Postcolonialism

Not the Same as Decoloniality

I should note that I am not a postcolonialist. Unlike postcolonialism (Ᵽ↻™), I use decoloniality as a methodology in my Post–Civilization–Mutual Aid–Localism–Maoism–Third Worldism™ (Ꭾⵞത𐌀𐌋𐒄ՇƜ™) aka Post–Civ MTW™ (ꛠ𖥕ꚸ𖢧𖢊ꛕꚹꚴꛔ𖦚ꛃ™).

The reason is simple: Postcolonialism, which was arguably founded by Edward Wadie Said (Arabic, إِدْوَارْد وَدِيع سَعِيد [MP3], ⫰Ɪd°wār°d Wadīʿ Saʿīd), is strongly influenced by the philosophy of poststructuralism (Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, et al.) and the cultural studies framework of postmodernism (Jean–François Lyotard et al.).

Bhaskarian critical realism (ᙖᙍⴽ™), in each of Roy Bhaskar’s four turns, is incompatible with both poststructuralism and postmodernism. That is not to say, however, aspects of each cannot be meticulously salvaged.
