Abstract

“… But (the Western European Capitalist countries) are not completing this development [towards socialism] as we previously expected they would. They are completing it not through a steady ‘maturing’ of socialism, but through the exploitation of some states by others …” -Lenin, Better Fewer, But Better (his last article), 1923. “… There are two types of capitalism — capitalism of the imperialist countries and colonial capitalism … In the colonies capitalism is not a product of local conditions and development, but is fostered by the penetration of foreign capital.” -Trotsky, speech at the 3rd anniversary of the Communist University of the Toilers of the East, 1924.
