c15.s2.23

In Lasbax's *La France ira-t-elle à un Troisième Empire*¹⁰ we find an interesting analysis of imperialism. This is another political category, which, apparently unchanging, in reality embodies substantially diverse contents in different epochs. Imperialism may be taken as an eternal fact. But ancient imperialism was "single and universal", says he, whereas modern imperialism is *imperium dissocié en individualités nationales*, the imperialism of individual nations, i.e., neither single nor universal. The imperialism of the future is expected by Lasbax to bring back the "primitive unity" but in "a regime of the federation of all the peoples." It will be the "supreme imperialism of total peace."
