The term imperialism was coined by ~~Lenin~~ Hobson, and it's definition has remained constant for over a century. It's actually liberals who have tried to flatten and bastardize it's definition to hide the inevitable systemic nature of their crimes against humanity. The fact that you were introduced to the wrong definition first doesn't make it the right one.
Imperalism wasn't coined by Lenin, he built off of Hobson and used Marxist analysis. Just a minor correction.
