Lenin described imperialism as the “highest stage of capitalism.” The nature of capitalism and its doctrine of profit maximization mean that imperialism is a process by which capitalists are forced into in search of greater profits in ever shrinking, unstable markets.
The idea of imperialism can be roughly broken down into three main categories: monopolies, finance capital, and militarism. Monopolies Monopolies (in the shape of multinationals) are more powerful than ever before. Fifty-one of the 100 biggest economic units are now corporations rather than countries; and the three wealthiest individuals have more wealth than the poorest 48 countries put together. This process of monopolization goes hand in hand with technology being increasingly controlled by imperialist powers. In turn, the gap between rich imperialist countries and developing countries has become greater and greater. Finance Capital The result of this is that the economy becomes ever more unstable. Militarism. Democratic Socialists of America.

“There are forty-seven states in the Union, and the Soviet of Washington,” Postmaster General James Farley joked in 1936. The remark, for all its exaggeration, had some foundation. The Communist movement, founded in 1919, caught on quickly in the Pacific Northwest, picking up members from the fading Industrial Workers of the World and Socialist Party.
In the 1930s the CP played key roles in the strikes and campaigns that built some of the region’s most powerful unions and used that base to influence other institutions. During the Cold War the issue of Communism and the prominent role of the Party in the affairs of Washington state became a powerful weapon for conservatives.
