"If it was necessary to give the briefest possible definition of Imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism," Lenin wrote. So as competition on the national level was reduced through mergers, bankruptcies and the tendency toward monopoly, it became increasingly ferocious internationally. Business required the organized power and resources of the state to secure their interests.

Lenin's theory about imperialism was that it was the highest form of capitalism. The bourgeoisie as part of government had no more means of production to control so they went looking elsewhere to take over the means of production of other countries.

What nineteenth century military leader did Lenin use for the explanation of World War I?

In 1915, Lenin drew heavily on the writing of the military ideas of Clausewitz. Especially the areas where Clausewitz wrote about the political side of warfare. In Lenin's work titled Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, Lenin speaks about his theory of wold politics using Clausewitz's ideas. Based on this, cynics claim that Lenin regarded the masses as mere objects for skilled political manipulation.Many hold the view that the Marxist intellectuals created the Bolshevik revolution, and the masses needed intellectual leadership to gain their fair share of political power.
