Yes, in the way I and my skin or I and my skeleton are "both the same."
One might say that imperialism is the mode of existence of capitalism.

However one phrases the identity, it is still necessary to see that
conceptually capitalism and imperialism may and must be separated for
analysis.

One important reason for this is tactical. It is possible to organize
larges numbers of people against imperialism who do _not_ see the "two"
as the same, and who could not, to begin with, be mobilized under the
slogan of anti-capitalism.
