From the first moment Columbus set sail in the direction of the “New World,” to the ongoing Syrian Civil War, the entire history of the capitalist epoch has been defined by imperialist activity.
Though associated with Europe’s industrial revolution, some have argued that capitalism would never have developed without imperialism. Marx himself wrote that capitalism “compels all nations, on pain of extinction, to adopt the bourgeois mode of production…. In one word, it creates a world after its own image.”
Join Philly DSA to explore the complicated politics of imperialist conflict. This week's readings focusing on the earliest years of imperial history; the violence that accompanied the anti-communist fervor of the twentieth century; and the ongoing role of the US military in global relations.
