Profits vs peace: War and imperialism

Marxist Voice

Amidst the carnage of the First World War, Lenin characterised capitalism as “horror without end”. Today, the grim truth of that statement can be seen in the proliferation of brutal conflicts around the world from the industrial slaughter of civilians in Yemen, to the intensification of the proxy war between NATO and Russia in Ukraine. In this talk from last year’s Revolution Festival, Josh Holroyd discusses the nature of capitalism today, how it necessarily leads to imperialist domination and conflict between the major powers, and how an end to war might be achieved, once and for all. 📚 You can learn more about the Marxist view of imperialism and war on our website: https://www.socialist.net/marxism-and-war.htm ✊ Join the fight for revolution with the International Marxist Tendency: https://www.socialist.net/join 📰 Subscribe to the Socialist Appeal newspaper: https://www.socialist.net/subscribe 💸 Support the fight for socialism by helping the International Marxist Tendency buy its own permanent office: https://www.socialist.net/donate 🔗 More links and resources: https://www.socialist.net/links
