I'm not asking for you to prove anything, i am asking for you to make a case that the US does not practise neocolonialism and/or that imperiallism is the modern day domination that takes the guise of neocolonialism. I really shouldn't have to spell out for you. I probably don't, it's probably the case that you cannot make such an argument because you know it to be wholly false.

Then make an argument as i asked for above. It is a debate forum. Are you incapable of debate ? I have shown you why i believe the US to be an empire, now you show me why you believe it not to be. That is how debate works.

If there ever was in the history of humanity an enemy who was truly universal, an enemy whose acts and moves trouble the entire world, threaten the entire world, attack the entire world in any way or another, that real and really universal enemy is precisely Yankee imperialism

They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?
