Anti-Imperialism

 

“Without a doubt, patriotism and militarism constitute the foundation upon which the imperialism practiced by the great powers of the present day rests. Accordingly, before we judge the merits of imperialism, we must first examine the nature of patriotism and militarism.”

Imperialism: Monster of the Twentieth Century, by Kōtoku Shūsui (1901)


Quotes

“For centuries now, the European imperialist economic system has expanded, extending its domination throughout the Western world until today we see it infesting every corner of the globe.”

Direct Action / The Vancouver Five, How We See It (1983)


“The basis of our anti-imperialist struggle is extending the social struggle to form a base in the anti-capitalist struggle within an international perspective.”

Endless Struggle, Against Imperialism: International Solidarity and Resistance (1990)
