I’ve briefly read about the definition of imperialism according to Lenin but I’m still a bit fuzzy on the difference between them.

    Thanks for the explanation, it was hard for me to link them together because I only started reading Lenin’s definition of imperialism and didn’t see how they were related.

    I like the formulation of “capitalist-imperialism”, “slave-state-imperialism”, “mercantile-imperialism”, “feudal-imperialism” to be more specific about the production system.

    that’s a good way to tell them apart. It was hard to understand how capitalist-imperialism was related to “imperialism as empire” as @redtea described it.
