This study argues that a historical materialist theory of what a
capitalist empire is has yet to be fully articulated. It proceeds to lay
out such a theory. The paper outlines a theory of capitalist empire
situated in relation to a historical materialist conceptualization of
how capitalism operates. In this I distinguish state and imperialism as
aspects of capitalist empires, but empire itself as something related
to, but larger than these historical processes. I also locate capitalist
empires in relation to the logic of capitalism and its crises
tendencies, and the way the logic of capital plays out over uneven
development and the exploitation of a variety of labor forms.
Additionally, the paper examines the racialized, gendered, and
ecological aspects of capitalist empires in an attempt to begin to
explain the political economy of capitalist empires as total social wholes.
