Imperialism is not safety

People everywhere want to be safe. We all want to feel secure in our daily lives. In the US, we want to protect ourselves from both terrorism and foreign dictators. To reach this goal, we have invaded two countries in two years.

Is this really Imperialism?

Yes, we are trying to extend our power in the world by invading other countries. Many people think it is necessary to engage in Imperialism to protect Americans. What they do not realize is that Imperialism will make us less safe.

Imperialism causes terrorism

Terrorism is a terrible thing and the people that choose terrorism are wrong. They could and should choose non-violence. Nevertheless, Imperialism promotes terrorism. Preventative invasion makes Americans less secure.

National security is not a zero-sum game

Just as you do not have to oppress your neighbors to be safe from them, the US does not have to oppress and invade other countries to be safe from them. If national security were a zero-sum game, then we would have to make other countries unsafe to provide safety for the US.

Oppose terrorism

Imperialism does not make you safer. The idea that taking power from others will make you safe is false. Furthermore, Imperialism leads to terrorism which makes us all less safe. Oppose terrorism and Imperialism.

Support non-violence

If you really want to change the leadership of other countries:

  1. Do not support dictators
  2. Do not threaten violence
  3. Apply pressure to the leadership
