Re: hahaha douche. (chavez)
[quote=thesightless;451720]but that is not imperialism, imperialism in itself dictates a degree of unwanted control, which isnt there in those cases, in fact, all of them show the opposite, a wanted degree of working together for mutual benifit. a nice example i mention is what happened last year in Germany. well it goes like this.....
the US opted to close a few overseas military bases left over from last century, but the mutual benifit that germany received caused a bit of a stir as the local economies were so heavily reliant on the bases that Germany itslef asked the US to keep the bases. this hardly falls under the prototypical imperialism idea. if anything, this is the proverbial olive branch extension to them.
PS can anyone tell im writing again? article in Institutional Investor coming soon.....[/quote]
eh? you're losing me here. Imperialism does not dictate unwanted control. All imperialism is is undermining a population to gain territory/resources.
Re: hahaha douche. (chavez)
undermining = unwanted.
if it were wanted, it wouldnt be undermining. thats simple definition. again, i stress the question that has developed ... how is an act that is requested by one party, viewed as evil, particularly is both parties are benifiting.

well not necessarily, undermining could be plotting without the opposition knowing - much like a stab in the back. Exactly what King Leopold did. An even better example is the colonization of the 13 original colonies. Befriending the Red Indians, than stripping the land from them. ie. undermining.
