During [[World War Two]], [[Germany]] and [[Japan]] could be viewed as imperialistic.  This is also true of [[Communist]] dictatorships such as the [[USSR]] and [[China]] during the [[Cold War]] (and to a certain extent World War II in the case of the USSR).

[[Liberals]] sometimes say that U.S [[foreign policy]] is "imperialistic", when it is in fact not. Similarly, left-wing groups such as Communists tended to refer to America and the Western Powers as "imperialists" when fighting against them, even when they aren't actually that, or at least not anymore, as well as referring to their own actions as being "anti-imperialist" despite being a LOT closer to imperialism due to trying to take over various countries by deception or force (as the USSR did in most of Eastern Europe through direct force and in parts of Africa, Latin America, and to a certain extent parts of Southeast Asia, America and Western Europe through [[sedition]] and [[insurrection]] (with America and Western Europe in particular being done via Soviet-orchestrated riots via the student body such as [[Kent State]]), and as China did in much of Southeast Asia).
