    By this definition the US would no longer be imperialist, so incorrect, also china is most certainly not doing that?

      they do the same thing just in an abstract way, instead of taking land directly, they take influence through war

        You gotta get a materialist worldview comrade, read some Lenin rather than posing a definition and immediately conceding

            You said

            You didn't say "more abstract".

            And even if you did, that still doesn't answer the question.

            You didn't give any example of these "abstract ways" either.
