I suspect the theory of imperialism they are referring
to is the one popularized by Lenin (though he, by his
own admission, made no contribution to it.)...That
would be the theories set forth by Hilferding and
Bukharin (and Hobson).  However, I bet that most of
those people will not even know the basics of this
theory of imperialism, let alone the theories put
forth by, say, Luxemburg or Baran.

Here goes a summary:

1) Production and capital are concentrated into
monopolies which play a decisive role in economic
life.

2)  merging of bank capital with industrial capital

3)  exceptional importance of export of capital as
distinguished from the export of commodities

4) formation of international combines which share the
world among themselves

5) territorial division of the whole world among the
biggest capitalist powers is completed.
(Imperialism The Highest Stage of Capitalism, Lenin)
