when spoken of, just needs to be used more precisely and not so sloppily referred to today's much more complex form of imperialism, whether people talking about it are radical or not. Maybe there can be some more creative applications of the term when talking about neoliberal politics, capitalism is ultimately still kind of a "colonizing" form of praxis. Gentrification, for example, can fairly be said to be a sort of "colonization" effort. But as the most recent anon stated, "colonization", "white-supremacist", "patriarchal", are all tied into some sort of a self-victimization psychology that seems to dominate the full spectrum of american politics, left and right. Exploring and breaking from victimhood seems like the only way out of it.
