Thinking About Anarchism Imperialism, in its most basic form involves wealthy and powerful governments using their military power to invade poorer parts of the world in order to impose their control upon them. There isn’t the space to go into all aspects of imperialism here, so I’m concentrating on the military form. In modern times, imperial invaders always claim that their invasions are for the good of the people who they are invading. They claim that they want to bring civilisation, democracy or freedom to the natives. In reality, the imperialist ruling class simply want to extend their power by bringing more of the world under their control and often their motives are as simple as a desire to get their hands on the natural resources of the place that they are invading.
