postcolonial thought and US policy

   <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6077932889256660"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> Gurminder K Bhambra and John Holmwood (2017) “European colonialism is integral to the development of welfare states and their forms of inclusion and exclusion which remain racialised through into the twenty-first century”  In postcolonial thought there continues to be an understanding that class warfare is not as significant to revolution and that there is more complexity in subaltern (the dispossessed) people and that the idea of the bourgeoisie and proletariat class understanding does not fully explain the disparities in the societies of the East particularly and the Global South.  Certainly, though the acquisition of land and change of culture has been the hallmark of colonization.  Bhambra and Holmwood understand the exclusionary nature of land owning in the colonized world as such: “The enclosure movement represents a privatisation of collective rights in land and, in turn, creates a dispossessed class of landless worker”  this leads to the need for reformation of societal priorities.  Bhambra and Holmwood continue to describe disparity in the following way: “Given the fact that the core of one’s sic analysis is that the commodity status of labour (and land and money) is ‘fictional’, even liberalism has to construct a ‘residual’ welfare regime that seeks, as far as possible, to maintain the primacy of market exchanges, but, nonetheless, modifies them, while reproducing a default ideology of public policy in which the market has primacy”  In the Marxist scheme which is behind much of the social change and policy-making, labeled as the promotion of the welfare state or “justice” and the dive into socialist propaganda by default and labeled “democracy.    The US Congress has implemented these ideologies to form connections between the state of the union and highlighted radical social changes labeled "democracy."
