Imperialism isnt something a country can "engage" in. This is the same crap idea that leads to "because russia invaded a country its imperialist". If it was that easy, why would any country subject to imperialist domination? Why dont Venezuela engage in imperialism back against the USA?

Because not everyone is a piece of shit? And not every piece of shit has the military might to do so.

What a pathetic counter-argument.

“Muh Lenin!!!2one Putin had to invade Ukraine and try to genocide the people because the CIA! It’s their right to invade other people’s and enforce their will on them! It’s only imperialism if it comes from the core region, otherwise it’s sparkling praxis”

jesus fucking christ how can a group that bitches about people not reading enough theory be so fucking uneducated?

Imperialism is the maintaining and extending of power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism, employing both hard power (military and economic power) and soft power (diplomatic power and cultural imperialism). Imperialism focuses on establishing or maintaining hegemony and a more formal empire.

Umm... why not? Imperialism is projecting the power of a nation beyond its porders. Not every Country has the power to do so.

If it was that easy, why would any country subject to imperialist domination? Why dont Venezuela engage in imperialism back against the USA?

Are you fucking serious?

As so no imperialism exists then. No country has ever committed imperialism because you said so.
