The Ghanian revolutionary Kwame Nkrumah wrote that neocolonialism is the last stage of imperialism, that "๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ช๐จ๐ฏ ๐ค๐ข๐ฑ๐ช๐ต๐ข๐ญ ๐ช๐ด ๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐น๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ช๐ต๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ต๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ญ๐ฅ".
Many nations including the United States, Canada, Australia, and Israel, and some would argue much of Latin America have been settler-colonial states since their foundation. However much of the world, particularly the global south, exists under neocolonialism whereby western powers and institutions exploit their resources and subjugate the population. Even as countries gain their independence colonialism has not stopped, it has just taken on its final form.

LateStageColonialism exists as a space explicitly for discussing the atrocities and continuing effects of colonialism and imperialism both in regards to the past and as they continue into the future. This space exists as a form of education and discussion because many people are truly unaware of the harms and atrocities of colonialism, and how it is still immensely damaging today. Many people think that just because today is no longer called the "Age of Colonisation" by western historians that colonialism no longer exists. They are unaware of the concepts of settler colonialism and neocolonialism and how they themselves may be complicit in living on stolen land. This sub is not meant as a debate sub, it is an education and discussion sub for people who will engage in good faith and want to learn. It is also meant as a guiding point for introducing people for the concept of decolonisation and what it may entail.
