Internal Colonialism
Internal colonialism can be described as the unequal impacts of economic advancement regionally due to the minority groups’ exploitation inside a wider community, which results in economic and also political inequalities among state regions. The theory looks at the way individuals produce their racial domination forms inside a society. For instance, the Chicano and Latinos were subjected to oppression’s forms that were forced on them by the Americans, which was the dominating group. Also, those that were colonized internalized the colonialism’s violence resulting in them committing violence against each other.
In the internal colonialism framework, heightened poverty levels and the lack of resources are seen as a structural issue. Deep inequality exists between races. For instance, due to the 1840s circumstances, numerous Chicanos and Latinos became residents, but not citizens, of a different administration and its frameworks. Internal colonialism describes how individuals got locked into particular jobs and also how the developed economy depended on an arranged subordinator’s system and subordinated. Also, urban and local individuals differed, and the values of men and women changed.
Coloniality of Power
The power’s coloniality is a theory that interrelates the European colonialism’s routines and legacies in social orders and also knowledge’s forms. It names the power, hegemony, and also control structures, which arose during the colonialism era, and stretches from the Americas’ conquest to date. The power’s coloniality comprises a matrix, which functions through dominance or hegemony overpower, labor, subjectivity, and also sexuality, which are in the form of capitalism, nuclear family, eurocentrism, and the nation-state. Eurocentrism represents white dominance, capitalist gain, and EuroAmerican self-universalization. Quijano, the introducer of the framework, comprehends that every power is structured in connection to dominance, exploitation, and dispute since social actors battle to gain control of sex, collective power and subjectivity, labor, and resources.
Liberalism
Liberalism is a framework that defines modern democracy and is illustrated by what is called Liberal Democracy, which describes countries that have free and just elections, laws, and safeguarding civil liberties. It has several main general facets, which are the belief in individual liberty and equality, support of individual rights and property, and the support of the concept of limited constitutional administration. Liberalism seeks to address issues of achieving continual peace and cooperation and the numerous techniques that may contribute to their accomplishment. For instance, liberalism was the prevailing political discussion in Latin America during the 19th century. Generally, the main aim of liberalism was to disperse power, promote diversity, and nurture creativity.
Marxism
Marxism is a framework that postulates that the struggle or fight between social classes describes economic relations within a capitalist economy, thus inevitably results in revolutionary communism. According to the Marxism framework, the power connections between capitalists and employees were innately exploitive thus could inevitably bring about the class dispute. In the historical procedure of the American constitution, every form of labor and production’s control and also exploitation revolved around the relationship between salary and capital and the global market. Such labor control forms involved slavery, production of petty commodities, ages, serfdom, and also reciprocity. Therefore, capitalism created an unjust imbalance between capitalists and employees. Employees’ work was exploited for selfish gain by capitalists. According to the Marxism framework, the capitalist structure innately contained those seeds that could destroy it since the alienation and also exploitation could eventually drive the workers to rebel against capitalists.
