“In a series of related projects, Mills proposes a bold empire-building scheme: U.S. annexation of various countries as new noncontiguous states with military sites, natural resources, or workforces  to exploit ‘We are the imperialists of the twenty-first century', Mills writes. 'Let’s stop pretending. Rather than feign that our actions are benevolent, let us function openly as global imperialists whose actions are clearly defined by direct benefit to the U.S.'”.
