Is America an imperialist?

Imperialism is monopoly capitalism, the monopoly stage of capitalism, the highest class and the last stage of capitalist development.

19 At the end of the 20th century, the characteristics of imperialism put forward by Lenin in his book "Imperialism is the Highest Stage of Capitalism" have been shown in all imperialist countries. However, due to the differences of social and economic conditions and historical conditions in different countries, the characteristics of imperialism are very different in forms of expression and degree of development.

America is a typical imperialism.

Because "trust" is the most common form of American monopoly organization, and it is a monopoly organization with a higher degree than cartel and syndicate. The enterprises participating in the trust have completely lost their independence in production and commerce, and have been United into a huge enterprise, which is managed by the board of directors. All capitalists become shareholders of the trust and receive dividends and bonuses according to their shares.

By the beginning of the 20th century, all important industrial sectors in the United States were generally monopolized by one or two or several big trusts, forming the so-called "kings" of various departments. Trust has become the dominant force in American economic life and has mastered the economic lifeline of the country.

The reason why the United States has become a trust empire and a typical country with the most developed monopoly capital is inseparable from the characteristics of its social and economic development. There is no deep-rooted feudal system in American history, with a vast domestic market and abundant natural resources; The United States is a new capitalist country, getting rid of the old fixed capital and making full use of foreign advanced technological achievements, a large amount of funds and a large number of immigrant labor. These conditions enabled the United States to successfully make full use of the achievements of the technological revolution in the 1970s from 65438 to 2009. At the beginning, many large enterprises were established on the basis of the latest technology, which laid the foundation for the high concentration and monopoly of American industrial production.
