What a joke! Imperialism flourished due to corporates being allowed to own their own private armies. The US is the best example of a country that exists for, and is run by corporates - and that happened because the older European powers clamped down on corporates, and they fled to the US.

This comment is a lot of nonsense, but this takes the cake. America has always had more powerful private interests than Europe.
