Yes its imperialist neo-colonialist super-exploitation Kim Ann. But white supremacy is central to imperialism and colonialism since the origin of capitalist accumulation , not just part of it. Capitalism _is_ white supremacism. White supremacy and capitalism are inextricably intertwined historically and structurally .

Kim : " I think it's more than race, although that is definitely part of it. The US basically thinks that it should be able to tell the entire world what to do. It's how imperialism works." CB : Yes its imperialist neo-colonialist super-exploitation Kim Ann. But white supremacy is central to imperialism and colonialism since the origin of capitalist accumulation , not just part of it. Capitalism _is_ white supremacism. White supremacy and capitalism are inextricably intertwined historically and structurally . "The discovery of gold and silver in America, the extirpation, enslavement and entombment in mines of the aboriginal population, the beginning of the conquest and looting of the East Indies, the turning of Africa into a warren for the commercial hunting of black-skins, signalised the rosy dawn of the era of capitalist production. These idyllic proceedings are the chief momenta of primitive accumulation. On their heels treads the commercial war of the European nations, with the globe for a theatre. It begins with the revolt of the Netherlands from Spain, assumes giant dimensions in England’s Anti-Jacobin War, and is still going on in the opium wars against China, &c. The different momenta of primitive accumulation distribute themselves now, more or less in chronological order, particularly over Spain, Portugal, Holland, France, and England. In England at the end of the 17th century, they arrive at a systematical combination, embracing the colonies, the national debt, the modern mode of taxation, and the protectionist system. These methods depend in part on brute force, e.g., the colonial system. But, they all employ the power of the State, the concentrated and organised force of society, to hasten, hot-house fashion, the process of transformation of the feudal mode of production into the capitalist mode, and to shorten the transition. Force is the midwife of every old society pregnant with a new one. It is itself an economic power." https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch31.htm When is the US going to denuclearize ? It has thousands of nuclear weapons . It is the only country to ever drop nukes on people ( an East Asian People). Why does the US think it can go all around the world telling colored people's what to do , carry out the White Man's Burden of protecting "natives " from themselves . White supremacy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Man's_Burden the rich nations of the world. (William H. Walker, Life magazine) The White Man's Burden — The United States and the Philippine Islands by Rudyard Kipling Take up the White Man's burden — Send forth the best ye breed — Go bind your sons to exile To serve your captives' need; To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild — Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child. Take up the White Man's burden — In patience to abide, To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain To seek another's profit, And work another's gain. Take up the White Man's burden — The savage wars of peace — Fill full the mouth of Famine And bid the sickness cease; And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought, Watch sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought. Take up the White Man's burden — No tawdry rule of kings, But toil of serf and sweeper — The tale of common things. The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread, Go make them with your living, And mark them with your dead. Take up the White Man's burden — And reap his old reward: The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard — The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!) toward the light: — "Why brought he us from bondage, Our loved Egyptian night?" Take up the White Man's burden — Ye dare not stoop to less — Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloak your weariness; By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do, The silent, sullen peoples Shall weigh your gods and you. Take up the White Man's burden — Have done with childish days — The lightly profferred laurel, The easy, ungrudged praise. Comes now, to search your manhood Through all the thankless years Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgment of your peers!
