      Let me get this right.

      You don’t think the British East Indian Company’s conquest of India was imperialism either?

      Because it wasn’t technically the state doing it.

          You know what, I deserve this conversation. I’ve trolled people with “It can’t be imperialism because we’re a republic” before, this is just karma.

          On the off chance that you’re not just trolling, no, it isn’t, because your definition sucks and is deliberately limited so you can be a pedantic yet incorrect twat about some of history’s greatest crimes.
