Today, humankind’s aspirations and demand for realizing independence are increasing more than ever before. In tandem with this, strong voices are also being heard from the international society going against the neo-colonialist policies of the U.S. and the Western countries.

On November 1, the President of Bolivia, in his speech delivered at the 26 th session of the United Nations Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP26), scathingly denounced the attempts of specific states forcing the new “Green Capitalist System” upon the developing countries as global colonialization.

In regard to the attempts of the U.S. and its vassal forces to spoil Nicaragua’s national elections, the organ of the Nicaraguan government, too, categorically rejected the U.S. aggression as an attempt to inflict sufferings upon its people by ruining and isolating its economy and as a violation of the UN Charter and international law.

This can be called as the voice resounding from the most just and righteous struggle of humankind aimed at achieving independent development free from subordination and defending the dignity and rights of the state and the people.

At a superficial level, the history of colonialism recorded in the previous century in developing countries seems to have ended. But in reality, the reactionary neo-colonialist policies of the U.S. and the Western countries have strangled the lifeline of many countries. This is a fact recognized by the world.

Numerous countries were gripped by never-ending political instability and turmoil and fratricide owing to persistent interference in internal affairs and the establishment of the system of “liberal democracy” being shoved down their throats by the U.S. and the Western countries. Countless countries, having been deprived of their human and material resources for ridiculously low prices, had to languish in endless economic stagnation and accept hunger and poverty as their inevitable fate.

The self-styled “freedom” and “democracy” of the U.S. and the Western countries are, in essence, “freedom” and “democracy” granting privilege to the strong to exploit and suppress the weak as they please. This is a bloody lesson many developing countries have now learnt the hard way through reality.

Reactionary neo-colonialist policies should be countered with a just struggle.

Many developing countries have now risen against the neo-colonialist attempts of the U.S. and the Western countries, and they are turning out in an active struggle to achieve genuine political independence and independent development of their country.

As a result, the U.S. and Western economies that used to rely on ruthless exploitation of others’ resources are floundering in the doldrums, and a gradual disintegration is being observed in the old structure and order of international relations whereby countries were discriminated between the superior and the inferior.

It is now high time all the developing countries rose up in a fight against the neo-colonialist policies which countenance inequality and privileges.

Equality, mutual benefits, sovereignty and right to development aren’t just offered by somebody for free. They are invaluable and sacred wealth of the country and nation that can be won only by waging a just struggle.

Peoples of the developing countries that love independence and justice should firmly unite and carry through a vigorous struggle against the impudent neo-colonialist attempts of the U.S. and the Western countries, staking the destiny of their country and posterity.

The anti-humane neo-colonialist policies that seek to batten on others by means of restriction and suppression are surely doomed to failure and collapse. This is something U.S. and the Western countries ought to bear in mind.
