    Country A invades Country B to “liberate” Group A. Imperialism.

    Country C invades Country D to “liberate” Group B. Revolution.

    Brought to you by the mindset of your average Marxist.

      Isn’t a revolution something that isn’t brought by an outer invading force, but by the people of a country?

        Literally Communist countries talk about the exporting revolution.

        Your argument is the exact semantic nonsense I was highlighting.

      A revolution would be Country D invading its own ruling class, no? You’re just describing imperialism twice.
