Marxists see Imperialism as laid out by Lenin as the final stages of Capitalism as the number one contradiction that must be fought for Socialism to take hold. This doesn’t necessarily mean other systems can’t be bad as well, but that the effect of Imperialism is what pushes the imperialized countties towards revolution and weakens the strength of Anticommunism.
The United States is the largest Imperialist Power in the world, currently, and it’s nowhere close. If you track the rate of export of industrial and financial Capital to states with resources directly, you’ll see that the US is in the lead, and it isn’t close.
I told you, because Marxists use Lenin’s definition of Capitalism as it becomes Imperialism.
I outright stated that other things can be bad as well, but it is necessarily this Capitalism at its death throes that prevents socialism and yet brings it about.

why are you defining imperialism as the export of capital and not, idk, the use of force against other nations?
