No worry, made no such claim. It's about the *source* of the dynamic of 
accumulation under imperialism, which is driven in Lenin's account more by 
*inter-imperial competition* and more in Luxemburg's by the process of 
looting from non-capitalist spheres of economy, society and environment. I 
think Luxemburg holds up better (notwithstanding other errors). Agreed?
