Subject: Development of Marxism post Lenin  The development of the most fundamental basics of the critique of capitalism ends with 1918. China has created national specifics. the analysis of the fundamental laws and historical tendency of capitalist accumulation really end with _Capital_ ; Lenin writes on how Marx's predictions have come true in its imperialist phase , which has new characteristics. After Lenin the main change that must be integrated into Marxism is the impact of the existence of the Soviet Union and the first socialist countries . Imperialism restructured itself because of that as in ending interimperialist rivalry . Anti-Sovietism became the main new characteristic of imperialism. Otherwise, Lenin's concepts of monopoly capitalism , finance capitalism , merger of finance and industrial capital with finance dominate is truer today than in 1918. A big piece of evidence of that was the 2008 crashes. Paulson went to the White House and ordered Bush to bail them . GM and Chrysler had to go to Congress on the hotseat and beg. Graphic proof of the dominance of finance over industry .

Otherwise , dialectical materialism , which encompasses all science has had enormous developments in the various sciences , though formal logic and dialectic give the most cogent understanding of naturalism as Engels predicted . The contradictions of quantum mechanics have been explored by the Marxist physicist Boehm. Evolution is patently dialectical. Oh I have written a paper that is a women's liberation critique of historical materialism but based on Engels and Marx's fundamental ideas.
