Neither China nor Russia are imperialist nations
yeah, and ice cream is hot
but seriously:
China and Russia both try to expand their countries by obsorbing smaller nations, which is imperialist in my book
By this definition the US would no longer be imperialist, so incorrect, also china is most certainly not doing that?
they do the same thing just in an abstract way, instead of taking land directly, they take influence through war
You gotta get a materialist worldview comrade, read some Lenin rather than posing a definition and immediately conceding
Why is that abstract, but redrawing borders on a map isn't?
I said MORE abstract
You said
You didn't say "more abstract".
And even if you did, that still doesn't answer the question.
You didn't give any example of these "abstract ways" either.
so what is the country that fights these abstract influences from the US? ain't ukraine an US proxy explicitly since 2014?
