    “I’m against the US imperialism.”

    “So you are against imperialism?”

    “No, it’s just another kind of imperialism.”

        True, it’s not their fault that they inherited an empire. Liberating Siberia would be nonsensical after the revolution which was a liberation. An independent Siberia (or several independent Siberian states) would be less free since all states are evil so why not keep the worst one.

    Also neo colonialism. I’m from El Salvador, the u.s and Russia used us like proxies, destroyed our country, turned our people against each other. And once the dust settled and the country was a wreck, the u.s sent in their corporations to rebuild it, so now they own it. They’ll never admit it, but it’s a neo colony now, which uses American currency and does everything America wants

      I hope that your country is able to decolonialize as soon as possible. The super exploitation in the global periphery needs to stop.

            Uh huh.

            And if, as a random example, Britain and France took their thumbs out of their asses and declared war over the demilitarization of the Rhineland?

            Or the illegitimate annexation of Austria.

            Or just told Hitler they would declare war over the Sudentenland

            Or the liberal nations actually defended democracy and intervened against the fascists in Spain.

            Or or or

            Imperialism is a nation deliberately exerting influence on others, and it can be justified.

            Like most everything, it just depends on circumstances.

              They did intervene in Spain… to help the fascists. The US pressured Mexico to stop sending arms to Spanish anarchists, and Britain pressured France to stop sending arms to Spanish anarchists. Just liberals living up to their ideology, of course.

                Oh, look… a free-market cultist is pretending that capitalism isn’t one of the most extreme ideologies ever invented.

                Yawn.

      I’m not your average Marxist and that doesn’t describe any conflict that comes to mind.

      Isn’t a revolution something that isn’t brought by an outer invading force, but by the people of a country?

      A revolution would be Country D invading its own ruling class, no? You’re just describing imperialism twice.
