Synopsis "On Imperialism & Opportunism"

This collection of texts by V.I. Lenin was originally compiled by the Communist Working Circle, a Danish anti-imperialist group. In the late 1960s, the CWC developed the so-called "parasite state" theory linking the imperialist exploitation and oppression of the proletariat in the Global "South" with the establishment of states in the Global "North" in which the working class lives in relative prosperity. In connection with studies of this division of the world, CWC published these texts by Lenin with the title "On Imperialism and Opportunism."What is the relevance of these texts today? Firstly, the connection that Lenin posits between imperialism and opportunism-that is, the sacrifice of long-term socialist goals for short-term or sectional gains-is more pronounced than ever. Second, imperialism may, in many respects, have changed its economic mechanisms and its political form, but its content is fundamentally the same, namely, a transfer of value from the Global South to the Global North, with the political outcome being that the working class is divided into a highly-exploited proletariat in the South and a working class in the North which lives in relative prosperity. Lenin referred to this better-off section of the working class as a "labor aristocracy." With an introduction by former CWC member Torkil Lauesen.

Vladimir Ilich Uliánov —conocido mundialmente como Lenin— nació en 1870 y marcó el rumbo político del siglo XX con una mezcla de rigor teórico y olfato estratégico que pocos han igualado. Fue el principal arquitecto de la Revolución de Octubre y el fundador del Estado soviético, impulsando una lectura combativa del marxismo que buscaba llevar la teoría directamente a la práctica. Su estilo, directo y sin concesiones, lo convirtió en una figura que todavía provoca discusiones encendidas.

Además de su actividad política, dejó una obra escrita extensa y verificable, donde analiza desde la organización del partido hasta la economía global. Entre sus textos más influyentes destaca El imperialismo: fase superior del capitalismo, un ensayo que disecciona con precisión quirúrgica la expansión económica mundial de su época. También aportó obras como ¿Qué hacer? y El Estado y la revolución, fundamentales para entender la estructura y la lógica de su proyecto político.
