Has the US matured as imperialist or capitalist?

Question

please explain, give reasons

Answer 1

I'm an American. It's true the US is imperialist and capitalist. Imperialism mean making your will subjective to others. Wanting Many people to accept your ideology and the spread of your ideology. The war on terror is a good example of an imperialist nation. Your want examples. Invasion of afghan, Iraq war. Our economy is capitalist. The largest industries in the U.S are owned by private individuals .

Answer 2

Maturity is not a distinction of imperialism nor capitalism. Given the current political/military mega-war-environment, the Bush/Cheney/Republikan/Fascist administration has virtually wiped out decades of past economic accomplishments and advantages that could've been, or might have been, remotely distinguished as a form of "maturity" of one kind or another. However, having said that, considering the ego-maniacal behavior and dysfunctionallly aberrant sociopathology exhibited by the USA since 9/11 in the abstract form of George W Bush and his shadow alpha dog Dicky Cheney, we cannot, with honesty, point to a single example where maturity of any kind, imperialistic or capitalistic, has had any influence whatsoever.

Answer 3

The U.S. was never an imperialist nation. The only possible exception you might cite is our annexation of Hawaii, because it was not vital to national security, nor a natural part of the U.S. Alaska was simply a purchase; security was not a strong motivating factor. There are tiny island nations such as American Samoa, but these places wanted to allay themselves with the U.S.

The best example of an imperialist country was the USSR. The Soviets, once they entered a country, forced it to accede to its wishes and policies, under none-too-suble threat of reprisal. All the nations of Middle and Eastern Europe that fell under its sphere of influence were not given any chance of escaping any more than a small asteroid could escape the intractable pull of gravity from a black hole in space.

When countries such as Hungary or Czechoslovakia tried to even make modest reforms in the Soviet model of government within their own countries, the Soviet tanks rolled in and crushed any opposition. An imperialist country wants to dominate ever more land across the globe, and until the USSR relinquished control of its satellite nations, the USSR was growing inexorably, all across the globe, from Central America to Africa to Asia.

The U.S. has never operated this way. When we have engaged in military operations, we usually leave as soon as possible. Exceptions to this include countries that require our presence to prevent attack from a hostile neighbor. This is why we are still in South Korea.

Capitalism is the motivating factor of the U.S. The desire to grow as an Empire, such as the Roman Empire or the Soviet Empire, runs contrary to our Constitution and way of life.

Answer 4

It would seem we are cutting our imperialist teeth, yet again. We have grown in the Middle East, through the occupation of Iraq.

Answer 7

Yes to everything. USA is the only decent place on this whole planet. The rest of the world is very inferior. We have a chance to say, be, and do anything we want and can go from abject poverty to lord and master of mega-millions in just minutes. We are arrogant and justly so as no one can equal us. But we have just elected the demon-crats to office and we will end up at the bottom of the heap. The demon-crats are friends of every enemy of the USA. Now is the chance of the world to pay us back for everything we did to you.
