    Imperialist countries gain the bulk of their wealth from expropriating it from the global south.

    You got a study backing that up?

        Yeah, I think I remember you liking Lenin, I was just curious if you had like, an economic breakdown study or something showing the actual numbers instead of theory.

          The article provides numbers, examples, and cites its sources. It was written in 2021 as well, so this is relatively modern economic data. Please read the article, if I wanted you to understand how imperialism functions I would have recommended reading Lenin himself, rather than an article using Lenin’s understanding of imperialism as a base and elaborating on it with hard numbers.
