"Trading posts and colonies, gentlemen, have not only strengthened the commercial positions of the peoples concerned; these nations owe their greatness to these institutions."

Leopold II of Belgium

Imperialism is an ideology (although it can be argued that it is more of a practice or policy than an actual ideology) that believes that a country should expand their power or influence through military action. Imperialism was once very popular and dominated the Overton Window, but its popularity has decreased over the years. Imperialism is noted for war advocacy and the belief that powerful nations should rule over weaker ones. Imperialism differs from Nationalism in that it doesn't necessarily believe its nation is the best, but rather believes that the big states in general should rule over the small ones. He is generally seen as being in the authoritarian right area of the compass, but can potentially exist in the others. He defends himself against accusations of oppression by insisting that colonised people benefit because the richer nation helps them, gives them things they couldn't get normally, and that they'll eventually get used to being part of a larger empire.

Spanish Empire

In 1492, Christopher Columbus, a Genoese sailor working for Spain, discovered some islands while attempting to find India. He had landed in the Bahamas. This was the first time a European power discovered the Americas except for the Vikings, who had colonised Greenland prior and also had an abandoned settlement in Newfoundland.

For some time, Spaniard authorities known as "encomenderos" would capture native people and enslave them, which they needed to implement because the existing Inca elites didn't want to transfer from their servile régime to one of voluntary work. After 1512, the Spanish introduced the Law of Burgos to abolish slavery against natives, and later, Philip II introduced the 8-hour working day, which would equally apply to natives.

Great Britain 1707-1800:

When the Kingdom of Great Britain was formed, it still kept all of its English Colonies. Britain expanded in Eastern America and India (Mainly Bengal). Great Britain got into some disputes with France over their North American colonies; claims were disputed, and there was massive tension between the two empires. Soon there was the 7 years war (Other known as the French and Indian war.) The British Empire ended up winning the war taking all of their mainland North America colonies, including some Spanish colonies (later), making British Honduras and British Florida.

Of course, the 7 Years' War was expensive, so the British had to raise taxes in their colonies by a lot. which would cause The American Revolution, which the United States won the war, taking most of British North America except Canada, which they protected in the Battle of Quebec (1775).

Britain's Empire was still powerful and rich due to it still having India and Canada.

Russian Empire

The era of the Russian Empire was marked by wars of expansion and colonisation.

One notable example of Russian imperialism is the Russian conquest of Central Asia, where Russia started a campaign in 1713 to expand Russian territory eastward. During this conflict, Russia conquered the entirety of Central Asia, including what is now the countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.

Another example of Russian imperialism is the Russian colonisation of North America in 1741. During this time, Russia fought numerous conflicts with the regions indigenous peoples over the maritime fur trade. The indigenous population also underwent Russification, being forced to give up their own culture and language in favour of Russian culture and the Russian language.

A third example of Russian imperialism and explanation is the Finnish War , where Russia invaded the Swedish Empire in 1808 and annexed what is now Finland, turning it into an autonomous Grand Duchy. However, in the late 19th century, the Grand Duchy's autonomy was slowly reduced, and Finnish culture started to be Russified.

A fourth example of Russian imperialism is the Russian invasion of Manchuria in 1900, following the First Sino-Japanese War in 1894, and during the Boxer Rebellion, which was used as a justification for the invasion.

Soviet Union

Main Articles: Stalinism, Khrushchevism, and Brezhnev Doctrine

The Soviet Union (USSR) has often been accused of being a "great red empire" by spreading imperialism onto Eastern Europe and the rest of the world. The post-war Stalinist foreign policy is characterised by radical expansionism and domination of Eastern Europe. After the Allied triumph in 1945 against the Axis Powers, the USSR forcibly implemented the policies of domination of Eastern Europe. The forceful imposition of the communist state system and ideology by the Stalinist USSR, as well as the overt emphasis on heavy industry development in Eastern Europe, have similarities to the practice of Colonialism. The Eastern European satellites were economically reliant on the USSR and were subjected to the Red Army’s iron fist rule, and the USSR forced these countries to reject Marshall Plan aid.

The Cominform, for example, was formed to exert direct control over the Soviet satellite states within the Soviet sphere of influence and give the USSR the power to intervene their politics directly. Czechoslovakian Prime Minister Edvard Beneš was also forced to resign following the threats of Red Army invasion of the country. Stalin’s successors, including Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev, albeit being less exploitive than the Stalinist regime, largely continued the policy of violent suppression of anti-Soviet uprisings through the repression of protests, military invasions and force regime change in these countries.

Additionally, Stalin’s regime also created joint-venture enterprises such as “SovRoms”, which served as resource extractions in Eastern Europe, where 80% of Romanian exports were directed to the USSR, and the USSR benefited from a total of 2 billion imports of goods, more than the war reparations. Similar practices also included using political pressures to force cheap imports from Polish coal and Bulgarian tobacco and selling them to world markets, therefore allowing the USSR to profit from the unbalanced trade.

Another form of accusation by communist states “ social imperialism”, originating by Maoism and Hoxhaism to describe the USSR´s policy of “Brezhnev Doctrine” pioneered under Leonid Brezhev. A common example was when in 1968, Leonid Brezhnev crushed an uprising in socialist Czechoslovakia, ousting political dissent and political leader Alexander Dubcek.

Lebensraum

Lebensraum (which means Living Space in German) was a movement created in Germany during the early 20th century. It is believed that Germany should expand into the east and colonise much of that territory to prevent overpopulation, but also derive ideas from Anti-Slavic sentiment. It was popularized during World War I when the British have blockaded Germany and the Germans hoped that taking over the vast fields of Ukraine would negate the effects of the blockade. This idea was later adopted by the Nazis and was a central factor in the start of World War II. The idea died out after the war when all Germans who lived in Eastern Europe, East Prussia and the Sudetenland were either deported or slaughtered.

French Algeria

From 14 June to 5 July 1830, the French Army and Navy launched a large-scale military operation, which is known as the Invasion of Algiers. The Regency of Algiers was conquered by France, making it a French colony and later a core part of France proper, which led to the French conquest of Algeria from 1830 to 1903. During the said period, the French army began a series of military operations known as the Pacification of Algeria from 1835 to 1903.

Japan

Main Article: Showa Statism

Japan is a recent example of imperialism. Also known as the Tokugawa Shogunate at the time, they had gone with an isolationist policy also known as "Sakoku" (鎖国, literally "closed country") for 250~ years except for trading with the Dutch. This was stopped with the help of America's interests towards the outside world as the US fleet led by Commodore Matthew Perry showed up and demanded that the Japanese open up trade in 1853. The following years would have Japan sign unequal treaties that destroyed the economy, as Japan would begin opening up to Western trade and culture and studying Western-based sciences. This caused immediate backlash towards the shogunate, which materialised into a radical, anti-Western, xenophobic movement. A popular slogan known as "Sonnō jōi" (尊王攘夷, Revere the Emperor, expel the barbarians a.k.a. western foreigners) began to spread. The emperor would issue an order that had planned to kick out all foreigners from Japan and to stop these unequal treaties from happening. Yet the shogunate itself had no intentions of enforcing such an order, which caused inspired attacks against foreigners and the shogunate. Tensions escalated as the British demanded reparations for the violence against its people in Japan, which was simply ignored. The Japanese people and the clans of Japan would ally together in a coup in 1866.

The Satsuma-Chōshū alliance, as it was known, along with the 15-year-old Emperor Meiji, joined forces as the Shogun resigned and had his authority given to the Emperor, marking the beginning of the Japanese Empire in 1868. After the Boshin War between forces loyal to the emperor and forces loyal to the Shogun, the Emperor became victorious and began a process of modernisation and a restoration of stability and imperial rule. Japan would begin studying Western practices and sending observers to Western countries to study. Westernization began as Japan began making its system based on the Prussia's military system. They would begin their conquests now as they took Hokkaido in 1869, Chishima Islands in 1875, Ryukyu Islands in 1879, and Nanpo Islands in 1891, while making treaties with foreign powers such as Russia. In 1894, the Japanese fought against the Qing Empire in the Sino-Japanese War for influence over Korea and Japan's desperation for resources, which ended in Japan occupying Korea and China ceding the islands of Taiwan and Penghu in the Treaty of Shimonoseki. In 1905, after a war against Russia, Japan would seize South Sakhalin. In 1910, Korea would end up being directly annexed by Japan, becoming the last Meiji-era conquest.

In the Taishō era during WW1, Japan would join the Entente and siege the German concession of Tsingtao, alongside seizing Mariana, Marshall, Palau, and Caroline Islands, which were also German colonies, all by the autumn of 1914, meaning Japan was the only power to have its troops "home by Christmas" in WW1. The Japanese seizures were confirmed in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, with the Pacific islands becoming a South Seas Mandate. It also assisted the White Army in the Russian Civil War until the latter's defeat in 1922. Throughout the rest of the 1920s (Late Taisho and early Showa Era), Japan did not fight any further wars. However, militarists gradually rose in power after the Great Depression, culminating in the Mukden incident that would be used as a pretext to invade Manchuria in 1931-1932, creating the puppet state of Manchukuo in the process. In 1937, they would launch a full-scale invasion of China following the Marco Polo Bridge incident, burning cities and using bioweapons along the way. Japan joined the Axis and invaded French Indochina in 1940. In 1941, it also invaded British Burma, the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, and Australian New Guinea, while also bombing Pearl Harbour in Hawaii and Darwin in Northern Australia. Eventually, in 1945, WW2 in Asia came to an end after the American island-hopping allowed them to get close to Japan, China kept holding out, while the Soviets invaded Manchuria. The coup de grâce was delivered by the US via two nukes: one on Hiroshima and one on Nagasaki. Japan would surrender shortly afterwards, with its new constitution's article 9 making sure that Japan would be non-violent, with all its gains since the Meiji era being undone (outside of Hokkaido and Ryukyu).

The United States

Main Articles: Jacksonian Democracy, Bull Moose Progressivism, and Neoconservatism

The United States of America is one of the greatest examples of imperialism, one flexing it in all of its forms. It can't be denied that the US was or still is imperialist at some point. From the Classical Liberal era to modern Neoconservative/ Neoliberal times. Many Americans who fought slavery, such as Seminole and Apache who resisted the genocide against their people and culture, would have been historically demonised by the American government in what was "historical revisionism".

The USA was a settler-colonist state established by England (later Great Britain) in Jamestown, Virginia, on the land of the Powhattan people. Although the Roanoke Colony was founded in 1585, what happened to the settlement remained a mystery. After successfully fighting off the natives of Virginia, more colonies were brought to existence, such as Massachusetts Bay, New Hampshire, Maryland, Rhode Island, Connecticut, the Carolinas, and Georgia. New York, New Jersey, and Delaware were added upon the annexation of New Netherland in 1664. By 1732, there was an overview of Thirteen Colonies as a whole. Eventually, the expensive taxes and tight authority of Great Britain pushed the colonies to revolt, led by George Washington. By 1783, the American Revolutionary War of independence was halted with the 1783 Treaty of Paris, and the United States was born, and was allowed to manifest its destiny.

Manifest Destiny

Almost immediately, colonists moved westward past the Appalachian Mountains into the former Indian reserves that the Brits hadn't previously allowed. This incited conflict with the people living there, of course. An example of this was on May 28th 1830, when Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. This relocated native Americans from Georgia, Mississippi, Albania, to a long walk to the territory today of Oklahoma. Those 5 major Indian tribes, Choctaw, Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw, and Seminole, had to travel barefoot on the Trail of Tears, certainly in the winter, followed by American soldiers under the orders of Jackson. Many died on the way thanks to diseases, frost, and malnutrition/dehydration.

Monroe Doctrine

WIP

Pax Americana

After WW2, the US government created the Northern Atlantic Treaty Organization along with the UK, FRG, France, and other pro-American countries. NATO was involved in 70 régime change attempts during the Cold War. This includes the Korean War, which killed 2-3 million Korean civilians and destroyed 85% of North Korean buildings. The Vietnam War lasted ten years and saw 2 million civilians perish, with 388,000 tons of napalm dropped on the Vietnamese land. US under Secretary of State Henry Kissinger also launched Operation Condor, which couped many pro-Soviet social authoritarians and democratic socialists and replaced them with notorious National Capitalist tyrants, such as Jorge Rafael Videla, Hugo Benzer, Alfredo Stroessner, and Augusto Pinochet. These actions saw mass killings and prosecutions of political dissidents carried out by far-right dictators and directly caused the deaths of 60-80k people, with millions plunged into poverty.

After the end of the Cold War, the US gained world hegemony as the world’s sole superpower. It immediately started mass campaigns against any country that dared to disobey its orders. Since 1991, the US has launched at least 251 military operations, including the Afghanistan War, which lasted 20 years and cost the US 2 trillion dollars, the Iraq War, the Invasion of Libya, the NATO intervention in the Syrian Civil War, etc. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have killed at least 500k civilians, with millions suffering from food insecurity and poverty. In 2021, after the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, the Biden Administration froze the 3.5 billion Afghan funds due to the Taliban takeover, with many experts warning that a potential famine is looming in Afghanistan due to the mix of US blockade and intellectuals and talented and skilled people fled from the Taliban to western countries.

Foundations and Beliefs

Tenets

Imperialists believe that the subjugation of other weaker nations by stronger ones is necessary for survival, whether pacifist or militarist (preferably the latter).

Suzerainty

Suzerainty is a relationship in which one state or other polity controls the foreign policy and relations of a tributary state, while allowing the tributary state to have internal autonomy. The dominant state is called the "suzerain". Suzerainty differs from sovereignty in that the tributary state is technically independent, but enjoys only limited self-rule. Although the situation has existed in a number of historical empires, it is considered difficult to reconcile with 20th- or 21st-century concepts of international law, in which sovereignty is a binary concept, which either exists or does not. While a sovereign state can agree by treaty to become a protectorate of a stronger power (Id Est, [[File:Cball-Cooks.png], small island states of Oceania), modern international law does not recognise any way of making this relationship compulsory on the weaker power. Suzerainty is a practical, de facto situation, rather than a legal, de jure one.

Justifications/Apologism

The justifications for Imperialism vary from time and region. While imperialism is almost always done out of the self-interest of the motherland, many empires have tried to find moral justifications to gain public support for invading and conquering other nations.

In Western countries such as the UK, France, and Belgium, the colonisation of Africa was justified through missionary arguments or freeing native Africans from local warlords. Even though natives in some European colonies (especially in the Congo Free State) worked under slave-like conditions, apologists (such as historian Bruce Gilley) argue that they were still better off under colonial rule than they were under native elites.

The United States justified its expansionism of the American continent throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries through Manifest Destiny and the Monroe Doctrine.

Expansionism practised by non-Western countries such as Russia/Soviet Union and Japan is generally justified by countering Western imperialism for the sake of self-preservation. The Empire of Japan justified its conquest of other Asian countries through the "East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", which served as a counterbalance to European/American colonialism in the region.

Variants

Sub-Ideologies

Colonialism

Colonialism is a system or policy by which a nation maintains or advocates control or influence over a dependent country, territory, or people. The political basis of colonialism is expanding a nation's influence and international presence through the acquisition of territory. It is based economically on the allocation of capital abroad in exchange for cheap resources and labour. Colonialism also means the fundamental inequality of relations between the metropolis and the colony (province). Sometimes Colonialism will benefit the colonised people only so far as it benefits the colonisers. Other times, the well-being of colonised people is a priority (though, rarely a top one).

Colonialism is accompanied by economic reconstruction of the affected area either to its detriment or its gain(the colonizer will always develop for its own perceived gain), the destruction of native culture to something more suitable to the colonizer, ethnocultural and religious characteristics, sometimes the imposition of official metropolitan culture, the formation of an ideology that justifies domination (racism, messianism, socialism, etc.), spreading imperial myths and stereotypes.

Colonialism can (debatadly) be seen in modern-day China's Occupation of Tibet.

Schools of Thought

Cultural Imperialism

Cultural imperialism is the practice of promoting, isolating and artificially bringing the culture of one society into another. Usually, a large, economically or militarily powerful nation brings and promotes its culture. Cultural imperialism can be both an active, formal policy and a general attitude. Theorists of postcolonialism study cultural imperialism as a form of non-military hegemony.

As an example, Western countries produce the majority of media, such as films, music and comics. They have the money to produce them, while Third World countries buy these products because they are cheaper than producing them themselves. Therefore, Third World countries watch and consume media containing Western ways of life, beliefs and thoughts, becoming assimilated and thus erasing their own culture, whether voluntarily or not.

Soft Imperialism

For ideologies that are accused of being moderate or soft imperialist, see: Irredentism and Pan-Nationalism.

It can be argued that Soft Imperialism and Cultural Imperialism are intertwined, as they both seek to expand their sphere of influence in a non-violent way.

Many pan-nationalist ideas have been accused of being imperialist because of the dominance of one country over the others, such as Pan-Slavism, with Russia being the dominant nation.

Neo-Imperialism

(This is for explaining different interpretations of the ideology.)

Post-Imperialism

Post-imperialism refers to the period and state of affairs following the decline or dismantling of the formal imperialist system, when one nation or group of nations exercises significant control or influence over others. In the post-imperialist phase, former colonies or territories gain autonomy and/or independence, but they may still face the legacy and consequences of imperial rule, such as economic inequality, cultural influences or geopolitical complexities. This often involves changing the global power dynamics and can create new challenges and opportunities in international relations.

Examples include:

• The fall of the Ottoman Empire.
• The end of the British and French colonial rule, as after WWII, many of their colonies in Asia and Africa gained independence.
• Dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Galactic Imperialism

Galactic Imperialism is a hypothetical Ideology that supports the expansion of Imperialism into outer space, often to gain new resources and achieve Galactic dominance.

Regional Tendiences

Thalassocracy

Thalassocracy is a political ideology that holds for a state that has naval control over a body of water (specifically seas and even oceans), either militarily or commercially. However, Thalassocracy is more of a policy rather than an ideology. As a policy, it is easiest to implement in an authoritarian right society, but can work in any ideology with a state that maintains trade, a navy and/or a military.

Tellurocracy

Tellurocracy is an ideology, which is more of a policy. It focuses on land development and inland expansion, as opposed to Thalassocracy, which focuses on dominating power around a body of water.

In theory, Tellurocracy is classified as follows: a sedentary lifestyle (while resettlement colonisation is not excluded), conservatism, constancy of legal norms, the presence of a powerful bureaucratic apparatus and central authority, strong infantry, but a weak navy.

Notable Tellurocracies include, but are not limited to, Ancient China, Ancient Persia, Roman Empire, Mongol Empire, Russia, United States in the early-to-mid 19th century, etc

• National Capitalism - Nazism/Fascism, but economically more liberal. Some of you even worked with NATO against the Communist Bloc.
• State Shinto and Showa Statism - My cruel comparative counterpart from the East. Colonising Korea and Taiwan and killing Chinese was based, but once you began to steal European and American colonies, the nukes became inevitable.
• American Model- America today is the greatest Empire, from killing some Indians, manipulating their continental neighbours and invading countries in the Middle East, you know how to play the game.
• Neoliberalism & Neoconservatism - My contemporary successors who reside in Western nations. Why did you make several Pacific colonies independent, and why did you return Okinawa to Japan?
• Third Way - He also takes part in liberal empire-building.
• Neo-Libertarianism - The Phoenix Foundation is pretty cool.
• Zionism - Building settler colonies in the West Bank and Golan Heights, and imposing a blockade on the Gaza Strip is based! Although I wish you didn't return the Sinai Peninsula
• Kahanism - If you got your way, Israel could become an empire!
• American Loyalism - Perhaps the US should've remained part of the British Empire...
• Washingtonism and Jeffersonian Democracy - It's time to manifest that destiny.
• Jacksonian Democracy - Yes manifest that destiny.
• Conservative Liberalism - Churchill and Smuts fought to uphold the British Empire, so you're worthy of respect in my book.
• Corporatocracy - Good friend of mine. Helps me maintain control over my former colonies after ” decolonisation” while giving my people an illusion of independence.
• Ingsoc - You managed to be more extreme and strict (and better) than the British Empire! Suppressing any anti-imperialist thoughts while using tactics to maintain control over all aspects of the state and lives is BASED AF!
• Crusadism - DEVS VVLT!
• Jihadism - Restore the Caliphate! ALLAHU AKBAR! Why do some of you claim to resist me, though?

• Bull Moose Progressivism - Teddy's actions in the Philippines, Cuba, and Panama, among others, and Woodrow's interventions in WWI and the Russian Civil War were based AF!
• Neo-Ottomanism - My son resides in Istanbul, Ottoman Empire. He has the same ideas as I.
• National Democracy - Polska od morza do morza!
• Stalinism - The great Red Napoleon. The Holodomor, the Polish division with Germany, the invasion of all of Eastern Europe, and the Cold War were all so based!
• Brezhnevism - I love your doctrine of a tight grip on the Eastern Bloc and how you invaded Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan.
• Khrushchevism - You brutally crushed Eastern European protests and uprisings, which were based, and so was the forming of the Warsaw Pact. But why did you support so many anti-colonial movements?
  • Pragmatism, comrade. Preserve our great workers' state and destroy the others!
• Fourth Theory - Eurasianism sounds really epic.
• Reactionary Socialism - Father of the above. Also shares great social views...
• State Liberalism - Woke Imperialism sounds really epic too. You are so weird, though.
• White Nationalism - You were historically the dominant ideology of the Western powers. But you tend to forget that other races and civilisations are just as competent.
• Putinism - Bringing Moscow back to its former glory. I love your actions in Georgia, Chechnya and Ukraine. Stop saying you're an "anti-imperialist", though.
• Objectivism - Your economic and philosophical ideology is certainly a bit out there for sure, but your views on ethnic minorities such as Native Americans were SO FUCKING BASED! After all, "Any white person who brought the element of civilisation had the right to take over this continent", as you said so yourself.
• French Fascism - If you and your Germany ally had won World War 2, you could have kept your colonies forever.

Temporary Transition Partners

• Republicanism - Hates me since most empires are monarchies. But at least we both like the American French and Banana Republics. (Even if it is for different reasons.)
• Tribalism - This is where we all would be if it weren’t for wars and conquest. But Genghis Khan and other tribal Empires, such as the Aztecs, were based despite them being justifiably civilised.
• Irredentism (when it's for his country) - You want to take others' land and that's based, but can you stop pestering me telling me what land to take?
• Nationalism - Depends if I conquer for him, or if I conquer him.
• Jingoism - See above.
• Feudalism - Okay, seriously? I despise the idea of lots of tiny states to conquer easily. That is the literal opposite of an empire. At least Charlemagne, HRE, and Northern Europe were very based.
• Reactionaryism - One can see that Africa, America, and Southeast Asia were better off under European rule and that granting these places independence has only made them worse in the long run. However, I like to call anyone who dares to resist my expansionist influence a reactionary who tries and fails to stop the natural progression of history.
• Separatism - A useful idiot for my divide and conquer plan. But don't you dare try to liberate yourselves from me. I liked how the US became an imperialist power when it gained independence.
• Globalism - The new kid who wants to take my place... do you reduce the sovereignty of some countries? Based, but stay out of my way!
• World Federalism - Same as above, but even more extreme and in overt denial about it! Which I think he is trying to do for optics.
• Pan-Nationalism - MUST MAKE COUNTRY BIGGER! You're often standing in the way of making my country bigger! And some of your followers hate me too
• Gaullism - Way to soft on Algeria. Francafrique isn't enough! You should've learned from Petain.
• European Federalism - The EU doesn't go far enough.
• Reformist Marxism - I must inform you Bernstein, those savages you worry about have already been enlightened and treated fairly under my rule. But Nosaka and his followers are utter morons.
• Marxism–Leninism - You were always yapping about how I'm the bad guy, but at the same time, your later counterparts enforced Soviet Imperialism in Eastern Europe to crack down on reformist factions in case they succeed...I'm quite impressed. "Socialism In One Country" my ass.
• Western MLs - Similar to above. You claim to hate imperialism but constantly simp for some of my followers. Curious.
• Marxism - You're a damn lazy intellectual trying to steal my results for yourself! Some of the people who came after you became helpers who boosted me, so I could put you here.
• Trotskyism - "Permanent revolution", you say? If you mean invading other countries, then maybe it might be good... Oh, nevermind, you suck. But the idea that only Western countries can develop is true.
• Chinese Theocracy - You were once based, but during the Ming Dynasty, you became isolationist. This allowed the Europeans to have the Americas to themselves, and they technologically suppressed you, so you became a great target for me.
• Maoism - You always talk about how you hate me, and say the third world needs to be free from colonialism, but at the very least, you rightfully retook your clay from Reactionary Tibetans to re-establish the borders of your former empire. You also worked with Kissinger and Nixon, so that's good too.
• Dengism - Wish you were as based as liberals claim you are and take your petty border disputes to the next level. Thanks for siding with me in past conflicts, though. What you did in Vietnam was based. Still look forward to the day when you inevitably go to war with the US over Taiwan. That'll be a glorious clash of civilisations
• Posadism - The nuclear holocaust is a controversial topic in our circle. With that, we can instantly win and take over the entire world, without wasting our soldiers and military gear, but on the other hand - nuked places will be unusable for entire decades, and there will be no potentially useful survivors from the enemy side (who will we enslave or use as collab local leaders)?
• Ba'athism - Claims to oppose me, but then one proceeds to invade and occupy Lebanon while the other proceeds to invade and occupy Kuwait. Curious.
• Ilminism & Juche - Korea should've remained under Japanese rule.
• Fabian Socialism and Attlee Socialism - You had such promise, but in the end it almost all went out with a whimper.
• Leninism - You like playing yourself up as a hater of me, yet you set up native collabs and paved the way for better ideologues.
• Jacobinism - Looks like history does repeat itself, after all...

Uncivilized Savages

• Neighborstan - YOUR LAND IS MINE!
• Independence Anarchism - You are my clay, stop complaining!
• Anti-Imperialists - World peace makes people weak, but wars turn boys into men.
• Patchwork - *Pathetic.*
• Guevarism - Basically Maoism without its good qualities. Yuck!
• Alter-Globalism - Wants to make the entire planet one anti-empire. LITERALLY EVIL!
• Most communists - You guys keep writing books demonising me! I especially hated Lenin's book. At least some of your children are based.
• Indigenism - They're savages! Savages! Barely even human, Savages! Savages! Drive them from our shore, They're not like you and me, Which means they must be evil, We must sound the drums of war! Also, I have to give a cheer to my Mountie Friend for forcing you guys to be educated into the far superior British Culture!
• Black Nationalism - What annoying yappers! They always complain about the white man as they turn their own countries into third-world shitholes. I'm up for another partition of Africa. The Mali and Ethiopian Empires were pretty based, though. The Zulus were also quite a worthy enemy, and Dessaline wasn't too bad at all.
• National Liberalism - STFU and let me do my job! At least Bibi was based.
• Arab Socialism - The Arabs are uncivilised barbarians who don’t deserve a federation! How does it feel being owned by Israel over and over and over again?
• Revolutionary Progressivism - Why do you hate me? I’m a progressive too. I bring progress to smaller and uncivilized societies and help them modernize. Sure some innocent blood may be spilled, but it’s all worth it in the long run. Anyone who resists me is probably a reactionary. At least he's based and he's also somewhat cool.
• Paleoconservatism - You can never stop American hegemony no matter what.
• Sankarism - Afrique Occidentale au Afrique Équatoriale ne deviendra pas indépendant! Et baise Thomas Sankara!
• Ho Chi Minh Thought - L'Indochine ne deviendra pas indépendant!! Et va te faire foutre, Ho Chi Minh!!
• Algerian Socialism - Eh bien, vous ne semblez pas vous soucier beaucoup de mon objectif de propager la civilisation à votre peuple. Tout ce qui vous importait, c'était d'avoir votre propre pays et de le gouverner vous-même. Allez vous faire foutre, vous et votre soi-disant résistance, Ahmed Ben Bella et Ferhat Abbas !
• Post-Colonial Anarchism - See? These savages know nothing of true civilization, it's better for them to live under our empire and be assimilated anyway.
• Kemalism - REEEEEE!!! You did not just end my ambitions to colonize Turkey by breaking it apart, but you also ended the Ottoman Empire! You also entered a treaty to resist my expansionist influence to invade the Balkans! I HATE YOU!!!!!
• Tridemism - YOU ENDED THE QING, PUSHED THE EMPIRE OF JAPAN OUT OF YOUR LAND, AND BROKE ALL OF MY TREATIES TO COLONIZE CHINA!!!!!!! But how you claim Tibet and the entirety of Mongolia to be your own legitimate territory is based.
• Titoism - You mother f*cker didn’t just push me out of your land but you also resisted the Soviet and Western takeover of your country!! You also created the Non-aligned Movement to resist my influence you piece of sh*t!!! I kind of like your claims in Bulgaria, Albania, and Greece. If only you actually did something there.
• Starmerism - Because of you, the Sun will set on the British Empire!
• Irredentism (when it's against his country) - Lulz k. Say goodbye to Provincistan.
• Isolationism - You will open up and accept my demands or I will overwhelm you with sheer numbers.
• Anti-Civilization - Why would you rather live in a savage tribe than in my great civilization?

Quotes

"The days are for great Empires and not for little States. The question for this generation is whether we are to be numbered among the great Empires or the little States."

Joseph Chamberlain

"American and Indian, Boer and Zulu, Cossack and Tartar, New Zealander and Maori, – in each case the victor, horrible though many of his deeds are, has laid deep the foundations for the future greatness of a mighty people."

Theodore Roosevelt

"Italy finally has its empire. It is a fascist empire, an empire of peace, an empire of civilisation and humanity.."

Benito Mussolini

"I think we shall have to take the Chinese in hand and regulate them. I believe that as civilized nations become more powerful they will get more ruthless, and the time will come when the world will impatiently bear the existence of great barbaric nations who may at any time arm themselves and menace civilized nations. I believe in the ultimate partition of China—I mean ultimate. I hope we shall not have to do it in our day. The Aryan stock is bound to triumph."

Winston Churchill

"I would say colonialism is a wonderful thing. It spread civilization to Africa. Before it they had no written language, no wheel as we know it, no schools, no hospitals, not even normal clothing."

Ian Smith

"In 100 years of colonialism, Hong Kong has changed to what we see today. With China being so big, of course, it would require 300 years as a colony for it to be able to transform into how Hong Kong is today. I have my doubts as to whether 300 years would be enough."

Liu Xiaobo

"England ended the transatlantic slave trade. They ended the ritual murder of widows in India. England was an empire and did bad things, but compared to what? Compared to any other empire in history, this was the most benign empire ever. Nothing compares to it, actually. No one says that. You have to ask: why do they not say that? Why are they intent on convincing us that the British Empire was evil? Of course, the answer is because they're all in on the Chinese empire, right? By denying you knowledge of the past, they make it possible to sell you something even worse in the future."

Tucker Carlson
