Was just reading an article about this. It's behind a paywall and in German, but this snippet is particularly interesting: >>The "Global South" concept is also booming because anti-Western self-criticism is an important ally for the West's political opponents. The ultra-nationalist Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin uses the image of decolonization, as do Hindu nationalists, Chinese power politicians and Iranian mullahs. All over the globe, post-colonial concepts of identity are being activated to legitimize authoritarian, reactionary and ethno-nationalist policies.<< https://www.welt.de/debatte/kommentare/plus254481400/Postkolonialismus-Die-Selbstkritik-des-Westens-spielt-seinen-Gegnern-in-die-Haende.html
