” In regard to the backing of Israel to Russia, it is not new that capitalists have made temporary alliances in order to advance their own geopolitical interests, the western powers and the soviets made temporary alliance with the Nazis, the fascists, and the soviets, and then they became enemies.
The question is what are going to say those groups who support Russia against Ukraine, or vice versa, and the groups that support Iran against Israel ? That is the importance of taking an independent socialist stand.”
And earlier: the Pope supported the Protestant William of Orange against the Catholic James II.
“… Trotskyists and Leninist groups who also support that theory instead of supporting the socialist logic.”
Of course, Bolshevism is all about punishments and “identifying individual enemies.” Just look at Mao’s “Cultural Revolution”, based on blaming individuals and punishing them. No materialist understanding at all!
The reason for such beliefs as Sadean villains behind the scenes is that believers are not materialists.
Idealism is the belief that ideas come first, out of thin air and without material antecedents.
It is the old “battle between Good and Evil” where everything has to be a manufacture. Where everything is guilt and sin.
Dick Dastardly rules in the playground, boys and girls. Batman to the rescue!So what is your explanation, comrades, for Trump changing position vis à vis Russia time and time again, like a shuttlecock batted between Putin one day and Graham, Starmer & Co. the next?
Well, Trump can stay in power (and alive) by NOT pressing the button. If he presses it, he will be neither. I think he knows that. He doesn’t want to play golf underground.
My geography teacher in school was in his nineties at least. He had been a drummer boy in the Boer War, told us the Chinese had pigtails so we could grab them when they tried to run away, and still thought Germany was ruled by a Kaiser – yet he, bless him, had more sense than the military buffoons today recommending air raid sirens, gas masks, bunkers and public regimentation to “be prepared” for a nuclear attack!
These overgrown kids (although anything but harmless) are still living in the 1940s and haven’t the slightest idea of a nuclear reality.
My “obsession” is fear, and I would say anyone not feeling it, and who is unperturbed by current events, is someone without normal reflexes or sensibility.
Naturally I seek consolation from those in the party who are better informed and are convinced it is all just fearmongering. My only fault is subjecting myself to current reports on the news, and party comrades have helped me by explaining that WW3 is very unlikely.
I am not obsessed with “Armageddon”, and if appendicitis suddenly hit me, nuclear war would immediately disappear from my mind at that moment, as would Marxist dialectics or the French Revolution.
Nothing to do with any “death wish”, but more to do with venting their lifeling frustration, misery and hatred on “the foreigner.”
Militarists’ frenzy over summit.
We humans are only on the verge of truly relating to those sharing this planet with us. Are we to let capitalism destroy that possibility too?
