Lenin that argues capitalism inevitably leads to imperialism as financial capital seeks new markets and resources. Published in 1916, the book critiques monopolistic practices and the economic underpinnings of colonialism, suggesting that imperialism is not merely a geopolitical strategy but an inherent consequence of capitalist development. Lenin identifies key features of imperialism, including the concentration of production and capital, the emergence of financial oligarchy, and the division of the world among capitalist powers. This analysis positions imperialism as both a vital stage in capitalist evolution and a catalyst for revolutionary change, drawing a direct line to the fate of working-class movements worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003ePrint Length: 124 Pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Underground Canon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58114155315535,"sku":"UC-BK-MFT-007","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1025\/7177\/0191\/files\/Imperialism_2C_The_Highest_Stage_of_Captialism.jpg?v=1782971142"},{"product_id":"whatistobedone","title":"What Is to Be Done?

Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In \"What Is to Be Done?\", Lenin argues that the working class will not spontaneously become political simply by fighting economic battles with employers over wages, working hours and the like. To convert the working class to Marxism, Lenin insists that Marxists should form a political party, or \"vanguard\", of dedicated revolutionaries to spread Marxist political ideas among the workers. The pamphlet partly precipitated the split of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) between Lenin's Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks and is perhaps the hallmark of Leninism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrint Length: 176 Pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Underground Canon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58114170618191,"sku":"UC-BK-MFT-009","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1025\/7177\/0191\/files\/what-is-to-be-done-cover.webp?v=1782971301"},{"product_id":"essentialworksoflenin","title":"Essential Works of Lenin","description":"\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eAmong the most influential political and social forces of the twentieth century, modern communism rests firmly on philosophical, political, and economic underpinnings developed by Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, later known as Lenin.
