The Imperial War Theory Of Lenin

The emergence of Lenin’s imperialist war theory has its specific historical background and theoretical origin.In the confluence of the 19 th and 20 th centuries,production was more concentrated,and capitalism gradually shifted from free competition to monopoly,and entered the era of imperialism.The financial monopoly capital dominated and the contradictions intensified,which led to the outbreak of World War I,causing many social crises and provided an opportunity for the development of the proletariat.The proletariat desperately needed the right theory to guide the revolution,against the imperialist war.On the basis of inheriting Marx and Engels’ scientific analysis of the capitalist nature and the nature of war,Lenin absorbed the relevant theories of theorists in the same period,and founded the scientific imperialist war theory.Lenin believed that the outbreak of the imperialist war was inevitable.Lenin analyzed the parasitic and decadent characteristics of imperialism from the perspective of financial capital,and pointed out that monopoly is the essence of imperialism.Based on this,Lenin concluded that the political and economic imbalance of the imperialist countries was the root cause of the outbreak of the imperialist war.At the same time,the dominant financial capital went to the comprehensive opposition,suppressed the petty bourgeoisie,the proletariat and other forces,bought the trade unions,and made the forces advocating peace weak.Therefore,the imperialist war is inevitable.On this basis,Lenin put forward the effective strategy against the imperialist war,Lenin pointed out to use colonial and ethnic issues to oppose imperialism,the national liberation movement of oppressed nations,called on the international community to establish a broad united front,change the contrast of power,in the domestic imperialist war for the socialist revolution.Only when the oppressed people stand up bravely and fight against oppression can they effectively stop the imperialist war.Lenin’s assertion about the imperialist wars is still correct in contemporary times.Imperialist countries conduct wars with more diversified means,disrupt political power in other countries,conduct economic control economically,form international economic monopoly,control global economic direction,promote cultural hegemony culturally,and conduct ideological infiltration of other countries.Although the means of war in change,but the economic essence of contemporary capitalism is still a monopoly,the socialization of production and production private contradiction between still exists and globalization,so,no matter how the means of war change,in the imperialist countries dominated by financial capital,military means is always the ultimate means to maintain its hegemony,is to safeguard vested interests.It also further proves that the judgment that "imperialist war is inevitable" is not out of date,and Lenin’s discussion still has great theoretical and practical significance in contemporary times.Lenin’s imperialist war theory has a great enlightenment to China’s development.In the face of the threat of imperialist war,we must establish a sense of struggle,enhance our ability to struggle,under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,unswervingly carry out the great struggle,adhere to the overall national security concept,and ensure the security of our country.We must make unremitting efforts to explore the path of building a strong military,and build a people’s army that follows the Party’s command,can fight and win battles,and has a fine work style.More importantly,we need to comprehensively advance major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics,actively build a community with a shared future for mankind,and create a harmonious and stable international environment for peace and development in China and the world.
