In 1973, Bill Warren introduced in New Left Review the notion that Marx in the "The Future Results of the British Rule in India" (1853) had seen imperialism as a progressive force, a view that, Warren declared, was later mistakenly reversed by Lenin.66 Marx, beginning in the early 1860s, had recognized the way in which colonialism blocked development in the colonies.67 Nevertheless, the notion that Marx, and even Lenin, had adopted the view of Imperialism [as the] Pioneer of Capitalism—the title/subtitle of Warren's book published posthumously in 1980—became a commonly accepted postulate on the left.
