Aristotle was in favor of Greek imperialism
"The barbarians, though, have the same arrangement for female and slave. The reason for this is that they have no naturally ruling element; with them, the community of man and woman is that of female slave and male slave. This is why the poets say “it is fitting for Greeks to rule barbarians” —the assumption being that barbarian and slave are by nature the same thing"
