia as we now know as zimbabue, who had developed train lines and had a faster culture and educational rate than even the chinese to serve even better progress in tech, there is a document about it where I don't remember if it was a chinese or japanese had led a documentary in Sudan or Algeria (I don't remember the particulars) where the meme of "it's all so tiresome" was borne, please study the subject. Politics is always involved and our perception is usually clouded by manufactured propaganda or marketing towards it without actually looking the cause.
