An institution focused on chronicling the immense, ongoing human and cultural cost of European and American colonial projects from the 15th century to modern neo-colonialism. Its scope encompasses genocide, slavery, famines engineered by resource extraction, cultural erasure, and the drawing of arbitrary borders causing perpetual conflict. It aims to center the narratives of the colonized, challenging the sanitized, "civilizing mission" history still prevalent in Western education.
Victims of Western Colonialism Memorial Foundation Example: This foundation's flagship project could be a global digital map of resource curses, showing how a village in the Congo devastated by coltan mining for smartphones, a neighborhood in Puerto Rico bankrupted by debt colonialism, and a community in the Niger Delta poisoned by oil spills are all linked as Victims of Western Colonialism across time and space.

A sister organization to the Colonialism foundation, with a sharper focus on 20th and 21st-century military, economic, and political domination by Western powers (primarily the US and its allies). It memorializes those killed in proxy wars, drone strikes, and coups; societies destabilized by structural adjustment programs; and democracies subverted by intelligence agencies to install puppet regimes friendly to Western corporate interests.
Victims of Western Imperialism Memorial Foundation Example: The foundation might publish an annual "Body Count" report, tallying casualties from interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Yemen, while also quantifying the Victims of Western Imperialism through metrics like lifelong refugees created, children malnourished due to sanctions, and democratically-elected leaders overthrown.

An institution that inverts the typical Western memorialization of communism's victims. It documents those killed, persecuted, or whose progressive social projects were destroyed by anti-communist violence: victims of US-backed right-wing dictatorships in Latin America and Asia, victims of the Red Scares and blacklisting, and casualties of wars (like in Korea and Vietnam) framed as necessary to "contain" communism. It argues anti-communism has been a more prolific and less-accounted-for killer.
Victims of Anti-communism Memorial Foundation Example: The foundation's archive would highlight figures like Salvador Allende of Chile or Patrice Lumumba of the Congo, not as failed leaders, but as primary Victims of Anti-communism, assassinated with Western complicity to crush socialist experiments, with the subsequent dictatorships producing millions more victims in their wake.
