    Lol definitely not, Hitler was one of the western allies’ best customers of raw materials. In fact, US bomber pilots were specifically instructed not to hit certain factories in Germany that had business ties with US capitalists. Conscientiousness is not something I would ever expect from the people who would go on to do the Korean genocide ten years later.

    But what I’m getting from this definition is that any military action across a national border for any reason other than, i guess, pure moral altruistim, is imperialism. Is that the conclusion you mean to build to?

        Just straight up admitting you’ve defined imperialism so broadly as to be meaningless

        Yeah I agree. So does that make all military conflict that crosses a national border imperialism or does it not?

          I don’t “want to built to” any conclusion. I gave one definition. And your conclusion, according to that definition is correct.

            It’s “anarchists” like you why people call it anarkiddies. Read theory then you won’t sound as stupid as you do in this thread
