In your opinion, does this article give a decent definition or Imperialism?; because I actually don’t have as good of an understanding of Imperialism as others, I will fully admit.
Let's see. The article is basically concentrated on the Lenin's list, and in this it is not bad (certainly better than most of what western left produces) with some points being good, and some points missed - for example points about corpos and banks apparently assume that China is country of the dictatorship of the bourgeosie, which is false. He also heavily concentrated on size rather than structure, which is pretty much faulty since there are small imperialist countries.
Conclusion in point 5 is correct - Russia is a capitalist state but far from being imperialist.
