Answer 3

"Imperialism" is the word that the petty-bourgeoisie chastises us the most for using. It is grating and unpleasant to the petty-bourgeoisie proud of its country.

Imperialism is the cause of contemporary militarism. It is impossible to understand communists today without understanding the interventions and national conflicts caused by imperialism.

Examples of imperialist countries are the united $tates, Japan, Germany, England, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Switzerland. We also include Russia and possibly China, though these last two have definitive majorities that are exploited, not exploiters.
