Part 2: As Lenin correctly pointed out more than a century ago, imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, and it is not a policy but a system. Imperialism is the structure of the modern world. Global capitalism requires constant expansion, it requires new markets and new resources. Independent states, such as Syria, that try to maintain sovereign control over their economies for the benefit of their own people, are obstacles to the expansion of multi-national capitalist profits and are therefore targeted for destruction.
