Imperialism is an objective structure. The divide does not lie 
between "developed" and "developing" countries (not always "nations", 
please let us be Marxists, not every country is a nation). The divide 
still runs between those nations, all imperialist, which enjoy a self-
centered capitalism, and those which suffer from an extrovert 
capitalism.

Of course many countries, from time to time and under the 
guidance/rule/domination of most different classes running usually as 
the head of a front of classes, try to overcome the divide (always in 
the extrovert economies, never in the self-centered ones). The 
results of the different attempts tends to accumulate but every 
failure (and short of socialism, failures are 99,99% certain) implies 
a restoration of imperialist rule in full.

If we get the thing wrong on this, then we lose all our bearings.
