1. What exactly is an "anti imperialist"

?

[zackymilly]

2. From wikipedia:

The phrase gained a wide currency after the Second World War and at the onset of the Cold War as political movements in colonies of European powers promoted national sovereignty. Some anti-imperialist groups who opposed the United States supported the power of the Soviet Union, such as in Guevarism, while in Maoism this was criticized as social imperialism.

8. ROFLMAO Imperialism went out with World War II

The British, Dutch, French Empires all collapsed and the world went on a self-determination binge. It took decades to play out but by ang large there is no imperialism practiced in the world today. So being anti-imperialist is like saying I support the invention of the wheel.

Funny!!
