And analytically, writers did not distinguish between a major industrial power that felt emasculated by a punitive peace treaty (Germany) and a developmentally backward nation that believed it was encircled by imperialist enemies (Russia)--just as one does not distinguish medically between a king and a peasant when they both have the flu. Totalitarianism was a disease that threatened all.

Both the United States and the Soviet Union were officially anti-imperialist; each accused the other of being imperialistic. That capitalist countries inevitably turn imperialist was Communist dogma since the time of Lenin. That Communism is an ideology committed to expansion and even world conquest was a rationale frequently advanced in American foreign policy debates.
