"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.
Hobsons theory states that clear sighted goals will make imperialism work. He also states that imperialism is selfish (cynical view) and its purely for economic greed.
Vladimir Lenin believed that imperialism is the highest form of capitalism. This was one of his additions that helped create the Marxist-Leninist part of world communism. With that said, Nikita Khrushchev made it clear ( to people that adhered to Lenin's viewpoint ) that by virtue of its predatory nature, imperialism cannot rid itself of its innate position that the way to solve contradictions in the world is by war.
He Believed the more land you had the more power you had.
The idea or theory of permanent revolution was the work of two Marxists, A.L. Parvus and A.D. Trotsky. These men placed this theory as an important one working towards a successful Marxist or Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Lenin rejected the concept and believed as late as 1918, the theory had no merit and was not relevant to the situation in the new Russia.
Marx and Lenin are communist leaders Marx (1818 -1883) and Engels first conceived Communism and wrote the communist manifesto (1848) and capital (1867) and Lenin was the leader of the October revaluation and the storming of the winter palace ie marx created communisum - lenin tried to put his theory into practice
There are a number of historians who believe that none of the basic ideas making up the theory of imperialism were originated by Lenin. It is argued that Lenin borrowed borrowed them from Hobson, and from such Marxist writers such as Rosa Luxemburg and Bukarin.

Lenin argued that people should not speak of imperialism as a policy because the use of the term would imply that imperialism was something that gave capitalism a choice. Thus there was no science to it at all. Lenin argued that imperialism was a natural development that Marx had simply overlooked.
He viewed it as a necessary means to an end when defeating Imperialism.
Lenin held it as the "highest stage of capitalism"
Lenin insisted that in the era of imperialism any sensible analysis of the situation needed to be made on a global scale. His quote reads " From the point of view of Marxism it is stupid to examine the position of a single nation when speaking about imperialism. This is because the capitalist nations are so closely tied together'.

No he didn't. He though Inperialism is a tool for ruling and exploitation.
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.

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.
