Vladimir Ilich Lenin (1870-1924) is best known for his role in the Russian Revolution of 1917
and the founding of the Soviet Union. Lenin symbolized for many people the principles and
ideas of the 1917 Revolution. In fact, in many ways, Lenin turned Marx on his head by placing
politics over economics when he argued that Russia had gone through its capitalist stage of
history and was ready for a second, socialist revolution.
Here we focus on Lenin's ideas about imperialism more than on his revolutionary strategies. Lenin
developed a perspective on IPE that took Marx's class struggle, based on the mode of production,
and used it to explain capitalism's international effects as transmitted through the production and
finance structures of rich industrial countries to the poorer developing regions of the world. Lenin's
famous summary of his views is Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism (1917).
Marx said that capitalism, driven by its three laws, would come to revolutionary crisis and
suffer internal class revolt, paving the way for the transition to socialism. Lenin observed that
capitalist nations had avoided this crisis by expanding the pool of workers they exploited.
Capitalism, he argued, "had escaped its three laws of motion through overseas imperialism.
The acquisition of colonies had enabled the capitalist economies to dispose of their
unconsumed goods, to acquire cheap resources, and to vent their surplus capital."
In short, Lenin added to Marx what Robert Gilpin has called a "fourth law" of capitalism, which
we might call the law of capitalist imperialism: "As capitalist economies mature, as capital
accumulates, and as profit rates fall, the capitalist economies are compelled to seize colonies
and create dependencies to serve as markets, investment outlets, and sources of food and
raw materials. In competition with one another, they divide up the colonial world in
accordance with their relative strengths.''
To Lenin, imperialism is another portion of the capitalist epoch of history that the world must
endure on the road to communism. According to Lenin, "Monopoly is the transition from
capitalism to a higher system.''
