It’s fun with this rhetoric, 'cause if you replace imperialism by capitalism, and country name with corporation name, we immediately see how confuse it is.
“You can’t say Shell is capitalist, it’s not the global leader in the Petrolum Market. BT is”
We are talking about system. The Federation of Russia engaged in a competition against NATO, which result in wars and economic predation for power and ressources.
The same logic apply for Iran and China, but not on the same scale. A state is structured with the current international relationship; it need to gather power to secure its existence. Exactly like a corporation. North Korea is weak example of imperialism, not because it would be “socialist”, but because it is losing the competition against other states.
That’s why strong workers organisations where independent from states and political parties. And that’s why we may mobilize first and mainly (but not only) against our one State imperialism, in order to not feeding this international competition.
And if you think that’s their is no colonial history in Russia, you may think again. The Eastern conquest had some similarity with the western one in the USA.
