Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism. This is where the capitalist states develop aggression to maintain the economic system they have implemented, to dictate and have power in terms of decision making, to have influence and power over the world organisations. I think USA has been doing very well economically, but now other countries are coming up very strong in all departments.
Our we realy fighting terrorism or are we seeking attention from international society by trying to prove how powerful we are?
I think USA is beggining to be proved that a lot of countries under estimated are beginning to have their own programs and that is disturbing for any superpower country, especially if the influence and their personel in world organisations can be out voted. DESPARATION AND AGRESSION TO MAINTAIN STANDARD SET LEADS TO IMPERIALISM. ANY REASON TO JUSTIFY KILLING AND DISTRUCTIONS WILL BE USED TO SUSTAIN THE SET STANDARDS AND, CURRENT AND FUTURE PROGRAMS THEY WANT TO SUSTAIN!

Dude, Marx is dead and discredited, quit wasting your time studying that useless crap. I suggest you switch your major to Finance and join the real world.

Imperialism and Capitalism are two totally different concepts. Capitalism is a form of Economy involving Free Enterprise, while Imperialism is political, and involves a country asserting or forcing its own agendas on other countires. A country can be Imperialist and NOT capitalist, as evidenced by the former USSR. But yes: the U.S. has been an Imperialist power ever since 1845 when we cajoled Mexico into a war just so we could make a land grab, which gave us most of what is now the Western United States.

Imperialism, has absolutely nothing to do with Capitalism.
Imperialism is one nation forcing it's will on others, either directly through conquest, or indirectly through manipulation.
Capitalism is nothing more than the free movement of goods and services in a society.
Only an Anti-American Marxist wack-job would try and associate these 2 things.
