I guess what i was trying to say was that all capitalists have imperialist aspirations and/or capitalism eventually leads to imperialism

In capitalism broadly, not necessarily in individual states. Weaker states and every state is a weaker state in the face of the historically unprecedented US hegemony may never be able to achieve that at least as long as the stronger state and its hegemony are intact (things which may take decades to really crumble).

Remember, these things are historical processes guided by material reality. Constrained by it too. The US couldn't become the hegemon it was before WW2 without using a lot of force against other European powers, but after WW2 it assumed the mantle more or less peacefully.
