Imperialism isnt something a country can “engage” in.

jesus fucking christ how can a group that bitches about people not reading enough theory be so fucking uneducated?

Imperialism is the maintaining and extending of power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism, employing both hard power (military and economic power) and soft power (diplomatic power and cultural imperialism). Imperialism focuses on establishing or maintaining hegemony and a more formal empire.
