I might be wrong, it's been years since I read it, but didn’t the communist manifesto praise capitalists for globalizing the world? In fact, I remember it going on to say that while capitalism did a good job globalizing the world, we can and need to go further with communism... I would think this is in line with imperialism, not against it. They had an issue with class wars, not country boundaries.
