ParticipantBut these elements of the superstructure do not force states into war. They do, however, serve to hoodwink the workers into taking part.
The second world war had nothing to do with Nazi ideology, although Nazi ideology served German capitalism’s purposes at the time. Hitler was instructed to eliminate the most fanatical believers in Nazi ideology, which he did, because they were an obstacle to the state’s requirements. However, once the war had broken out (for economic reasons), it facilitated the Holocaust, which catered both to ideology and to profit (the exploitation of prisoners for slave labour).
But ideology does not CAUSE war. The most it does is facilitate the atrocities war produces.Thomas_More
