Characteristics of the Government

The imperialism expand almost to the whole world, the imperialist nations such as France, Great Britain, the Dutch, always have the same reason to go over another nation, power, territory and cheap resources to make products, with this in mind all that nations go to conquer other countries, leaving a lot of consequences, they put they own way of government, they invade any chance to have their own entity.
Lenin points out five basic features of imperialism, which we find useful to mention here, for many movements which call themselves labor party assert that imperialism has changed its basic characters so that Lenin’s analysis of imperialism has become outdated:
“1) the concentration of production and capital has developed to such a high stage that it has created monopolies which play a decisive role in economic life;
2) The merging of bank capital with industrial capital, and the creation, on the basis of this ‘finance capital’, of a financial oligarchy;
3) The export of capital as distinguished from the export of commodities acquires exceptional importance;
4) The formation of international monopolist capitalist associations which share the world among themselves, and
5) The territorial division of the whole world among the biggest capitalist powers is completed.” (Lenin, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, Progress Publishers, English edition, p.84)
One example is African countries, Iraq has issues between its Sunni Muslims, its Shiite Muslims, and its Kurds.  The only reason they are all together in one country is that the British set the boundaries that way. This cause a lot of problem, nobody let in charge, nobody knows how to rule themselves, Great Britain just took what they need and leave, that lets problems grow in the colonies. We just can blame the imperialist nation.
Another example is the animosity between countries that were once imperialists and the countries they once colonized.  For example, South Korea and China both still have somewhat shaky relations with Japan because Japan colonized parts of both countries in the early 1900s.
This examples show us how to be imperialist over a nation means, it means that you will leave a mess after you take what you need, this consequences will be seen until nowadays, and for a long time they will continue.
The imperialist system of government do not contribute to democracy, this private the colonies of exercising their rights as a nation, other countries let you without resources and in crisis, while you are with the arms cross, because you can do anything, you are under control by another nation, more powerful than you, that means you don’t have a choice, you don’t have democracy.
