Will to power

Protests in Melilla: The Revolution of the Unemployed | Clarissa's Blog

Expansionism IS will to power in a fundamental sense. Nietzsche was in principle opposed to Marxist materialism because he focussed on "excess" rather than "deficiency". So whereas the Marxist would say it is necessary to expand our empire to cope with our deficiencies in terms of material wealth, a place to store our population, and so on, Nietzsche would say expansion happens when a certain power is busting at its seams and just has to expand to express that power.
