# Imperialism, the Last Stage of Capitalism/Preface

Preface
The booklet that we here present to our readers was written at Zurich in the spring of 1916. In the working conditions that were then imposed on us, I was naturally without a certain amount of English and French scientific literature and a great deal of Russian literature. However, I made use of the chief English work on Imperialism, J. A. Hobson's book, with all the care that it deserves.
This booklet was written under the censorship of autocracy. Thus I was forced to confine myself strictly to a theoretical analysis, mainly economic, of facts, and only to express the small number of indispensable political observations with the greatest caution, by way of allusions in that "Æsopian" language—in that cursed "Æsopian" language—to which Tsarism forced revolutionaries to have recourse, whenever they took up their pens in order to undertake a "legal" work.
Now that the days of liberty have come, it is hard to read again these pages, mutilated by fear of the imperial censorship, gripped and crushed in a vice of iron. Of how imperialism is the eve of the Socialist revolution; of how social-Chauvinism (Socialism in words, Chauvinism in deeds), is the betrayal of Socialism, a complete crossing over to the side of the bourgeoisie; of the manner in which ​the division of the working class movement corresponds to the existing situation of Imperialism, I have had to speak in a slavish tongue, and to-day I must direct the reader who is interested in these questions to the collection of my articles published abroad from 1914 to 1917, and now in the press, entitled Against the Stream.
There is need, however, to point out the inadequacy in this pamphlet of a passage at the end of Chapter IX., in which, in order to show, in a guise acceptable to the censors, the cynical trickery of the capitalists, as well as of the jingo Socialists gone over to their service (and whom Kautsky opposes with so much inconsistency) in the question of annexations; in order to show with what cynicism they justify the annexations of their capitalists, I was forced to put forward as an example—Japan. The careful reader will easily substitute Russia for Japan, and Finland, Poland, Esthonia, Khiva, Bokhara or other countries peopled by non-Russians for Corea.
I would hope that this little book will help the reader to understand the fundamental economic question, without the study of which modern war and politics are unintelligible—to be more precise, the question of the economic nature of Imperialism.

# Imperialism, the Last Stage of Capitalism/Introductory

Imperialism: The Last Stage of Capitalism
By N. LENIN.
INTRODUCTORY
During the last ten or fifteen years, especially since the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902), the economic and political literature of the two hemispheres has studied more and mare often the notion of imperialism as a characteristic feature of our era. In 1902, a book by the English economist, J. A. Hobson, Imperialism was published in London and New York. This author, who adopts the point of view of social reform and pacifism, identical in the end with the present-day point of view of K. Kautsky, gives an excellent description of the chief economic and political characteristics of imperialism.
In 1910, there appeared at Vienna the work of the Austrian Marxist, Rudolf Hilferding, Finance Capital. In spite of a mistake on the part of the author in the theory of money, and inspite of his tendency to conciliate Marxism and opportunism, this work is a very valuable attempt at a theoretical analysis, as its sub-title tells us, of "the latest phase of capitalist development." Indeed, what has been said of imperialism during the last few years, especially in a great many newspaper and review articles, what was said about ​it in the resolutions of the Socialist Congresses at Chemnitz and Basle (Autumn, 1912), has scarcely gone beyond the ideas put forward, or, more exactly, summed up by the two writers mentioned above.
We are going to attempt to show, briefly and in the simplest way, the connection between and the reciprocal relations of the chief economic features of capitalism. We shall not pause on aspects of the question, other than economic, whatever their importance.

In Recognition of Dr. James Meier of the San Mateo Medical Center
HON. JACKIE SPEIER
OF CALIFORNIA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Dr. James Meier, a dedicated physician in my district who has devoted his career to providing quality care to a generation of the poor and less fortunate in San Mateo County. I have had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Meier for 30 years and have witnessed his passion and dedication to his work.
Dr. Meier took a three-month temporary assignment at the San Mateo Medical Center and stretched it to more than 40 years and counting.
He has worked through the lean years when the county board of supervisors nearly voted to close the hospital. Those votes spurred an effort to raise community awareness of the Center's services. Dr. Meier played a lead role in forming the San Mateo Medical Center Foundation which has helped garner the needed public support to keep the hospital functioning as a provider of high quality medical care.
Dr. Meier's reason for coming to work each day is captured in his positive attitude. He heaps praise on the other doctors, nurses and support staff who combine to make the center a wonderful place to practice medicine.
Madam Speaker, the San Mateo Medical Foundation is right to honor Dr. Meier's contributions in a special ceremony on April 30th. He is without question a hero of healthcare in the county and State.

In Recognition of Dr. Mark Highman of the San Mateo Medical Center
HON. JACKIE SPEIER
OF CALIFORNIA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Dr. Mark Highman, a cardiologist who willingly chose the career path of public service medicine over the more lucrative road of private practice. I feel very fortunate to have known Dr. Highman for 30 years. Clearly, decades of patients at the center who lacked insurance or the money to pay for it appreciate his decision to practice at the San Mateo Medical Center.
He was appointed Medical Director of the Special Care Unit, Vice Chief of Medicine and Chief of Cardiology to the center in 1977. Dr. Highman also is an Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at Stanford University.
The diversity of patients and their medical challenges prompted Dr. Highman to become certified in critical care. He considers treating the less fortunate to be, in his own words, "richly rewarding" and that speaks volumes to what this healer is all about. As a career-long medical musketeer he is the embodiment of the esprit de corps at the center.
Madam Speaker, Dr. Mark Highman is a hero of healthcare to a generation of the less fortunate in our county and State. The San Mateo Medical Foundation is right to honor his contributions at a special ceremony on April 30th.

In Recognition of National Chemistry Week
HON. TIM ROEMER
OF INDIANA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Friday, November 7, 1997
Mr. ROEMER. Mr. Speaker, November 2 to 8, 1997 is the 10th celebration of National Chemistry Week. I rise, today, in recognition of the members of the American Chemical Society who are volunteering their time this week to increase the public's understanding about the important role chemistry plays in the success of this Nation and in our everyday lives. Through hands-on activities, chemical demonstration programs, and a variety of other events, kids of all ages will learn and do chemistry.
The feature activity of the week is a national effort to test water hardness in local neighborhoods. Children are receiving copies of a Planet Chemistry activities booklet through their schools that allows them to be part of the national effort. They then go out and get a water sample from their local stream, lake, or well and use the test strip included in the booklet to determine the hardness of the water, and report their results through the ACS site on the Web. The test strips were produced by a company in my district, Environmental Test Systems of Elkhardt, IN. I am proud to tell you that 2.6 million of these strips distributed in 650,000 copies of the booklet allowed this project to get children all over the country involved.
Volunteer chemists and chemical engineers of the ACS St. Joseph Valley Section in my home district also scheduled events, such as panel discussions and hand-on educational demonstrations, to highlight chemistry for their neighbors. Efforts like these are planned in almost every congressional district throughout the Nation.
Our ability to improve the living standards of citizens in America and around the globe depends upon our understanding of sciences like chemistry. Our food, clothing, houses, cars, medicines, defense--all the things we can see, taste, touch, or smell--depend on modern chemistry. Additionally, those involved in the chemistry field represent the type of skilled, high quality workers that are essential to this Nation's competitiveness.
So please join me, and the 152,000 chemists and chemical engineers of the American Chemical Society, in highlighting the fact that every single thing in our lives is in some way a result of chemistry in action.

In Recognition of the Daly City Youth Health Center's 20th Anniversary
HON. JACKIE SPEIER
OF CALIFORNIA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, April 29, 2010
Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the 20th anniversary of the Daly City Youth Health Center, a health and youth development program linked to the Jefferson Union High School District. Since its inception this facility has served over 37,000 youth and currently provides services to more than 600 teens each month. Clearly, we are a better community because of the dedication, caring and expertise of the center's staff.
The center, a satellite office of the San Mateo Medical Center, offers primary medical care, reproductive health care, mental health counseling, sexuality education, case management of pregnant teens, vocational guidance and life skills training. This center has been highly effective in helping girls and boys from low-income backgrounds where individual needs require a multi-service response.
I would like to point out that over 5,000 teens seek medical services from the clinic during the year and that most of the care revolves around reproductive health. These services are free although staff will work with these young people in terms of helping them apply for health insurance.
The center has been hailed for its development of programs covering mental health counseling, teen pregnancy prevention, peer leadership and the always challenging transition from school to a career. We would all do well to adhere to the center's mission to increase resiliency, encourage responsibility and promote self-determination among youth and young adults.
Madam Speaker, while this body has engaged in long and spirited debate on the issue of health care, it is important that we recognize and honor a 20-year-old program that has enriched thousands of young people in my district.

In Recognition of Dr. Harvey Kaplan of the San Mateo Medical Center
HON. JACKIE SPEIER
OF CALIFORNIA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Dr. Harvey Kaplan who proudly states that he has spent his entire career as a pediatrician. I have been friends with Dr. Kaplan for three decades and have witnessed his passion for those entering the world.
Dr. Kaplan was appointed to the San Mateo Medical Center in 1969. He also is a Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine and a member of the Community Clinical Faculty of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.
In the 1970s he took a special interest in treating children who might be victims of abuse. He says he thought of himself as a pioneer in those days as he helped the center develop an interdisciplinary approach to treatment. He eventually assisted in the establishment of the Children's SAFE Center which was on the cutting edge of detecting and treating child sex abuse. He is now a member of the San Mateo County Pediatric Death Review Team.
Although Dr. Kaplan admits to having a few bouts with the lure of private practice, he says those moments passed, replaced by the satisfaction of providing pediatric care to families that normally wouldn't have access to an array of services. Clearly, this Brooklyn native has been California's gain.
Madam Speaker, the San Mateo Medical Foundation is right to honor the contributions of Dr. Kaplan at a special ceremony on April 30. He has truly been a hero of healthcare for our county and State.

In Recognition of Dr. Stan Rockman of the San Mateo Medical Center
HON. JACKIE SPEIER
OF CALIFORNIA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Dr. Stan Rockman who after 35 years has this to say about his choice to practice public healthcare: "I love providing high quality care to patients with few options." He asserts that the patient mix at the San Mateo Medical Center enables him to practice international medicine.
Dr. Rockman is the Chief of Gastroenterology and was appointed to the San Mateo Medical Center in 1971. I have personally known him for 30 years and have witnessed his passion for healing.
A favorite story of Dr. Rockman's involves the day his 16-year-old son paid him a visit at lunchtime. His son waited in the lobby where he observed a man in a hospital gown dragging himself down the hallway, posterior exposed, an IV still attached to his arm and two security guards in close pursuit--another futile attempt to escape from drug rehab.
Dr. Rockman says his son was in awe that his father worked in a place like this on a daily basis.
Madam Speaker, Dr. Stan Rockman is a true hero of healthcare in our county and state. The San Mateo Medical Foundation was right to honor his contributions at a special ceremony on April 30th.

IN RECOGNITION OF NORWAY'S CONSTITUTION DAY
______
HON. BETTY McCOLLUM
OF MINNESOTA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Ms. McCOLLUM of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the people of the Kingdom of Norway and extend my congratulations to King Harald V, and to Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, as Norway celebrates its national day of recognition of the adoption of its constitution on May 17, 2006.
It was on May 17, 1814, that Norway adopted its constitution, making the country free and independent. The United States and Norway have long had a strong relationship, founded on cooperation on important bilateral and regional issues, as well as on shared values. Our countries are engaged on every level, including on economic, security and cultural matters, in a relationship that reflects a shared commitment to further strengthening our relationship. The strength of our friendship allows our two nations to openly engage on issues for which we might not share a common perspective, and work together to build common ground on issues of great importance to our citizens.
Norway holds a strategic position within the European community, and through its I membership in NATO and the European Union, Norway is a voice of reason in security matters that impact both its region and the world. In addition, Norway is a global leader in providing humanitarian aid to crises around the world, in aiding refugees, and in promoting human rights around the globe. I commend the Norwegian government for the important and life-saving work it is engaged in around the world.
As a Minnesotan, I and many of my constituents feel a particular bond to Norway, as so many ancestors of Minnesotans come from that great country. The strong links that have formed between Minnesota and Norway extend to business partnerships and social connections. Minnesotans also share with Norwegians the strong desire in helping to alleviate the suffering that is a daily struggle for so many around the world. Both Minnesotans and Norwegians feel compelled to act in the name of peace and democracy around the world, and I am proud there is such a strong Norwegian influence in Minnesota.
Mr. Speaker, we should extend warm regards and congratulations to the people of Norway, the Norwegian Government, King Harald V and Queen Sonja, and Prime Minister Stoltenberg as they celebrate the adoption of their constitution. They have consistently been warm friends of the United States, and I look forward to working with the Norwegian people on every level in the future, to ensure that our two countries maintain a strong relationship.
