What do you specifically mean? I just said Imperialism defeats itself, and people in the Global South can act against it by protecting their own production and resources.
They do. Supporting movements in the Global South against Imperialism by the Global North. Looking at the nature of Imperialism dialectically, it appears to be deteriorating as exploitation increases, so these movements are gaining momentum. This is what I mean when I say Imperialism defeats itself, as exploitation increases (as it must to counter the Tendency for the Rate of Profit to Fall), it also increases pressure against itself from those it exploits.

We’re not communicating. That’s not a “solution” as I understand it.
Why not?
For the same reason that it’s not a carpet as I understand it.
Why is a solution not a solution?
You’re not being rational.
I have been entirely rational. I explained in shorthand, and linked longer texts, and you are intentionally playing coy.
If imperialism defeats itself why is it still around?
I’m specifically referring to Capitalism as it turns to Imperialism, also known as Unequal Exchange. A
I don’t follow. You haven’t answered my question.
Capitalist Imperialism has been around for about 2 centuries.
You haven’t answered my question.
I have. What’s unanswered?
I disagree.
Why imperialism is still around (if it defeats itself).
Processes take time. Trajectories matter.
