Imperialism is cool as long as the people doing the imperialism call themselves socialists or communists ๐โโ๏ธ
Imperialism is when you don't concede that a bunch of fascists who fought and lost a civil war and then fortified themselves on an island with the help of foreign powers and violently purged dissenters get to claim to be the government of both your country and other neighboring countries. The more that you spend decades seeking reconciliation diplomatically instead of through military ventures, the more imperialist you are.
