That's where it gets a bit confusing. There were really two British Empires, the first was in North America and we largely lost that with American Independence (although we did hold onto the Caribbean because of the Sugar). That grew up around the same time as the Spanish, maybe displaced by around 50 years. We subsequently used the profits from that to found the Second Empire, which was centred on India and later Africa.
Of course there's a fair bit of overlap between them, but historically it's quite beneficial to distinguish them. With some notable exceptions (the Tasmanians being one, although that was more of an 'on the ground' act than imperial policy) the second was relatively benign. If you're a SJW/Leftie type it's easy enough to pick holes in the imperial project, but there is two sides to the balance sheet and more than usual in the positive column.
It's old now, but if you'd like to read a well written narrative account of empire 'Pax Britannica' by Jan Morris is something of a page turner - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heavens-Command-Pax-Britannica-1/dp/0571290698/
As to the Spanish. The Spanish use of slave labour for mining silver was easily as bad as the British use of slaves for growing sugar.
Cultural Marxism is not an invention of the paranoid right. It's a school of thought developed by left-wing Marxists and named by them as such because it describes the application of their own theory to culture rather than economics. Whether you agree with the movement or disagree with the movement, saying that it's not a movement, or that William Lind created a fictitious movement in 1998, is absurd. You are either misinformed or lying. Below is a list of sources drawn exclusively from professors and scholars practicing cultural Marxism in which they use the term to describe the Frankfurt- and Birmingham-descended schools of thought.
The essay "Cultural Marxism and Cultural Studies," by UCLA Professor Douglas Kellner, says " 20th century Marxian theorists ranging from Georg Lukacs, Antonio Gramsci, Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, and T.W. Adorno to Fredric Jameson and Terry Eagleton employed the Marxian theory to analyze cultural forms in relation to their production, their imbrications with society and history, and their impact and influences on audiences and social life... There are, however, many traditions and models of cultural studies, ranging from neo-Marxist models developed by Lukàcs, Gramsci, Bloch, and the Frankfurt school in the 1930s to feminist and psychoanalytic cultural studies to semiotic and post-structuralist perspectives (see Durham and Kellner 2001)." The essay is available here: http://pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/kellner/essays/culturalmarxism.pdf
-Note that Professor Kellner is a progressive professor, an expert in Herbert Marcuse, and critic of the culture of masculinity for school shootings.

During the great Chinese famine, China did the opposite of this. They would send farmers to dig canals and trenches, or to go work in steel mills, resulting in a loss of food production.
This will not have a positive effect. Sending people that have no knowledge of farming to work farms will be minimally efficient. While also reducing the efficiency of the industries that these people already have a specific skill set for. Even if the government instructs people on how to work the farms, odds are the government will not give correct instructions. And once again I refer back to the Great Chinese famine, where the government created the inefficiencies.
This is what happened in China, "ohh you have this crop growing food, well this isn't the crop we wanted. Plow the field again and plant this instead." Then they act surprised when no food grows.
See this book, Tombstone: The Great Chinese Famine, 1958-1962
It could be a cunning ploy to get Sargon's attention, that devious fox.
Although in seriousness, Sargs often will use an article as a counterpoint to something he has indentified in TWIS, so perhaps it makes more sense when looking through such a lens
>That's how Hitler started, he pulled in the youth to miseducate them, to brainwash them, it's happening today.
That's a very good point that is often overlooked. The narrative today appears to be that Hitler duped that great unwashed masses into following his cause, when there were plenty of 'intellectuals' running alongside Hitler ensuring that all levels of society followed suit. There were many 'revolutionary' ideas running rampant in Universities in the 20s, with their advocates expressing the same fanatical zeal for them as anyone in the USSR.
I'd recommend anyone, including Sargs, to sink their teeth into Michael Burleigh's The Third Reich: A New History which touches upon many aspects of Nazi Germany that have often been overlooked, including attempts to Nazify religion (that's right folks, Jesus isn't a Jew anymore, but instead a glorious Aryan)
Here's a great book by an academic in the process of abandoning social justice in favour of science:

That's not really true. For instance, the field of evolutionary psychology has documented how homicide can benefit an individual organism in certain contexts, thus that predisposition can develop in some people.

The same would be true of aggression. Now the reason that blacks have more of these genetic predispositions is an interesting question that should be researched more.
