I feel like this has been a concept for a long time within imperialist studies, but I can’t find it. Surely it’s a thing. What would you call it?

EDIT: thanks for all the brilliant responses

    End of history retoric probably. Although the cracks in imperialism are much more obvious than those of capitalism. Additionally, most victims of imperialism know of a pre-imperialist past and imperialism ingrains itself into culture less than capitalism so it’s a harder phenomenon to observe.
