I never said imperialist bourgie dictatorships are going to suddenly stop doing imperialism on their own whim. I said that it is the duty of communists within imperialist nations to work towards destroying their own empire before all else. They need to be a fifth column and internal division, focused on annihilation of their own bourgeois state above all other concerns. The reason imperialism was so potent throughout the 20th century was because socialists within imperialist nations were social chauvinists and refused to do what was necessary. They formed the anarcho-Trotskyist-hippy anti-communist left and contented themselves with moral purity tests, attacking socialism, feeding into the red scare and fence sitting. This was all under the backdrop of unions being decimated by neoliberals, all radical movements being snuffed out, communism in the west being crushed. That mistake must not be repeated
