"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

IMO, you should learn how to characterize imperialism, exploitation and socialism in terms of macro-economic indicators.

For example, imperialism is the highest form of capitalism, characterized by the exploitation of an entire country. How would that manifest? Inevitably, there will be disputes between the investor and the state, as contradictions arise between capital concentration/export, and the state's need to provide for their people. This is tracked through investor-state dispute settlements.

I did a post on this a few years ago.

What's notable about China is that despite being the country with the second most imports in the world, it has significantly less ISDS cases as a claimant state, less than Russia and comparable to Greece and Belgium. (circa 2023)
