The Empire's capitalist directorate seem to be preparing to launch numerous wars to extend their control over vital resources and to counter any resistance from independent nations with their own capitalist gangs such as Russia and China. Capitalist gangs, like all gangs, rely on their ability to control territories through the use of force or an intimidating threat of force. As activists in service to save humanity from this folly, we must be aware of what is happening in order to effectively organize counter measures. Piascik in this article warns us about the current efforts of the directorate to glorify war so that they can once again enlist our support for their nefarious causes.
Summer approaches and the stench of war is all around. Or, as the great Bob Marley put it, Everywhere is War. Start with the commemorations over a five-week span of Memorial Day, Flag Day and Independence Day, all presented varyingly as celebrations of our war dead, symbols of our greatness, the freedoms we love so dearly and seek to export to every corner of the world and, perhaps most important, the unquestioned rightness of our cause.
In reality, the celebrations are of imperialist war, with the talk about the hallowed dead just so much cover for the murderous nature of US foreign policy.
