Imperialism? My dear, sweet Trotskyite (minus the icepick).
All property is theft, as Proudhon would have us believe?
You have no idea what private property is, how it is earned, how it is the basis for all rights, how no amount of mysticism, tribalism, or statism legitimately transfers ownership of it.
Of course you would negotitate the terms by which the needs of "A" are met by your would-be control over the rights and property of "B". Such benevolence! Of course you would vote to empower those who've accomplished nothing, dictating those same terms to anyone who has accomplished anything. Such egalitarianism! Of course such actions are mandated by a gnostic reading of the Constitution, when the Constitution errs by writing the opposite, as does the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, etc. etc. etc. Such "Enlightenment"!
The present States of the Near East are the full expression of your philosophical ideal. That, and the washroom of a men's prison.
