It's a mythical theory started by a reactionary foreign affairs advisor to the US government.

On a world stage it looks like it, but it's been allowed to perpetuate itself through an coincidental (possibly even controlled) series of events and capitalist imperialism is it's main ally. Unfortunately it is the lens that many in the west view the world.

With the end of the cold war it was necessary to have an excuse to go on imperialist ventures, without it the imperialist nations would have no pretext to build up arms and pillage the resources of third world nations.
