Anti-imperialism in the context of Marxism-Leninism is the opposition to states which are imperialist according to Lenin's definition of imperialism as outlined in his work, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism.

People who categorize themselves as anti-imperialists often state that they are opposed to colonialism, colonial empires, hegemony, imperialism and the territorial expansion of a country beyond its established borders.[1] The phrase gained a wide currency after the Second World War and at the onset of the Cold War as political movements in colonies of European powers promoted national sovereignty.
