Is that what the article was about? Here is what JBF is arguing against in the
article, point by point:
"(1) one nation cannot exploit another; (2) there is no such thing as monopoly
capitalism as the economic basis of imperialism; (3) imperialist rivalry and
exploitation between nations has been displaced by global class struggles
within a fully globalized transnational capitalism; (4) all great powers today
are capitalist nations engaged in interimperialist struggle; (5) imperialist
nations can be judged primarily on a democratic-authoritarian spectrum, so that
not all imperialisms are created equal; (6) imperialism is simply a political
policy of aggression of one state against another; (7) humanitarian imperialism
designed to protect human rights is justified; (8) the dominant classes in the
Global South are no longer anti-imperialist and are either transnationalist or
subimperialist in orientation; (9) the “anti-imperialist left” is “Manichean”
in its support of the morally “good” Global South against the morally “bad”
Global North; (10) economic imperialism has now been “reversed” with the Global
East/ South now exploiting the Global West/North; (11) China and the United
States head rival imperialist blocs; and (12) Lenin was mainly a theorist of
interimperialism, not of the imperialism of center and periphery."
Which of these sentiments have you heard on the list?
