It’s a metaphor, the purpose of which is to point out that Empires are Bad things that freedom loving American’s don’t like.

You might want to recall such useful historical tidbits like:

• We revolted against the British Empire.
• We liberated Cuba and the Philippines from the Spanish Empire.
• We saved Europe from the Nazi Empire.
• We fought a cold war against the Soviet Empire.

To sum up: Empire=Bad

I hope that clears things up for you.

So was 1984....

BTW, it's almost uncanny how so much of the science fiction written over the last decades has evolved into fact....

Anyway, I think we can draw on history to prove the point.

It's just that now the prospects are Orwellian.
