Honestly, I'm glad to see a change. For all my life, I've heard "oil oil oil" behind every US action, and while that might be part of the thing, it's far from the whole picture and her tweet calling imperialism by its name is kinda what we need if you ask me

True, but imperialism is a pretty abstract concept and a general audience always does better to understand what it means concretely. Most people think imperialism means any kind of military conflict between a big country and a small country, not the monopoly stage of capitalism.
