Not directly, perhaps, but that’s how neocolonialism works.
Most of that is the US & UK: sanctions, supporting coups, bombings. No country needs to take IMF loans. As sovereign nations, they don’t need to use a foreign regulated currency & could adopt their own.
What does Norway have to do with this: guilt by broad association with western nations?
My argument is that these countries aren’t allowed to industrialize in their own terms with their own companies.
Again, what does Norway have to do with this? Where is their exploitation?
It seems like you’re arguing they shouldn’t trade with Africa much like an economic sanction. I’m sure that’d turn out great for Africans.
This is some unclear shit. I think you need to properly define exploitation & identify where Norway’s international economic relations fit that definition.
Otherwise, it seems your criticism amounts to “Norway’s developed economy is doing better than economies of other countries they trade with”, which doesn’t necessarily mean they’re exploiting other countries.


Tehranian’s talking about death to inanimate abstractions that must be interpreted figuratively have an excuse that competent English writers who understand coherent literal meanings do not. We don’t use “death to” this way: the right word is “fuck”, eg, “fuck traffic!”, “fuck Israel!”.
