American resistance movement which fights against American imperialism

"America's entire war on terror is an exercise in imperialism. This may come as a shock to Americans, who don't like to think of their country as an empire. But what else can you call America's legions of soldiers, spooks and special forces straddling the globe?" :  Michael Ignatieff, New York Times, Jul. 28, 2002

 

"The truth is that neither British nor American imperialism was or is idealistic. It has always been driven by economic or strategic interests". Charley Reese 
  
"Imperialism is an institution under which one nation asserts the right to seize the land or at least to control the government or resources of another people".  -John T. Flynn  

"I do not hesitate one second to state clearly and unmistakably: I belong to the American resistance movement which fights against American imperialism".  - Paul Robeson

Why Israel Didn't Win
