  • If you actually have read Lenins work on the matter beyond the chapter titles, and put the analysis to work on reality, you can not in good faith come to the conclusion that China is imperialist.

    It is immensly frustrating to learn how many people take the chapter titles as some sort of checklist, while obviously not having read any further. Yes, you could construct a checklist for imperialism out of the book, but it would be much more complex than just going by the chapter titles. For example “export of capital” being the title, but the chapter explains that it is importan to look for how the exported capital is used for. So just putting a check behind “export of capital” would be wholy insufficient regarding the detection of imperialism done by an analysed state.
