Empires aka Sovereign Civilizational States against predatory Imperialism
An important conceptual nuance here, a true Empire not only can but is *essentially anti-imperialist by its very nature.
The real stuff, Empire aka Sovereign Civilizational State, by its mere existence, always exposes the fake ersatz or its imitation, imperialism.
So Vijay Prashad is perfectly right to speak of the evolution of the anti-imperialist struggle in the last months and HOW the China-led Global South crushed Trump’s US capitalist (imperialistic) Restoration.
Let’s remind for everyone that imperialism can be understood in a nutshell : expansion-extraction-expropriation-enslavement-evangelization-epidemics-extermination.
Empire is P.E.A.C.E. & G.L.O.R.Y. :
P.eace & Order
E.ducation offered to all
A.ristocracy open to all
C.omfort for a dignified life
E.stablished Universal Health Care
&
G.lobal Security Architecture
L.ifting everyone on Earth out of poverty
O.verture to the inner World
R.esearches on the outer Universe
Y.earning for space exploration with real projects in action
Right now, there is not a change of Empire because the United States of Israel (USI) has never been an Empire but rather a transition from predatory imperialism to Empires. Please note the “s”.
There are returning Empires aka Sovereign Civilizational States manifesting at the same time, not just one, and it is perfectly natural that their rulers all see quite spontaneously the same nefarious kakistocratic entity (the Kakistocratic Feudal Conglomerate of the Anglo-Zio-American EstabLishment/KFC-AZAEL) as the shelter of predatory imperialism.
The United States of Israel (USI) is the main operational branch of the aforementioned KFC-AZAEL.
Moreover, the North Atlantic Terrorist Organization (NATO) is the KFC-AZAEL’s military arm for periodic onslaughts against adversaries and enemies but also for subjugating vassals, colonies and neo-colonies if needed. Some examples of these are : France, Italy, Germany, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, Canada, India, etc.
A colony is controlled by the presence of USI military bases and by non-military means (cultural matrix, mainstream media & propaganda, pop culture, financial framework, economic domination, etc.)
A neo-colony is dominated only by non-military means.
