    The fact is that imperialism, the highest and last stage of capitalism, is in irreversable decay. Capitalism long ago hit its limit and dstopped being a progressive motor for technology and culture. Now it destroys much more than it builds and threatens all of humanity with world war and ecological crisis. The only way out was shown by the Bolsheviks in 1917: a world workers Soviet republic!
