This is what you get when you constantly promote zizek.
Edit: there’s a reason why marxists don’t use hegel’s dialectics

This is basically what I was trying to say. The reply I got was “you’re not a Marxist, you’re a nationalist. If you fight US imperialism “””other imperialisms””” will fill the gap.”
Inter-imperialist conflict create an opening for socialist movements, with WWI as the most obvious example.
Funny how these guys living comfortable lives in western countries have discovered that the One True Form of Marxism just so happens to be one where they can continue to live their comfortable cushy life and do absolutely nothing to further socialists causes.
Yeah that's what the entire last paragraph of what I posted states. It's very convenient
The counter point to that would be analysis on "sub-imperislist" countries and regional blocs, of which many Marxists, including Amin, have covered over the last 50 years. But I don't think that they will be able to understand it if they can't understand imperialism first. Because, well, most sub imperialist blocs tend to align themselves with Western interests in the bigger picture at some point or another, as the global capitalist imperialist system led by the triad of the United States, Western Europe and Japan is the dominant imperialist force in the world.
