Levica (Macedonia)
Lenin was quite right when he said that “war serves as a natural means of eliminating the discrepancy between the growth of productive forces, primarily in the idiotic form of accumulation of capital, on the one hand, and the division of the spheres of influence of financial capital, on the other.”
The era of modern capitalism confirmed to us that international relations are formed between capitalist alliances, based on the economic division of the world on the one hand, and develop certain relations between political unions and states based on the territorial division of the world, struggle for colonies, markets and economic zones on the other hand. Thus, the stage of capitalism developed by the collective West, primarily by the United States, led to a complete economic division of the world, characterised by the hegemony and dictatorship of Western transnational corporations, from military-industrial conglomerates and oil and gas corporations to IT giants and “Big farm”.
The uninterrupted functioning of the dictatorship of capitalism would be impossible without military domination over the common man and the worker – who under normal conditions would naturally not agree to be a slave to the interests of capital. To make this possible, the NATO alliance was formed, which contributes with the power to continuously suppress the sovereignty of individual countries and resort to the use of force and weapons, with the capacity to heat up relations between states and their minorities anywhere in the world, causing division and conflict, which allows ease of managing the new markets.
After the collapse of the Soviet state, the dictatorship of capital took over. A monopolar military-dominated world was created that allowed the necessary Western corporations to dominate world economic power. They acquired the capacity to decide where to create “hot spots” and how to melt the authorities of the states into their servants in any of the countries, after the collapse of the socialist bloc. In 2014, a pro-Western group of oligarchs seized power in Ukraine, finally turning the Ukrainian state into a puppet, primarily of the American oligarchy. Ukraine, following the example of some countries from before, has become the defence line of American imperialism in Eastern Europe.
The outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine rounded off the period of preparation for the open struggle of American imperialism to preserve its hegemony and world order. All this was preceded by a fierce mobilisation of Western countries, all of them as one began to pump the Ukrainian army with weapons, supply intelligence information, recruit mercenaries, and of course the most dangerous, the formation of armed structures under the banner of fascist ideology. The tasks of these imperialist undertakings are dictated by the desire to maintain the hegemony of the West and in the first place the American corporations and the business interests of all the main entities belonging to the structural Anglo-Saxon system of the globalised economy, which, after the collapse of the USSR, stretched its tentacles throughout the whole world.
The situation with the political regimes in the partner countries of Western imperialism shows how easily American democracy on the ground turns into nationalism, and that it takes very little to turn this support into support that openly proclaims fascist ideas and gangs, whose work is always in the exclusive interest of the West corporations. There is no doubt that the current war in Ukraine was initiated by NATO and above all by the United States, as it was before in Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Sudan, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, or Syria. All this at the behest of the most aggressive squads of the business class.
The tensions that are created in the East, in South Korea, and especially in Taiwan, have almost the same characteristics as those in Ukraine, from before the handover of the puppet government, to the final arming and “buying time” for the realisation of the same through the Minsk agreements.
We are witnessing a culmination of fierce political rhetoric, which are expansions of military capacities and bases, and the delivery of huge amounts of weapons by the United States, right around the eastern countries whose governments are in their partnership. If in Ukraine we are witnessing an open bloody war, in the east we have a situation of a cold war, especially the “front” which has been opened by the USA against the People’s Republic of China.
Unfortunately, just as the cold war in Ukraine has turned into a bloody conflict between imperialist ambitions on the one hand and a people who love their freedom on the other, so this heightened rhetoric and weaponry, points to the danger that the cold war in the East will momentarily turn into an armed conflict and the outcome of it will probably have to be decided again by the working class.
The unification of the working class is needed today more than ever, because it represents the pivot and the vanguard which, with its own sincere idea, seeks power to oppose and prevent any outburst of military actions that Western imperialism is ready to take.
The absence of any law or agreement, respect for human life, ethics, or morality, in any of the undertakings of Western imperialism has been demonstrated many times before. An example is Libya, which has turned into a devastated country, Syria as well, and while deliberately doing all this, imperialism trades in human misfortune, where the last atom of energy of the worker is exploited.
Western imperialism and NATO have opened a war on European soil, the cold war with the People’s Republic of China has also opened, while the relations around Taiwan and South Korea are seriously heating up. The working class is aware that the domination of this imperialism must be ended! The idea of creating a multipolar world is currently being imposed as a reasonable solution! The support of the proletariat to the anti-imperialist idea of creating a multipolar world is necessary! We have nothing left but an honest fight for a fairer world and an honest redistribution of the goods that should serve the working people. We won once, We will win again!
