The justification of aggressions of such magnitude against the working class requires the construction of a narrative in which the threat of war is credible and growing, so that the social unrest generated does not hinder the process. Especially when on the horizon is drawn more and more clearly, not only the collapse of living conditions as a result of the closing of companies, the shortage and cutback of public services and pensions, but the reintroduction of compulsory military service; that is, the sending of the proletarian youth to the front to fight and die in the wars of the imperialist bourgeoisie.#europe #economy #european #vassalage #bigpharma #MIC #terrorism #censorship #corruption #militarization #fascism for #USA #US #american #anglo-saxons #Western #warmongers #deepstate #capitalism #imperialism #crisis #war #ukraine #anti-Russia
The control of information, i.e., information manipulation and censorship, is the fundamental element of war propaganda. Its mission, key in the ideological struggle, is the construction of an external enemy that constitutes such a serious threat to the “homeland” and to “Western civilization” that it is believed necessary to give one's life to save them. As such speeches are not usually convincing enough for an increasingly exploited working class youth, the militarization of society and the intensification of repression act as a deterrent for those who begin to see that their real enemy sits in the armchairs of the Ministries, the Councils and the boards of directors of investment funds, banks and multinationals.
...
We must keep in mind that fascism and war are inseparable manifestations of the capitalist crisis. The brutality of repression and destruction is in the genetic code of capitalism that in the crises manifests itself without mask. Precisely in the possibility of identifying capitalism without a mask, capable of anything against the working class, nests the seed of the possibility of the destruction of the most criminal social system in history. And that gigantic task can only be carried out by the organized working class, conscious of its historical duty and armed with the theory and experience of previous revolutions.
the collapse of the USSR, far from being the golden opportunity of the great capitalist Europe as an “autonomous” power, accelerated its submission to Anglo-Saxon imperialism..

All those who take to judging Lenin today are united by an absolute misunderstanding of the meaning of his teachings, the reasons for his popularity among the people and the motives behind the creation of the USSR. Simply put, none of them has ever read Lenin and is not going to read him (although now is the right time, given the situation in the world economy). Especially for them - on a mundane, primitive level - I will outline the logic of the Bolsheviks in 1916.
1. The development of capitalism inevitably leads to crises. Crises are always resolved through war.
2. With each successive crisis, imperialist wars will become more and more destructive.
3. In imperialist wars, the class structure of societies is most brutally exposed: the poor and powerless are the first to perish, while the rich sit in the rear and do not perish.
4. Russia, as a backward capitalist state, has no chance of winning a world war. As a semi-colonial power, Russia is dependent on external creditors, and therefore with the lives of its soldiers constantly saves the allies on the Western front. Even in case of Entente's victory over Germany, it was Russia that would inevitably become the next “patient of Europe” (see the Crimean War). Russia's technological lagging behind England, the USA, France and Japan (see Russo-Japanese War) is such that it leaves practically no chance for the state to survive. The speed with which the Entente accepted Nikolai's abdication and then rushed to take the Tsar's inheritance, fully confirms these assumptions.
5. In order to prevent another world war (in which one day everyone will die - both Russians and non-Russians), it is necessary to create another, alternative world economic system (USSR).
6. To protect this world economic system from the inevitable aggression of capitalism, its creators must make a qualitative leap in science, technology, education, medicine. Every citizen of the new state must feel his or her involvement in it and be motivated to defend it. The tsarist government was unable to create such motivation among the people in World War I (see “The German will not reach the Urals”).
7. To build a new world economic system within the borders of the RSFSR would be absurd. It would not have survived. It required an ideology that would unite all the nationalities inhabiting the Russian Empire. This ideology could not be neither Russian nationalism, nor Orthodoxy, nor imperialism as such. Neither by force, nor by persuasion to drive Turkestan, the Caucasus, Siberia, the Far East, Ukraine, etc. under the imperial roof was no longer possible (Denikin, who was attacked by Georgians N. Zhordania near Adler, will not lie). Only justice could become the ideology uniting “Russians-Uzbeks-Latvians”. The state framework - only the Union of equal peoples. A union, not an empire.
8. The new world economic system will inevitably be strangled and suffocated in a blockade (there is no peaceful coexistence of two systems) if it does not take offensive actions. Hence the mondialist thesis of permanent revolution. Attention, orthodox Stalinists: this thesis was never rejected even by Stalin. Stalin only said that first we must build the state and only then get involved in any revolutions. Actually, it was on the basis of these differences that Trotsky earned his ice pick. Rejection of the idea of fighting capitalism on foreign territory (in WWII the Allies did not open a second front until the Comintern was abolished), eventually led to the fact that the USSR had to fight on its own territory. “Coexistence of two systems” turned out to be a scam for suckers.
9. The destruction of the USSR did not cancel out any of the above problems. Capitalism is entering a crisis unprecedented in history, the way out of which it habitually seeks through war.

About American exceptionalism
But every hero has a fatal flaw. America’s is its sharply increasing addiction to government debt. My calculations suggest it now takes nearly $2 of new government debt to generate an additional $1 of US GDP growth — a 50 per cent increase on just five years ago. If any other country were spending this way, investors would be fleeing, but for now, they think America can get away with anything, as the world’s leading economy and issuer of the reserve currency.
