Imperialism is characterized by one political entity conquering or annexing thru coercion other political entities to bring new land, population, wealth, and natural resources under their control. No need to muck up or stretch out the definition.
In this case, the Statesian North imperialized the Statesian South, the Soviet Union imperialized Nazi Germany, etc. The definition you’re using is absurd and reductionist, the one I’m using is consistent, explains why it exists, how it functions, and how to end it.
If you’re truly using “annexation” as a definition of imperialism, then communists don’t have a problem with this “annexationist imperialism,” as it can absolutely be a good thing. Communists oppose the definition I explained, let’s call it “economic imperialism,” because it’s always bad and is the biggest obstacle to socialism globally.
Changing the name of the process doesn’t change the nature of it. Why are you getting so tripped up on what we call it, rather than the process itself?
