First of all, it was a joke. Wangster is my dog. I disagree with him on his point, however.
Secondly, to me (but not on a technical level) capitalism goes hand and hand with imperialism, and imperialism generally entails the exploitation of a group at the hands of an oppressor, therefore I extended the tag of imperialist to Wangster. Knifefight knew what I meant.
Do you grade AP tests or something?
