    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.

        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.
