This article examines the relationship between globalization and imperialism, the dynamics, contradictions, and crisis of global capitalism, and its political-military arm the imperial state, the developing and maturing class struggle, and the prospects for social change and transformation of global capitalism. It examines these within the context of the globalization of capital in the 20th century and draws out the political implications of this process for the future course of capitalist development on a world scale. The article drives home the point that contemporary neoliberal globalization is in fact an advanced stage of capitalist imperialism, and that the contradictions of 21st century globalization are thus a projection of the contradictions of capitalism on a global scale, with all its inherent exploitative characteristics and conflicts that will lead to the revolutionary transformation of capitalist society.
