Imperialism of the highest stage of capitalism, Lenin V.I.

No matter how the political situation changes and whatever the attitude to the ideas of Marxism and Communism, V. I. Lenin, is and will remain one of the most famous philosopher politicians in history.

Lenin in his activity paid great attention to the transformation of the capitalist society. Back in the early 1910s, he began the collection of materials for work in which the main economic patterns inherent in capitalism at this stage of development would be presented in an accessible form. For the first time published in Petrograd in April 1917, the book “Imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism” was a direct continuation and development of K. Marx's “capital”. To this day, the work of V. I. Lenin is one of the main ones for describing the economic and political features of imperialism. Its attentive study is extremely important today for discussing and understanding the most important problems facing modern civilization: the degree of adequacy of the main models of Marxism in the analysis of the development and crisis of capitalism; The nature of the Russian revolution and the reasons for the split of the Russian left movement in 1917; the collapse of the official Soviet ideology and the world left movement at the end of the twentieth century; prospects for building a market economy in the USSR; The doctrine of globalization and its ideological cover.
