Marx's value theory explains the dynamics of
capitalism from a viewpoint which sees capitalists as
"character masks", mere personifications of capital
who are themselves subsumed to the movement of
competition.  This is the exact opposite of Lenin's
approach.

Lenin's (mis)understanding of Capital is also
undeniably stageist, announcing "imperialism" as a
"stage" of capitalism distinct from the "free
competitive capitalism" analyzed by Marx.
