The Bolshevik Party was based on the ideas of Karl Marx and Frederich Engels. From that viewpoint, the Bolsheviks believed that capitalism was inevitable and was the last step before a workers revolution. The Bolsheviks were impatient however, and although Russia was not a highly industrialized nation with a numerous and strong working class, they believed that a revolution producing a dictatorship of the proletariat was possible.
Imperialism, according to most proponents of its causes, is the final stage of advanced capitalism. There was no advanced capitalism until the end of the 19th century. Even Adam Smith wrote about capitalism only in the late 18th century. Smith had no predictions on how capitalism might develop into imperialism.
Karl Marx argued that capitalism was doomed due to its inherent contradictions, particularly the conflict between the bourgeoisie (capital owners) and the proletariat (workers). He believed that capitalism would lead to increasing inequality, exploitation, and alienation, ultimately resulting in class struggle. This struggle would culminate in a proletarian revolution, overthrowing capitalism and establishing a classless society. Thus, Marx viewed capitalism as unsustainable in the long term, destined to be replaced by socialism and communism.

The reformer who believed that business success was a sign of God's grace was Max Weber, a German sociologist and philosopher. Weber's theory of the "Protestant work ethic" suggested that the values of hard work, thrift, and success in business were linked to the teachings of Calvinism. This idea was presented in his work "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism".
Karl Marx believed that capitalism is oppressive because it exploits the working class and maintains social inequalities. However, he also believed that capitalism has the potential to be liberating in the sense that it can create the conditions for a more equal and just society by generating wealth and resources that could be collectively owned and managed by the workers.
Émile Durkheim was the sociologist who emphasized that individual religions arise from and express the values of their societies. He believed that religion serves to reinforce social cohesion and reflects the collective consciousness of a society.
