Default Re: What's the difference between colonialism and imperialism?

The Communists constantly ranted against imperialism, but some considered the Soviet Union an empire. Indeed, doctrine and practice indicate that that's what it was. (Obviously, it didn't last.) Apparently, the lesson of history is that all empires eventually collapse.
