Leninism was a major deviation from the ideas of Karl Marx

The communist movement has from the very beginning been an international movement . The international solidarity of the proletariat is the basic guarantee for the victory of the people 's revolutionary case in all the countries of the world , of the case of the national liberation of the oppressed nations , and of the peoples ' struggle for world peace . In the interests of the socialist countries , of the proletariat and working people of all nations , of the liberation of the oppressed countries , and

of the protection of world peace , we must at all times strengthen the international solidarity of the proletariat .

Lenin also believed that imperialism was the highest form of capitalistic exploitation and thus the success of the proletariat revolution demanded the extension of the revolution to other countries (Lenin 47
