Imperialism sidebar and other sidebars

Link either to Theories of imperialism (new page) or Imperialism#Theories of imperialism. This could also be combined into a broader "Imperialism" sidebar, which had one section for "Theories/debates" and others for political and other shit. But in my opinion if people disagree on definitions they will probably disagree on what constitutes an imperialist political act. Not everyone can just say "I know it when I see it" - that's imprecise, to me.

See also at Wikipedia: Wikipedia:Template:Imperialism Studies sidebar.

Template:Political economy sidebar here for comparison.

No war is any longer possible for Prussia-Germany except a world war and a world war indeed of an extent and violence hitherto undreamt of. Eight to ten millions of soldiers will massacre one another and in doing so devour the whole of Europe until they have stripped it barer than any swarm of locusts has ever done. The devastations of the Thirty Years’ War compressed into three or four years, and spread over the whole Continent; famine, pestilence, general demoralisation both of the armies and of the mass of the people produced by acute distress; hopeless confusion of our artificial machinery in trade, industry and credit, ending in general bankruptcy; collapse of the old states and their traditional state wisdom to such an extent that crowns will roll by dozens on the pavement and there will be no body to pick them up; absolute impossibility of foreseeing how it will all end and who will come out of the struggle as victor; only one result is absolutely certain: general exhaustion and the establishment of the conditions for the ultimate victory of the working class.

"Israel and South Africa have one thing above all else in common: they are both situated in a predominantly hostile world inhabited by dark peoples."

– Official yearbook of the South African government, 1978[1]

Welcome to Leftypedia!
The online encyclopedia dedicated to providing a coherent platform for leftist politics

Our aims:

  • Document and propagate left-wing theory from a variety of different tendencies, and thus contribute to a more unified leftist movement in which no view is misrepresented
  • De-mystify dense theoretical texts by engaging in direct analysis of primary sources while also providing readily understandable-explanations
  • Create original leftist theory and discourse

In short, to let the left-wing movement do the talking and expound upon it.
