Imperialism

From MarxWiki

Refers to the policy of nations that aim to extend their boundaries into new territories, often through colonialism. In Marxist theory, imperialism is one of the means by which capitalism extends its power by creating both new markets to sell commodities and new labor forces to make the commodities at a low cost. Cultural imperialism refers to how ways of life are exported into other territories through cultural products and popular culture. The United States is often accused of cultural imperialism as it is the center of production of global popular culture and has economic power.
