The British voted for socialists who wanted decolonization. It is disturbing how the left is retconning history like this. Even though it was fellow leftists that pushed for decolonization, they want to rub out their efforts from history just because they are white.
The left today is highly racialized, at best they will say "oh, white people are labor aristocracy", while celebrating Indian CEOs and George Soros, you'd think some redneck coal miner would be more important than literal plutocrats but I guess not. It's about race race race first and foremost, maybe a few meme side issues like "feminism" and "trans rights", but if a bunch of immigrants start with the ooga booga rape or killing transwomen both these "allies" have to side with race. They say "stop blaming heckin' immigrantarinos, all our problems will go away if we just tax the rich" and in the same breath state that white people must be racially discriminated against for "diversity" and government spending shouldn't go to "privileged" white people. Logically speaking, aren't the plutocracy and hostile immigrants both a problem? Who said it is mutually exclusive?
It has always been like this, and it makes sense. Communism is about the "workers of the world" after all, and there is a practical advantage when they gain the support of these people. Stalinism perhaps was about socialism in one country, but after destalinization Trotsky's brand of global communism returned with the Soviet Union zealously trying to make manifest this globalist imperialist vision and set up Soviet colonies around the world.
