Imperialism is
1) stagnation of economics due to heterogenous effects of colonialism
2) the control of foreign nations through the bourgeoisie

im not reading a fuck ton of books just to have a word defined @Deleted User

@🌼Kalina🌹🌸🌹Zay🌹🌸🌹Scott🌼 USSR did that lol

```If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism. Such a definition would include what is most important, for, on the one hand, finance capital is the bank capital of a few very big monopolist banks, merged with the capital of the monopolist associations of industrialists; and, on the other hand, the division of the world is the transition from a colonial policy which has extended without hindrance to territories unseized by any capitalist power, to a colonial policy of monopolist possession of the territory of the world, which has been completely divided up.```

USSR had no bourgeoisie

it liqudated the bourgoeisie

you watermelon

that's actually bullshit

@Deleted User Everything you say is so tryhard and armchair intellectual, bro. I know you're a twink IRL.

it had a class

Imperialism is the stage of capitalism where monopolies form and control all the resources and means of production worldwide and uses brutal force to maintain their control

Trying to compensate for being bullied in high school.

@Mitch Class wafare doesn't end when you liquidate the bourgeoisie

I was the bully.

marx literally said that

Stalin noted it

smh

define bourgeoisie

the reactionary culture still exists to produce class wafare

Let’s liquidate the communists

if i remember correctly it was the higher class in society

and the USSR had that

bourgeoisie are the people who control the means of production

I love cultural Marxism but normal Marxism can BTFO

@Mitch just one book 100 pages long called Imperialism, it's the best way to understand it since he defined it

@Mitch that's only really post stalin with the drive to revisionism

@Meta You wish I were a twink because you love nothing more than the thought of another man laying more than just an intellectual smackdown on your rear-end.

under stalin there wasn't a 'bourgeoisie'

omg

there wasn't a 'social burecracy'

it started with Khrushchev and really became a thing around Gorbachev

@Deleted User Ahahahahaha you proved my point exactly. Describing yourself as "intellectual". I see major compensation for your betaness.

Do more deadlifts.

the USSR was the only that spearheaded the anti-imperialist movement smh

so after Stalin the ussr practiced imperialism or no?

No

it did not
