Anti-imperialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This theory of imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism is one of the foundations of Leninism, a branch of Marxism. Decades later, Vladimir Lenin argued that imperialism is "the highest stage of capitalism" - that imperialism represents capitalism on a global scale, as opposed to the capitalism on a national scale that had been practiced before. Postmodernists generally challenge the notion that imperialism is primarily economic and place a greater stress on cultural and social exploitation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anti-imperialism   (756 words)

Facts about topic: (Imperialism) Insofar as 'imperialism' might be used to refer to an intellectual position, it would imply the belief that the acquisition and maintenance of empires is a positive good, probably combined with an assumption of cultural or other such superiority inherent to imperial power. Imperialism thus consists not in the direct control of one country by another, but in the economic exploitation (The act of making some area of land or water more profitable or productive or useful) of one region by another, or by a group from another. The essential feature of the Marxist theories of imperialism, or related theories such as dependency theory (additional info and facts about dependency theory), is their exclusive focus on the economic (additional info and facts about economic) relation between countries, rather than the explicit political (additional info and facts about political) relationship. www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/i/im/imperialism.htm   (653 words)

Dissent Magazine - Winter 2005 Imperialism and blowback-that was pretty much all one needed to understand what had befallen the citizens of Manhattan, the passengers on the planes, and the workers at the Pentagon, and there were accordingly people content to describe the attack as a comeuppance. There is a space of political and moral particularity that the reference back to capitalism or imperialism, and the reference sideways to the United States of America, cannot displace. The United States-or imperialism-is therefore bad not merely in its direct embodiment, but indirectly as well, in the way it reappears within every noxious political reality across the globe. www.dissentmagazine.org /menutest/articles/wi05/geras.htm   (2592 words)

Against Anti-imperialism But the ultimate cause, beyond such immediate factors as the opposition of the workers movements to imperialism and the aid of the USSR to anti-imperialist movements, was the development of the world economy. Imperialism as the age of war and revolution, provided the justification for and strategy of the new communist international. At a recent Open Polemic conference I criticised a contribution on imperialism for being a collection of outdated platitudes, and marveled that not only did our ruling class live in the dream world of a now lost empire, but that these fantasies seemed to be shared by Marxists as well. reality.gn.apc.org /polemic/imper.htm   (1795 words)

Imperialism Said British imperialism was reactionary, anti-Canadian, and racist Imperialism does not support the ideals therefore is not worthy of war and actions associated with war.

Institute for Anarchist Studies - The New Anti-Imperialism Opposition to US imperialism has grown to such proportions since the start of the Iraq war that Noam Chomsky now describes world public opinion as "the second super-power." However, we are actually witnessing something much more exciting than the term "public opinion" suggests: the beginnings of an international anti-imperialist movement. After long detours through the history of imperialism, capitalism, and conceptual distinctions of varying relevance, Harvey comes to his main point: the war in Iraq is a super-structural expression of long-standing pressures in the economic base (stated in non-Marxist parlance: the economy is making states fight each other).

Archived Weblog Entry - 03/23/2003: "ANTI-IMPERIALISM: AS AMERICAN AS CHERRY PIE" Imperialism is a political system of domination concocted by elites. The term "imperialism" is characterized as some kind of personal insult, along with fascism or militarism. The imperial side of capitalism breaks down faster because the conquered people do not have the political rights to block the move from market captialism into fascist capitalism. maxspeak.org /gm/archives/00001020.html   (978 words)

Rise and Fall of the Anti-Vietnam War Movement in the U.S. The demonstration was small compared to the hundreds of thousands who would march later, and while there was some support for the anti-U.S. imperialism view, there was also significant hostility as well. The revisionists hid behind the pacifists, who were no threat to U.S. imperialism, while the clowns such as Abby Hoffman and Jerry Rubin made pro-drug, anti-working class comments that turned many workers and students away from the anti-war movement. Those mighty movements have not defeated imperialism in those countries, so it is no insult to say that the 1960's student movement in the U.S. was a less important factor in ending the Vietnam war. www.chss.montclair.edu /english/furr/Vietnam/riseandfall.html   (13787 words)

Monthly Review July-August 2003 William Fletcher, Jr. Key to the complicity of most of the white working class, and most significantly its organized fraction, with U.S. racism and imperialism was a combination of two essential factors: white racial privilege and the social bloc that it created, and the promise of improving living standards. Yet the racial and imperial nature of the social contract myth and the failure of organized labor to challenge it undermined the ability of workers to conceive of themselves as having any legitimate and independent progressive class interests. This imperial role, therefore, did not have solely a psychological impact on U.S. workers (and not just whites); it also had a positive material impact on the condition of the bulk of the U.S. working class and petty bourgeoisie. www.monthlyreview.org /0703fletcher.htm   (6551 words)

Anti-imperialism Playing the anti -imperialist card meant appealing to the "toiling masses" of Asia not to establish socialism but to carry out their own anti-imperialist revolutions. This was a dangerous diversion from the class struggle and led to workers supporting the killing in wars of other workers in the interest of one or other state and its ruling class. This was not a dispute which concerned the working class interest at all, but was an argument between states in which workers were being asked to choose whose foreign policy pawns they wished to be. www.worldsocialism.org /spgb/aug98/imperial.html   (1627 words)

1929: Anti-Imperialism There, Yankee imperialism, by resorting to armed intervention without the slightest hesitation, does provoke a patriotic reaction that could easily win a part of the bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie to an anti-imperialist perspective. It would be a serious mistake to claim that this social layer still has a sense of revolutionary nationalism, as in those places where it does represent a factor for anti-imperialist struggle in semi-colonial countries enslaved by imperialism, for example, in Asia in recent decades. But the national bourgeoisies, who see cooperation with imperialism as their best source of profits, feel themselves secure enough as mistresses of power not to be too greatly preoccupied with national sovereignty. www.marxists.org /archive/mariateg/works/1929-ai.htm   (2011 words)

In the second place, anti-imperialism is currently playing an important role in stopping imperialist country fascism--oppressor nation movements to nationalize Third World assets. Thus far, the work to explain the financial workings of imperialism are not as concrete as the farm under the peasants' nose.

The hollow nature of non-class anti-imperialism imperialism is forcing on the Iraqi and other peoples, such people lose faith in the ability of the working people to resist.

US Imperialism v. US Anti-Imperialism Because the US, with its mode of self-government—“a government of the people, by the people, for the people”— has embarked on a corrupt path of imperialism. He writes his satire, hoping to convince the US people to make the government alter its policy and thus prove that they know what responsible rule entails.

"The Lost Cause of Anti-imperialism in Africa" In countries like Burundi, Somalia, Liberia and DR Congo, tribal, ethnic and clan conflicts have made the anti-imperialist struggle obsolete, as armed gangs of clan and ethnic based militias continue to impose the rule of the gun on the defenseless citizens of the affected regions of these countries.   It is obvious that none of these armed gangs claim to get support from the imperialists and are unlikely to have any connection to the United States, Britain or any other imperial power. www.addistribune.com /Archives/2003/07/18-07-03/Lost.htm   (807 words)

Anti-Imperialism in the United States, 1898-1935 The League addressed issues of economic imperialism with increasing frequency during its last ten years and, by the 1920s, when the second generation of anti-imperialist organizations was formed, that was the primary focus of both scholars and activists concerned with the issue.

Modern History Sourcebook: American Anti-Imperialist League 1899 We hold that the policy known as imperialism is hostile to liberty and tends toward militarism, an evil from which it has been our glory to be free. Most Americans supported overseas expansion, but many of the nation's most illustrious citizens - including Andrew Carnegie and William James, were appa11ed by American imperialism. In 1899 they founded the American Anti­Imperialist League in order to campaign, unsuccessfully as it turned out, against the annexation of the Philippines. www.fordham.edu /halsall/mod/1899antiimp.html   (902 words)

Anti-imperialism of fools - "Anti-Zionism", antisemitism and Holocaust denial Because imperialism is based, among other things, on racism, genuine anti-imperialism has to be anti-racist to its marrow. It contained antisemitic illustrations and the text claimed that Judaism, Jewish bankers, Zionism, Israel and Western imperialism were engaged in an international conspiracy. Zionism is neither a conspiracy nor the invention of imperialism, nor inherently racist. www.klick-nach-rechts.de /gegen-rechts/2003/03/searchlight.htm   (3208 words)

American Imperialism and Anti-Imperialism a Century Ago A number of middle-class anti-imperialists actually shared racialist theories of Anglo-Saxon superiority that imperialists espoused: they "opposed acquisition of an empire because colonial intermarriages and immigration would compromise American racial purity" (Slotkin, 121). There is a current campaign demanding that the bells be returned to the Philippines-as a reminder to the people of the atrocities carried out by U.S. imperialism and the heroism of those who dared to resist. This ideology of dominance was reinvigorated in March 1947 as the Truman Doctrine, "an almost classic statement of the thesis that the security and well-being of the United States depended upon the successful execution of America's unique mission to defend and extend the frontier of democracy throughout the world" (Williams, "The Frontier," 101). webdoc.sub.gwdg.de /edoc/ia/eese/artic24/templar/2_2004.html   (7270 words)

The Old Cause by Joseph Stromberg It is interesting that Harry Elmer Barnes edited a series of books on US imperialism in the 1920s and ‘30s and that John T. Flynn had, as a young man, listened to the debates in Congress on Philippine annexation. I. Lenin called the Anti’s the "last of the Mohicans of bourgeois democracy" — which is true enough.

September 24 Anti-Imperialist Committee We need an anti-war movement that stands with the masses of people around the world while telling the masses the truth about the economic system of imperialism (monopoly capitalism) which is the source of one war after another. Seattle anti-imperialists cannot effectively develop and defend the anti-war movement against imperialism, opportunism and the wrecking influence of the Democratic Party without putting our heads together to plan and organize.

New Statesman - NS Essay - The anti-imperialism of fools This is the kind of conspiratorial anti- capitalist-speak that we might call globaldegook. Yet those who claim to oppose imperialism now propose even more intervention - a "foreign occupation" to stop Israel, in the words of one leading radical journalist. In effect, they end up echoing the call of Robert Cooper, Tony Blair's foreign policy adviser, for a new kind of imperialism - the same kind of "humanitarian" arrogance that recently prompted the British government to say it would send troops to India, although the Indian government did not want them. www.newstatesman.com /site.php3?newTemplate=NSArticle_NS&newDisplayURN=200206170018   (2523 words)
