War-business as usual

The disgusting slaughter and destruction of war continues in the Middle East, Ukraine and less visibly (at least via mainstream media) in other parts of the world. For sure, some of this madness may be caused by the difficulties and distractions of career politicians, but the context will always be the competition between capitalists for control of trade routes and territory (raw materials and markets). No amount of wishful thinking will change this situation, nor will it end the appalling waste of human effort and resources that are sucked up by the war industries.'

As the SPGB has repeatedly said throughout the last 120 years, if you want peace, help prepare for socialism.'
