I think you should jump into the following series of articles and speeches by Lenin before getting back into Imperialism. This is something I wish I had done, as it helped me understand the broader context for how imperialism operates when it comes to underdeveloped nation-states and colonialism.

Preliminary Draft Theses on the National and Colonial Question (1920)
Report on the International Situation and the Fundamental Tasks of the Communist International (1920)
Theses on the National and Colonial Question (1920)
The Right of Nations to Self-Determination (1914)

I appreciate the recommendations, comrade. I'll add these to my reading list as well.
