Hi Paul C:
Yes, now. Look at the direct foreign investment by Sweden's capitalists.
Look at the character of Swedish - trans-national - corporations. Look at
integration of Sweden in EU. Look at financial integration

No, but that drains the term of its _specific_ meaning under capitalism.
You seem to want to maintain its original, _pre-capitalist_, meaning.
Wars, even under the epoch of late capitalism, are only (generally) fought where necessary. The territorial division of the world can often be done through non-military (i.e. strictly economic) means.
