Because it's fucking fun.

Why are you calling this space 'imperialism'?

Not if it's done socially. And wouldn't you need aliens to conquer, for it to be imperialism? We should try to get along with aliens.

Err, if you don't think that's fun, that's fine. I'm not gonna force you or anything. But I think space exploration (or imperialism, if you want to call it that) is important, and I want to join or found a group that's interested in doing that in a more transparent, decentralized way than what is done these days. I guess we can agree to disagree. Thanks for making me think.

Something somebody else said, is that we should worry about food and shelter for everyone first. So I guess a socialist organization should focus on farming, architecture, and birth control (._.) before doing fun stuff like smartphones and spacecraft.
