    Ok where in that does it say an invasion for territory is not imperialist, in fact I’m pretty fucking sure Marx talked specifically about imperialist invasion at length.

    the policy, practice, or advocacy of extending the power and dominion of a nation especially by direct territorial acquisitions or by gaining indirect control over the political or economic life of other areas

    It’s the literal definition of imperialist you absolute bell end.

      Imagine being so dumb that you think a war is synonymous with imperialism. The war is a result of Russia responding to NATO expansion rather than Russia trying to extend its dominion. The fact that this is a proxy war has been admitted by no lesser person than the US Secretary of State. You are like a living definition of Dunning-Kruger effect.

        Ukraine asked to join NATO and they have every right to. Russia invading to prevent the sovereign act of a free nation is by definition imperialist you fuckin moron. Find a definition anywhere that implies an invasion for territory isn’t imperialist.

          The west literally overthrew the legitimate and democratically elected government in Ukraine to install a fascist regime. Only an utter imbecile would call Ukraine sovereign. Even Rubio openly admits that it’s just a proxy the west is using to bleed Russia. And useful idiots such as yourself facilitate this.

        Imagine thinking that’s what I said when those words were never said dipshit. An invasion to gain territory is by definition imperialist.
