        Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism and racism is one expression of it

          I think you should check your definitions because nothing in that comment is correct.

          Imperialism, capitalism and racism have no inherent overlapping whatsoever. Each can exist without the other two.

            Capitalism needs always growing and expanding markets in order to keep giving the owners of capital with surplus value; therefore, it colonized inhabited lands to tap on new markets and uses the population of over exploited countries as slave labor for maximum profits. It uses race and racism as a convenient story to justify why the slaves are in the position of slaves and why the native people were genocided to take their land. This is why imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism and racism is a tool of capitalism. To learn more about this please read

              Youre saying red is the highest form of apple because you saw an apple become red when ripe. Those are mere historical anecdotes and have nothing to do with the general meaning of the words. I wont keep playing this game with you, keep trolling elsewhere please.

                You are literally just trying to be a contrarian here. The historical context of the meme is American history if you didn’t notice. Therefore, my definitions are correct in the economical and historical context. You are literally just trying to move the conversation away from the actual issue. I am not playing that game. You can go and troll elsewhere.

                    What’s up with these unfounded accusations? Stop rationalizing your point of view and try to use logic. That statement is mere cope.
