Wrong.

I'm making an argument about history that is based
upon history.

Are there no historical examples of imperialism
without capitalism as the mode of production?

Was not Alexander's adventures in the Middle East an
example of imperialist domination?

Since when does imperialism presuppose a partnership
with industrial capitalism?
