How to use imperialism in a sentence?

1. Sir Denison Miller:

   This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world. By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished.

2. Spenser Rapone:

   I would encourage all soldiers who have a conscience to lay down their arms and join me and so many others who are willing to stop serving the agents of imperialism and join us in a revolutionary movement!

3. Kristjan Prikk:

   We have very little illusions when it comes to Russian imperialism and what this may mean for countries in its vicinity.

4. Nicolas Maduro:

   We don't accept ultimatums from anyone, it's as if I went to the The European Union and said,' I give you seven days to recognize the republic of Catalonia or if not, we will take measures.' No, no. International politics can not base itself on ultimatums. That is the epoch of imperialism or colonies.

5. Spenser Rapone:

   I would encourage all soldiers who have a conscience to lay down their arms and join me and so many others who are willing to stop serving the agents of imperialism and join us in a revolutionary movement.
