Totalitarizmin Kaynakları 2 - Emperyalizm

Arendt devoted the second volume of her masterpiece, The Sources of Totalitarianism, to imperialism. Arendt's view of imperialism is not just for fun, it is truly "original" and different. In particular, it is different from the perspective of classical Marxist approaches, but it is not completely disconnected. Is imperialism a result of the expansionist nature of the capitalist economy in terms of power and the aggregative, or rather "collective", nature of the capitalist economy in terms of resources? Arendt's answer to this question is a completely dismissive "No!" It is not, but it is the product of an approach that distributes the emphasis to other points: Imperialism is a result of the corruption of the modern age, especially the nation-state, and moreover, it is a result that rapidly enlarges the factor, that is, accelerates the corruption that created it.
The second volume of Sources of Totalitarianism not only blends the theoretical plane in the context of imperialism, but also extends to country-region examples and even portraits of people who will not be remembered fondly. And Arendt's analytical view, which is known (or we hope it is known) can bring vigour to fixed views.
