It was a progressive force, like capitalism, not a force for good, but inevitable.

Every form of capitalism becomes pointless at the precise moment that socialism becomes possible in the society.
I think all thoughtful communists have to concede that the advancement of capitalism through imperialism was good in the sense that it indisputably allowed for the construction of socialism whatsoever, and possibly even accelerated it.

I wouldn't say imperialism was inevitable. If we look at the French Revolution, the French revolutionary was still able to curb stomp the feudal armies just with industrialization and mass mobilization and if the Hébertists (that was most revolutionary wing that wanted to drown class division in blood and a dictatorship of the urban working class) was able to spread the revolution like they wanted to then then the French Revolution stopped capitalism before it got that far.

Like what Indonesians did in 1928 imperialism can also boost self-determination.

Lol no. The earths untapped natural resources coupled with the amount of unused land found all over the planet would make imperialism economically inefficient and an easy way to make enemies quickly, if a country becomes imperialistic that represents a problem with the inefficiencies of the system that country operates under along with a decay in technological growth
