Imperialism must be seen, and systemically analysed, within the problematic of a coordination between political phenomena - violence, domination, control, state power, class - and economic phenomena - the market, investment, exploitation, capital expansion and profit, finance, crisis.
“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” —Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilisation and the Remaking of the World Order, 1996, p. 51
