    Is there not a difference between an imperial country and the imperial core? Imperial Japan was an imperial country but not part of the core, was it not?

      It's a useless analysis as the "core" has changed over time and the "core" we now understand didn't exist prior to ww2

      Tsarist Russia was an imperialist country

      Japan was an imperialist country

          Actually no for this analysis Lenin and Stalin not lining up with succdems (and instead ruthlessly exposing them) is what he did within the imperialist nation he lived in and so the material circumstances are basically the same
