    Ahahahah no no, the Soviet invading Berlin isn’t imperialism for me. Oppressing neighbors is though, like Tibet to make a classic example.

      By your definition, it was, though. The PLA liberating Tibet from a slave-driven feudalism isn’t Imperialism either, especially considering the PRC doesn’t underdevelop Tibet and use it as a hub of extraction.

        The world doesn’t depend on MY definitions, luckily.

        Also that is still imperialism, no matter how hard you try to come up with a definition that can fit your narrative. Sorry.
