Finally finished Imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism. Needed to watch some videos on it as well because it's a difficult read, so I recommend Red Pen's video on it.

Started reading Historical Materialism by Stalin which is short, but an amazing read to help me understand the Marxism worldview in full.

Keep in mind that imperialism encompasses more than those five points that Lenin made. Consider the whole book and what he's driving at.

I'm trying, I might have to re-read it at a later date.
