Expressions of expansionism

Expansionism has a persistent spirit, it transcends nationality, form of government, suffrage. It subjugates and infiltrates a variety of polities and policies. It has language of its own. It expresses its symbology through a rhetoric descending on the vulnerable and the bountiful. There is some analogy to chemistry. A sequence of transformative syntheses.

Every expansionism ends. Often it fulfills a purpose of defending an entrenchment which outlasts the expansions and intrusions of other expansions. Entrenchment being a antonym and a begetter to expansion.
