    By what metric? What are you talking about? You’re using a definition of Imperialism that not even liberals use, so when we say “China isn’t Imperialist” and you claim it is by using metrics you invent, we are talking past each other, not to each other.

            You don’t seem to care about consistency or established analysis either, you just jump to whatever is contrarion. You didn’t actually engage with the Marxist critique of Imperialism, you just handwave it away. What are you trying to do?

              I mean, I’m the only one here who tried to analyze the survey posted, while you all are just like “See? Numbers! Good numbers”

                You gave suggestions for improvement then said as it stands it isn’t relevant at all, which I would say goes far too far. It’s useful, and accurate. I don’t know why you’re trying to play semantical games and try to snarkily avoid discussing Socialist theory on a Socialist comm.

                    You played semantical games with Imperialism and Socialism. Your claims about the data having “literally no validity” weren’t semantics, they were just wrong, the data itself is good even if we can get more data elsewhere.
