So the USA's treatment of Vietnam from 1945 -1975 wan't Imperialist?
Lots of people died in East Timor-THE Rwanda of its era.
2 million civilians killed in North Korea by firebombings in urban/non-military targets. Curtis Lemay is quoted in the book by Richard Rhodes "Dark Sun-the Making of the Hydrogen Bomb" -had the USA lost ww2-Lemay and his colleagues would be considered War Criminals for what happen in ww2 Japan and subsequently in North Korea.
4 Million dead in Vietnam. TWICE the payload of tonnage than ALL of ww2. 4 Million tonnes of high exposives dropped in thousands of carpet bombings.
What ever money and resources the USA has spent in its Imperialist campaigns in Asia/SE Asia/Latin America....the Soviets would also have had to commit the commensurate resourses/man power.
If you don't think what the USA did to Vietnam wasn't blatant fascism-then what was it? Altruism..?
