That is the reason billions of people no longer live in poverty. American imperialism via capitalism has raised the standard of living for billions. European imperialism was racist and people like me were considered subhuman savages. USA had a history of slavery. Guess what? Most of the world did. The USA killed each other to end slavery, and today this country has elected a person from a group it once oppressed to the highest position. Our VP is a POC woman. To me that’s progress and a sign that things will only get better esp for POC like me. So you can want billions of people to live in poverty or under the rule of some huffed up king? You’re always going to have imperialism as long as humans exist. How you do it and the reason why is important. Promoting global trade and in the process bringing peace and elevating people out of poverty is a better and ideal form of imperialism. In a hundred years all these capitalist countries will reach the same or better standard of living as the USA. Communists/planned economies and some dipshit king who thinks God is taking to him are not going to bring peace nor improve the human condition. As long as bad actors exist in the world, America needs to be the dominant player. Also ask yourself this simple question: where do most immigrants want to go? Why do you think that is?
