To be clear on the new note, this is largely due to reading the entirety of Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism (which I failed to update on the site as being read) to verify a claim made in one of the Communist Party USA classes, and I've almost completed State and Revolution. These two documents have created a drastic increase in understanding of Marxism-Leninism when paired with what I'd read in Capital.
This has, in turn, clarified to me: 1. I had initially misunderstood some of the concepts (for instance, withering state vs. abolished state) and 2. was far too focused on quality-of-life increases over functionally abolishing imperialism
