The "taproot of imperialism" is not in nationalist pride<span>, but in </span>capitalist oligarchy<span>; and, as a form of economic organization, </span>imperialism<span> is unnecessary and </span>immoral<span>, the result of the distribution of wealth in a capitalist society. That dysfunction of </span>political economy<span> created the
social cultural desire to extend the national markets into foreign lands, in search of profits greater than those available in the </span>Mother Country<span>. In the capitalist economy, rich capitalists received a disproportionately higher income than did the working class. If the owners </span>invested<span> their incomes to their factories, the greatly increased productive capacity would exceed the growth in demand for the products and services of said factories.</span>
They did this by obtaining a food surplus. This would allow for specialization, which means there are people in society that are not involved in agriculture. Now it was possible to have soldiers, politicians, priests and artisans, and as a result, have a more complex society.
