Recall we are talking about https://monthlyreview.org/2024/11/01/the-new-denial-of-imperialism-on-the-left/#en70 and its list of points quoted in https://groups.io/g/marxmail/message/33302. Marv argues that the statement "humanitarian imperialism designed to protect human rights is justified" is a sentiment widely supported among the few dozen people who frequently post to marxmail. "Humanitarian Imperialism" (https://www.amazon.com/Humanitarian-Imperialism-Using-Human-Rights/dp/1583671471) is a term that applies to politicians like Samantha Power (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Power) but is an epithet when applied to us. I don't know why I have to defend that point from Marv, a frequent user of the marxmail. How about "imperialism is simply a political policy of aggression of one state against another." Who among us believes that? > though I'm not about to do a search of the archive to produce a footnoted > report.
