The U.S. secretary of state is reviving the language and intent of 19th century colonialism to deter what he sees as “the forces of civilizational erasure that today menace both America and Europe alike,” writes Joe Lauria.

Cecil Rhodes may have been the most unabashed imperialist of the modern era. In his 1877 “Confession of Faith,” he wrote:
“I contend that we are the finest race in the world and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race. Just fancy those parts that are at present inhabited by the most despicable specimens of human beings what an alteration there would be if they were brought under Anglo-Saxon influence, look again at the extra employment a new country added to our dominions gives.
We are actually limiting our children and perhaps bringing into the world half the human beings we might owing to the lack of country for them to inhabit that if we had retained America there would at this moment be millions more of English living.I contend that every acre added to our territory means in the future birth to some more of the English race who otherwise would not be brought into existence. Added to this the absorption of the greater portion of the world under our rule simply means the end of all wars. “
Rhodes ever regretted that the British Empire lost its North American colonies. He wanted the United States to be rejoined with Britain to create a great, racially superior Anglo-Saxon Empire that would rule over a global Pax Britannica.
“Why should we not form a secret society with but one object the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole uncivilised world under British rule for the recovery of the United States for the making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire. What a dream, but yet it is probable, it is possible.“
Instead the U.S. went its own way to build such an Anglo-Saxon global empire but with the U.S. instead in the lead and Britain absorbed as junior partner (with the other Three Eyes).
The transition to predominance from the British to the American Empire could be demarcated at the Suez Crisis of Oct. 29 to Nov. 7, 1956 when the United States, the preeminent power after the war, put an end to the French, British and Israeli military adventure to stop Egypt nationalizing the canal.
That made the U.S. the major power in the Middle East, supplanting British and French colonialism.
Four months later, on March 6, 1957, the Gold Coast became the first African country to gain independence, renaming itself Ghana. That was the beginning of the end for direct British, French, Belgian and Portuguese rule on the continent.
Colonialism only superficially ended in the wave of independence that followed in the 1960s, 70s and 80s in Africa and Asia. After many bitter and protracted wars, the worst coming in Angola (1961–1975) and Vietnam (1945–1975), European flags were lowered and the flags of proud, new nations rose.
But European and American political and economic dominance of the Global South continues, at first challenged by the non-aligned movement and now by the BRICS nations led by China and Russia — the greatest obstacles to U.S. global domination.

The U.S. empire arose almost immediately after the separation from Britain that Rhodes so lamented.
First, the slaughter and takeover of Native American nations; then the purchase of Louisiana from a cash-strapped Napoleon; followed by the conquest of Mexico’s northern territories from Texas to California; and then defeat and displacement of the decrepit Spanish empire in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
Two world wars extended U.S. presence first in Europe and Russia and then on military bases spanning the globe. While Rhodes was busy running Africa, planning a Cape Town to Cairo railroad and enriching himself on the continent’s diamonds, the United States today seeks to dominate the entire world and all the resources it needs to do it.
Major setbacks in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan has left Washington and its corporate partners undeterred. The Global South’s continuing aspiration for full independence is the enemy that threatens unbridled U.S. power.
This is the context in which Marco Rubio, the U.S. secretary of state and national security adviser, stepped to the podium at the Munich Security Conference on Feb. 14 to deliver a speech worthy of Rhodes, one that may have led him to believe the U.S. had returned to the Anglo-Saxon home where it belonged.
Rubio said Americans and Europeans “are part of one civilization – Western civilization. We are bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common civilization to which we have fallen heir.”
He asks what the U.S. and its Western allies are fighting for?
“Armies fight for a people; armies fight for a nation. Armies fight for a way of life. And that is what we are defending: a great civilization that has every reason to be proud of its history, confident of its future, and aims to always be the master of its own economic and political destiny.”
Rubio is dismissing seven decades of anti-colonialism, arguing it has impeded American and Western greatness. There’s nothing to be ashamed of in the West’s colonial past of slavery and abuse and the future is there again for the taking.
Europe’s great cultural treasures, built on the exploitation of the colonies, “foreshadow the wonders that await us in our future. But only if we are unapologetic in our heritage and proud of this common inheritance can we together begin the work of envisioning and shaping our economic and our political future.”
The West must shake off any residual guilt from its colonialist past and proudly reassert Western dominance like in the good old days of conquest and expansion.
The good old days of Cecil Rhodes, of Leopold’s barbarity in Congo, German genocide in Namibia, Portuguese brutality in Angola, Spanish atrocities in South America, French crimes in Algeria and Indochina and Anglo-Saxon massacres in India, North America and Australia. Greenland, Canada, Venezuela and next Iran are open imperialist targets of the Trump administration.
‘Expand Our Territory’
Donald Trump takes the oath of office as the 47th president of the United States, Jan. 20, 2025. (Ike Hayman/ White House)
In his January 2025 inaugural address, Donald Trump spelled it out: “America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on Earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world. From this moment on, America’s decline is over.”
Trump said:
“It is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor and the vitality of history’s greatest civilization. … The United States will once again consider itself a growing nation, one that increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises our expectations and carries our flag into new and beautiful horizons.” [Emphasis added.]
The Days of Denial
The U.S. had long denied it was an empire. But no more.
Before the Soviet Union made “imperialism” a dirty word, empires were proud to be called empires. The U.S. founders in their writings referred to the new country as one. George Washington called the U.S. “a rising empire,” and Thomas Jefferson said western expansion would create an “empire of liberty,” Manifest Destiny became the slogan to conquer the continent.
During William McKinley’s presidency, the 1898 U.S. defeat of the Spanish Empire and seizure of overseas colonies was wildly popular. There was no shame in empire.
McKinley tried to frame imperialism as a civilizing mission and “benevolent assimilation” rather than the naked conquest that it was, but the Anti-Imperialist League aptly named it. That the openly anti-imperialist William Jennings Bryan fell to McKinley’s 1900 re-election showed just how popular American imperialism was.

(From May 28, 1898 issue of The Boston Globe/Public Domain)
But the rise of the Soviet Union and its criticism of the West as “imperialist” turned the word into a curse which Ronald Reagan eventually invoked to label the Soviets the “Evil Empire” in a case of pure projection.
Post-war U.S. coups and invasions expanded dominance under cover of spreading democracy, though democrats were unseated for dictators, such as in Iran and Chile. A fleeting revival of domestic anti-imperialism around Vietnam was overcome in the 1991 Gulf War, in which George H.W. Bush proclaimed the Vietnam syndrome over.
That cleared the way for U.S. interventions in Yugoslavia in 1999, Afghanistan in 2001 and the major invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Despite all this clear evidence, the trepidation with which U.S. politicians approached the idea that the U.S. was an empire was illustrated by a 2008 radio interview in which then Sen. John Edwards, a Democratic presidential candidate, was asked an incredible question: ‘Is America an empire?’
There was dead air for about 10 seconds before Edwards said, “Gee, I hope not.”
[See: A Conversation With Gore Vidal on the E Word]
Now it’s back in the open again. And Trump and Rubio are saying it out loud.
“This is the path that President Trump and the United States has embarked upon,” Rubio told his Munich audience. “It is the path we ask you here in Europe to join us on. It is a path we have walked together before and hope to walk together again.”
Let’s us revive Western colonialism together. Let us return to its heyday that lasted from the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and English expansion, through the 1880’s Scramble for Africa, until the 1940s.
“For five centuries, before the end of the Second World War, the West had been expanding – its missionaries, its pilgrims, its soldiers, its explorers pouring out from its shores to cross oceans, settle new continents, build vast empires extending out across the globe,” Rubio said proudly.
Ruin then befell the West when the colonial powers warred against each other. This was followed by godless demands for sovereignty from the colonized.
“But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, [the territorial expansion] was contracting. Europe was in ruins. Half of it lived behind an Iron Curtain and the rest looked like it would soon follow. The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated by godless communist revolutions and by anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years to come.”
Rubio lamented that,
“Against that backdrop, then, as now, many came to believe that the West’s age of dominance had come to an end and that our future was destined to be a faint and feeble echo of our past.
But together, our predecessors recognized that decline was a choice, and it was a choice they refused to make. This is what we did together once before, and this is what President Trump and the United States want to do again now, together with you.”
There can be no more explicit example of the reinvigoration of colonialism than the ongoing U.S. and European support for Israel’s colonial genocide in Palestine. It is colonialism rooted in the pre-war era, dripping in lies about Israel’s right to defend itself, not against its rebellious, anti-colonial subjects, but against anti-semites in Palestine and around the world.
Here is the Rubio Doctrine proclaimed: the supremacist West is back. Europe must join America in its revival. Left unsaid was persisting in Project Ukraine to strategically defeat Russia.
“This is why we do not want our allies to be weak, because that makes us weaker. We want allies who can defend themselves so that no adversary [Russia, China, the BRICS] will ever be tempted to test our collective strength,” Rubio said. And anti-colonial accusations will not be tolerated.
“This is why we do not want our allies to be shackled by guilt and shame. We want allies who are proud of their culture and of their heritage, who understand that we are heirs to the same great and noble civilization, and who, together with us, are willing and able to defend it.
And this is why we do not want allies to rationalize the broken status quo rather than reckon with what is necessary to fix it, for we in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West’s managed decline. We do not seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship and renew the greatest civilization in human history.”
Fear is to be conquered on the road back to colonial greatness.
“The alliance that we want is one that is not paralyzed into inaction by fear – fear of climate change, fear of war, fear of technology. Instead, we want an alliance that boldly races into the future. And the only fear we have is the fear of the shame of not leaving our nations prouder, stronger, and wealthier for our children.”
Ignore your suffering populations and overcome your guilt. Rubio said the U.S. wants an alliance “ready to defend our people, to safeguard our interests, and to preserve the freedom of action that allows us to shape our own destiny – not one that exists to operate a global welfare state and atone for the purported sins of past generations.”
He is talking about ambitious elites pursuing their self-interest with no regard for the immense human suffering they causes on their way to success.
Western elites stand above the peoples of non-West nations, whom Rhodes called “the most despicable specimens of human beings.” A reinvigorated U.S. and Europe will not “maintain the polite pretense that our way of life is just one among many and that asks for permission before it acts,” said Rubio.
Underscoring the point further, he said,
“What we have inherited together is something that is unique and distinctive and irreplaceable, because this, after all, is the very foundation of the transatlantic bond. Acting together in this way, we will not just help recover a sane foreign policy. It will restore to us a clearer sense of ourselves. It will restore a place in the world, and in so doing, it will rebuke and deter the forces of civilizational erasure that today menace both America and Europe alike.”
Leaving no doubt what he meant, Rubio concluded:
“I am here today to leave it clear that America is charting the path for a new century of prosperity, and that once again we want to do it together with you, our cherished allies and our oldest friends. (Applause.)
We want to do it together with you, with a Europe that is proud of its heritage and of its history; with a Europe that has the spirit of creation of liberty that sent ships out into uncharted seas and birthed our civilization; with a Europe that has the means to defend itself and the will to survive.
We should be proud of what we achieved together in the last century, but now we must confront and embrace the opportunities of a new one – because yesterday is over, the future is inevitable, and our destiny together awaits. Thank you.”
The assembled mostly European officials in the audience rose to their feet in sustained applause. Anyone who thinks the revival of the colonial mindset is just an American phenomenon would be sadly mistaken by this response.
Cecil Rhodes’ spirit is revived. But it is a very different world than his. One can only see frightening amounts of bloodshed ahead if American and European leaders act on Rubio’s vision.

La teleología de la historia de humanidad es clara: colonialismo debe ceder su momento a favor de una nueva época de colaboración mundial. Todos juntos mueven hacía una justicia y paz mundial. Los MAGAs como Rubio viven en negación de realidad y lo inevitable.
For what it’s ‘worth’, An AI synopsis of the devil in the current details:
A negative externality occurs when an economic activity imposes unintended costs on a third party not involved in the transaction, leading to market failure. Examples include industrial pollution affecting local health, traffic congestion, and secondhand smoke. These costs cause social costs to exceed private costs.
When did direct social costs first become factors equated with private costs in the capitalist exchange system, and by whom?
Direct social costs first became formally equated with private costs in economic theory during the early 20th century, specifically through the work of Arthur Cecil Pigou in The Economics of Welfare (1920), which introduced the concept of internalizing external costs (externalities) through government intervention. However, the critique that social costs are inherently shifted to society in capitalist exchange was most extensively developed by K. William Kapp in his seminal 1950 work, The Social Costs of Private Enterprise.

Here is a breakdown of how the key figures fit into this:
The Historical Development
• Arthur Cecil Pigou (1920): Pigou is generally credited with creating the framework for equating private and social costs by identifying “externalities” as a market failure. He proposed that governments should intervene with taxes (Pigouvian taxes) to make producers pay for the social damage (social costs) they cause.
• K. William Kapp (1950): Kapp provided a more radical critique than Pigou. In The Social Costs of Private Enterprise, he argued that social costs are not just “market failures” or exceptions, but a systemic and inevitable result of capitalism’s drive to maximize profits by shifting costs to the public.
• Ronald Coase (1960): Challenged the conventional approach by arguing in “The Problem of Social Cost” that, with low transaction costs, private negotiation can resolve external costs without state intervention.
International Monetary Fund | IMF +4
Where the Requested Figures Fit
The economists mentioned (Wolff, Varoufakis, Sachs, and Michael Hudson) generally align with the Kappian/Heterodox perspective, arguing that capitalism inherently creates social costs that require structural, political, or state intervention to resolve.
• Michael Hudson: Fits as a modern, radical critic of rentier capitalism, focusing on how the financial sector and corporations socialize their losses (costs) while privatizing profits. Hudson emphasizes that the “free market” often allows finance and monopoly rent to overload the economy, consistent with Kapp’s view of capitalism as a system of cost-shifting.
• Richard Wolff: As a Marxist economist, Wolff fits into this by emphasizing how capitalist firms minimize private costs to maximize profit (surplus value) by shifting costs to workers, communities, and the environment. He argues that this “unpaid” social cost is a fundamental feature of the capitalist system, consistent with Kapp’s, and by extension, a critical view of market externalities.
• Yanis Varoufakis: Varoufakis frequently argues that market mechanisms cannot solve the issue of social costs, particularly in the financial sector. He highlights how the 2008 financial crisis saw the “socialization of costs” (losses) while profits remained private, emphasizing that “apolitical money” does not exist and that market exchange often masks deep social and political power imbalances that distribute costs unfairly.
• Jeffrey Sachs: As a development economist focusing on sustainability, Sachs fits into this context by arguing for the internalization of environmental social costs. He promotes public policy and international cooperation (e.g., the Sustainable Development Goals) to address the externalities of economic growth, such as climate change and poverty, aligning with the need for deliberate, large-scale planning to account for social costs that market prices ignore.

In summary, Pigou proposed the theoretical framework (1920), Kapp documented it as a systemic feature of capitalism (1950), and Wolff, Varoufakis, and Sachs approach the issue from a modern, critical perspective that views the “internalization” of these costs as a necessary, yet often resisted, political and economic challenge.
Nothing good comes from Munich.
Another world war is on the drawing board and has received a standing ovation.
If the Europeans ignore both the symbolism and direct threats which Rubio’s address displays, then their stupidity means we can dismiss the Enlightenment ideas about human beings charting their own courses through this world.
According to authors Gerry Docherty and Jim McGregor, Rhodes was the founder of an organisation set up for the purpose of promoting war with Germany.
The German economy was expanding and its economic power was thus of great concern to Rhodes and his allies. It threatened to overtake Britain as an economic power. Ruining Germany in a war would prevent that threat.
(Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World War).
Mr. Rhodes must be applauding, glad to see those scholarships he funded are still effective. The Ivy Ds and Oxbridge Labour have converted their parties to economic neolib, doing their best to make the world safe for multinational corporate capitalism. Plus becoming neocon; their fantasy a unipolar world, de facto empire backed up by military might. We, the majority working class, are little more than economic cannon fodder and our kids serve as actual cannon fodder. Ironically, military bases are the most well integrated of all U.S. institutions.
Despite the disadvantage of names ending in vowels, Rubio has done all he can to convince us he really is a superior white man. So of course he’s a proud purveyor of the best, of English speaking supremacy. The Five Eyes, aglow with Anglophoney certainty, watch over a world they believe theirs from 24/365 panopticons–bases world-wide, myriad satellites, and easily monitored so-called smart devices everywhere.
“America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on Earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world. From this moment on, America’s decline is over”.
Apart from the hubris and notion of entitlement [reminds you of a small ME state, perhaps?], America fails on all counts. It is worth noting that the statement does acknowledge the decline.
The reality is that it is widely loathed, despised, and disrespected, even by its so-called allies [vassals] – the only awe is from those who are shocked by the hubris, and the only admiration is from those Americans claiming this state as they look in the mirror!
The claim to being the most powerful is the only one worth taking seriously, although its lead over the competition from Russia & China is rapidly narrowing. The coming Iranian conflict is likely to reveal its weaknesses even more.
Rubio seems to have adopted his boss’s fondness for grandstanding and posturing, and does so much more coherently. But these days, few are impressed by such rhetoric, recognising it for what it is. Most aren’t buying it.
This is what one would expect of an empire in decline, desperately trying to act as if it were just as strong and capable as before, and fit & ready to expand rather than contract.
But the more they trumpet their strength and superiority, the thinner and more hollow it all sounds.
And just think, the best and brightest every year receive a scholarship to Oxford in Rhodes’ name.
… and then they’ll boast about it; include it in their CVs, right-wing and ‘progressive’ alike.
They are lauded in the MSM as being exceptional; all the while no mention that the scholarship is funded with the labor of African slaves.
The new leader of the federal opposition party in Australia being one of the latest examples of this class of exceptionalists.
Excellent, very insightful comment!
Stay strong!
It goes without saying that these jerks aren’t in the least bit concerned about climate change. It is a small consolation to know that if nothing else wipes them and their so-called “civilization” off the map, that eventually will.
Thank You Joe
“We are bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common civilization to which we have fallen heir.” I am not sure I have heard so much bullshit before when we honestly review the records of the western world towards others. If the truth ever gets out, Americans will know some things they never knew before, and damn right they might rebel for their own cause and not the cause of capitalism, imperialism, colonialism which capitalism supports. I wishI could educate my fellow Americans on a truth they do not want to see.
None of this would’ve been necessary If recent governments in Europe and in the United States had allowed sustainable selective migration rather than mass uncontrolled immigration. This is the reason for the decline
No sir, the decline is built on imperialism and colonialism and countries finally refusing dominance from a country that only takes their resources and does not allow them to help their own people who private interests care nothing about.
Bullshit, humans have always been migrating
What an amazingly thought-provoking screed.
The connotative aspects though far outweigh what it denotatively is identifying.
It imposes today’s narrative on what Rhodes was experiencing in that age in Africa.
And I am no fan of Rubio’s but to be fair to him, his political narrative strikes all the usual blather about future potential under certain tutelage. That’s why both Europe and USA money/power respond strongly to the narrative.
One thing is clear, and the USA is at least to some degree an example of that, economic and education capability at least has brought about great change and capability since Rhodes time.
And A.I. general availability may bring even more rapid positive change. And of course there are many variable today making clear the sustainability of what has been achieved in the last 150 years itself is crumbling.
Fascinating that Mister Rhodes’ open declaration of Imperialism begins with a blatantly racist statement.
Of course, in America, we’ve been trained to only see ‘racism’ when people of darker skin are oppressed by people of lighter skin. Thus, this is taken as a statement of “imperialism” instead of its obvious intent to declare the mixed-breed people from the islands that were conquered by the Vikings and the French to be some sort of Master Race.
The statement “I contend that we are the finest race in the world” says that quite clearly. Yet today, we’ve become so obsessed with “White People”, it is apparently not heard when he declares his island of half-breeds to be the Master Race. Today, the same Master Race is driving Europe (and the Democrats) to a racist war against the people who are hated just because they are Russians.
Wondering if all the other Cuban Americans in Florida would prefer an independent Cuba, or Cuba as an American colony?
Wow. Intelligence has a color! What? Rubio is a lesson in (un)consciousness. His projection of the enormous shadow he carries locked within himself onto others in defensive efforts to escape his fate. “If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you,
if you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do no bring forth will destroy you.”(Gospel of Thomas). “Bringing forth” – is the process of gaining consciousness that allows us to become uniquely who we are as distinct from parents and the lives they never lived. Is Rubio living the unlived life of his career bartender father? Instead of what and who he really is?Colonialism is to be possessed by power. To be possessed – like any addiction – is to allow the gods to run you. The level of unconsciousness of those running the country seems to have no boundaries. The Id is having a field day.
The West is in total denial of the reasons for its downward spiral. The populations on the receiving end of our foreign policy are done with living under the brutal conditions we have imposed on them. I believe the estimated number of people killed by the US post WW2 is between 20 and 30 million. That’s a holocaust. And vacuous little Marco thinks that’s just great.
Unity among Europeans and Americas, and across the West, is of course an ahistorical fantasy. Absence of a common culture, and violently clashing avaricious imperatives, pocked the historical map of Europe and Britain for centuries. But Marco Rubio (or his speechwriter) cares little about past or present realities that might complicate an imminently expiring narrative God-given Western supremacy. The United States is now like an aging beauty queen or prize fighter dreaming of a comeback. An inexorable economic shift Eastward, buttressed by strengthening non-Western alliances and a behemoth called China, don’t bode well for reanimation of Cecil Rhodes corpse. But unlike previous Empires the current one holds the world hostage with a technological capacity to reduce most Earthly life to ashes. The desperation of a moribund power has never been more dangerous.
If this is Mrs. (Neil, philanthropist) Gagnon speaking for the West’s total denial of the reasons for its downward spiral, then apologies are in order!
The total number of fatalities during WWII are estimated to be between 70 million and 85 million souls.
Now that’s a holocaust; chasing the same greed, once again by the same supposedly “civilized” people, in pursuit of the same ends.
When all the elites, in their Ivory Towers are brought to ground, perhaps progress will finally begin for us all; hopefully before it is too late.
“Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will”: Antonio Gramsci
Not the same Mrs. Gagnon although I came across the name of the one you reference once in a search of my name. This one is a radical anti-imperialist to her bones.
I read Mr Rubio’s speech. He was calling for the master Christian race to subjugate the world, the USA and Europe standing shoulder to shoulder in battle. This in defence of their unjustly threatened superior way of life.
