Of course they did, but the imperialists weren't promising "peace, bread, and land" to the people whom they were conquering/enslaving.
Commies say they will give everyone equal wealth, yet the common man gets very little and the elite take the rest. Sounds no different from the systems Commie's supposedly "oppose" (i.e Capitalism, etc).
Take a look at Eastern Europe and former USSR states after the fall of the Soviet Union, Commies left it underdeveloped and in worst cases engulfed in toxic radiation.
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"...that clearly explained the situation in commie countries. AFAIK Imperialists never had to spend millions of dollars to build something like 'Berlin Wall' to keep their citizens in.
