It's not that it's dated into being no longer accurate, it's that conditions have changed since it was current. Marx didn't live to see the same heights of imperialism Lenin saw. Lenin did not live to see the consolidation of all competing imperialist powers into one hegemon and several vassals. Lenin is critical and relevant to this day, but we also need to look at how imperialism has advanced.
Agreed. I might have misunderstood. I think black shirts and reds as well as washington bullets are pretty spot on in that regard.

Yep! No shame at all to Lenin, the highest of respects in fact, but he did not live to see the US Empire come to become an even higher stage of empire than what was going on in his day.
