So what I'm getting from this definition is that any military action across a national border for any reason other than, i guess, pure moral altruistim, is imperialism. Is that the conclusion you mean to build to?
States don't do altruism in a world of states that compete against each other.
Just straight up admitting you've defined imperialism so broadly as to be meaningless
Yeah I agree. So does that make all military conflict that crosses a national border imperialism or does it not?
I don't "want to built to" any conclusion. I gave one definition. And your conclusion, according to that definition is correct.
It's "anarchists" like you why people call it anarkiddies. Read theory then you won't sound as stupid as you do in this thread
