Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism
Explains the inevitable flaws and destructive power of Capitalism: that it would lead unavoidably to imperialism, monopolies and colonialism.
Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism by Vladimir Lenin is a hugely significant Marxist text that fully explains the inevitable flaws and destructive power of Capitalism. Lenin argues that Capitalism would unavoidably lead to imperialism, monopolies, and colonialism. He prophesied that third-world countries, used merely as capitalist labour, would have no choice but to join the Communist revolution in Russia.
