I'm a Filipino. I can attest that the established elites created by the American imperialist during the commonwealth period was indeed harmful. It created structural problems in our country. The colonial effect affects our country up until today because the elites are still here in the form of political dynasties. Majority of our politicians are landlords and businessmen whose primary concern is not to govern but how to accumulate more wealth and power. And the propaganda worked. It was as if my fellow Filipinos doesn't care, they still keep voting these traditional politicians.

I know this is of historical interest only, but I recently read that Andrew Carnegie offered to buy the Phillipines (I think the price was $20m) and wanted to let them become really self-governing. He was worried about the United States becoming an imperial/colonial power which he thought was in conflict with the founding principles of the republic. The US government refused and as Dr Chomsky said went on to colonise them instead. The price he offered sounds paltry for a whole country today, but in those days it was a serious offer.

@@coderamen666 That is an ignorant statement based upon a weak understanding of history. The whole world is conquered/colonized land, with most of it conquered/colonized multiple times. In the Holy Land, the Arabs living there were colonized by the British and before them the Turks and before them, the Mamelukes, the Crusader States, the Egyptians, the Arabs, the Byzantines, the Romans, the Jews, the Greeks, the Persians, Assyrians, Babylonians, the Jews etc... Also, if we restrict our view only to European colonization (totally unjust) in the last 500 years, any objective observer must admit this was to the benefit of the world. The powers defeated and conquered by the Europeans were vastly worse than those established by the West and of course, all of modernity arrived with them. Lastly, the Arabs in Israel, are not a legitimate nation. There has never been a Palestinian people, culture, language, kingdom, nothing. It's a modern-day construct invented by Yassir Arafat. The Arabs rejected a two-state solution every time it has been offered and the results have been what we have today. If you are anti-Israel, then you are pro-Hamas, which means you favor modern-day Nazism. Your entire worldview is wrong.

Love Chomsky, a brilliant man. Me NZer, ugh! From one extreme to another we have - early white settler colonialists in Tasmania hunting down Aboriginals for literally sport, and basically exterminating Tasmanian Aboriginals. Cook came and found NZ, first landing in Gisborne, where I live. Cook had specific instructions to do no harm to any native populations he found. But what he found were savage, thieving cannibals, who actually enjoyed human flesh. (My late wife was a very high born Maori - close relative of Sir Charles Bennett, Frederick Augustus Bennett, and so on). One chief was quoted, "The taste of flesh is sweet!" Apparently fingers were the best bits. And of course we finally had the Treaty of Waitangi, which is unique in the world. Downside though? In recent decades we've had a Grievance Industry with Maori claiming even the broadcasting air waves as their own. And our shame is that Maori are over-represented in offending, and our imprisonment per capita is second only to the States. And Maori are extremely susceptible to the worst aspects of American culture. And the last 'full blood' Maori died in 1991, I believe. And NZ is not as 'clean & green' as we'd like to project. Real estate prices have gone off the scale, and NZ ain't what it used be in the fifties. It's still pretty much gun crime-free though, which compares favourably with 600 gun deaths per week in America. "How can a poor man face such times and live?" I dunno. Somehow??

They didn't even forced the population to convert to Islam. They expelled or killed most of the small ruling class of nobles, but some of them just pledged loyalty to the new rulers and went on with business as usual. This has nothing to do with the kind of colonialism Chomsky is talking about.
