Imperialism

In "Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism," written in 1916 during World War I, Lenin explores the inherent flaws of capitalism that lead to monopolies, imperialism, and colonialism. Building on Marx's theories from "Das Kapital," he argues that imperialism represents the pinnacle of capitalism, characterized by international monopoly dominance and capital export, as major powers divide the world. This work remains significant for understanding the historical roots of contemporary global strategies.
