If you live anywhere where a banana cannot grow and get them cheaply, you're benefitting from imperialism regardless of where the banana you actually eat is grown because it's the cheap bananas from those banana republics that determined the market value.
Or you're benefiting from trade agreements and/or cutthroat capitalism.
Mix in a bit of slavery, I too think it's a form of imperialism
Nope, not what that word means.
What's cutthroat capitalism then?
