      What? Ask someone in the third world, "would you like to be exploited a bit less or a bit more?" and I have a sneaking suspicion what answer they might give.

      This is the most privedged perspective imaginable.

      it just exports more of its suffering Was in his comment, and It matters quite a bit because if that were the case there would be a moral argument against social democracy. If that is not the case, why would we not want a fairer distribution of resources within a state?

      I also think it is reasonable to say that imperialism is inevitable at some point, but I think that internal pressure (ie anti-war movements) can have an effect on the ability of a state to carry out imperialism, which could have an effect on the ability of third world anti imperialist movements to fight back.
