What was Rosa Luxemburg's theory on imperialism?

Answered in Rosa Luxemburg's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

This relentless drive forces capital into contact with pre-capitalist societies, leading to their disruption, exploitation, and eventual absorption, fueling international conflict and economic crises.
