As the history of the twentieth century has revealed, revisionism, being anything contrary to Marxism-Leninism, generally does not sit well with the main stream of of international socialism. This was made evident in the 1960-2 Sino-Soviet split. With that said, the Leninist theory of imperialism asserts, just as Marx's view of capitalism asserted, that capitalism cannot function without leading to crises and revolutionary situations. Both theories rest their optimism on the demonstration that there are forces within capitalistic or imperialistic society that are not bound by vested interests or other fetters of consciousness enough to lead mankind toward a better future. The inevitable doom of imperialism and the existence of revolutionary forces are the center of Lenin's idea.
Lenin argued that Imperialism was the highest stage of capitalism, where monopolies and finance capital dominated, leading to the exploitation and oppression of colonies. He believed that imperialism would ultimately lead to the downfall of capitalism and the emergence of socialism. By integrating imperialism into Marx's analysis of capitalism, Lenin saw his view as an extension rather than a contradiction of Marxism.
