It is thus a form of exporting poverty, creating an exclave of lower social class. Lenin contended that imperialism had prevented increasing class polarization in the developed world, and argued that a workers' revolution could only begin in one of the developing countries, such as Imperial Russia.
Apostrophes are punctuation marks that are used for a variety of purposes. Two of the main uses of apostrophes are for forming possessives and for showing where letters have been omitted in words.
The apostrophe (â or ') is a punctuation mark, and sometimes a diacritical mark, in languages that use the Latin alphabet or certain other alphabets. In English, it serves three purposes: 1  The marking of the omission of one or more letters (as in the contraction of do not to don't). For groups of years, the apostrophe at the end is unnecessary, since there is no possibility of misreading. 2  For this reason, some style guides prefer 1960s to 1960âs and 90s or â90s to 90âs or â90's. 3  This use of an apostrophe may be more acceptable in American than in British English.
