Re: [Marxism] What is a subimperialist?

["rrubinelli" <rrubinelli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How about plain old "capitalist"?  In that capitalism always involves,
sooner or later, the export of capital, whether as commodities or
"distilled" exchange value, i.e. financial instruments, to other
regions, areas, countries.

Brazil certainly qualifies as capitalist and in this regard,
imperialist-- as does China-- bother exporting capital,  to other
countries as investment and ownership for the accumulation of profit.

seems to add nada to "comprador" while being obfuscatory because it begs
confusion; "subimperialist" could be read to mean "little" and opposed
to "big" imperialist nations rather than national elites of sub-first
tier nations who function as junior partners to larger, more powerful,
first tier imperial nations.
