“If we want peace, we must prepare for war”

April 17, 2024

This old guff has been churned out again recently, this time on behalf of the president of the EU Council (press release, 19 March).

But peace can never be guaranteed as long as the world’s productive resources remain in the hands of the capitalist minority. Because the factions within that minority will always be forced to vie for control of resources, markets and trade routes. And when it comes to it, out will come the weapons.

No point wishing things were otherwise. It’s the rule of their deadly game, a game prepared well in advance by their nationalist poison.

So if you want peace, you must prepare for socialism.
