The world is not inter-imperialist, with Comrade Perrault


Listen Later

Apologies for being a few days late! We have been busy producing the new issue of Women & Revolution which should be out soon.

In this episode, Mansa sits down with Comrade Perrault to discuss a big debate on the left: why the world is not defined by an inter-imperialist rivalry, but by the breakdown of U.S. hegemony. We go into some of the arguments on the left for characterising China and Russia as imperialist powers, and what the problems with these are. Hint: revision of Marxism!

  • The fallacy of the inter-imperialist analysis
  • The world at a turning point
  • U.S. imperialism turns the screws
  • The class nature of China
  • Why China is not imperialist
  • Why China is not capitalist
