I was under the impression it was the intersection of the venn diagram of communists and imperialists, as long as imperialist means imperialist (defined as using economic, military, diplomatic and cultural power to influence countries around you in a way that is beneficial to you, and may be either beneficial, inconsequential or detrimental to them) and not just "western and capitalist"

That's generally a disagreement over what "Imperialism" even means. "Anti-Imperialists" are talking about Lenin's identification of modern Monopoly Capitalism as it brutally expropriates wealth from the Global South through outsourcing and debt traps with the IMF, like Coke and the Columbian death squads.

What an amazing definition. Hand crafted to be as all encompassing as possible so you can label anyone as an imperialist.
