Yet the war with Japan was a conflict between two expanding powers over economic spheres of interest. Nor did the defeat of Hitler lead to the end of militarism or genocide.<br /><br /> Choose your war and let your prejudices decide which side is the "goodies" (i.e. "morally right")and who are the "baddies". Was it just to go into alliance with Stalin's Russia and support that murderous regime? And is it okay to roast civilians alive in air raids if they're on the "wrong side"?<br /><br />No matter what the real or alleged atrocities of the "bad" side, however, wars are quarrels over control of territory and resources between different sections of the capitalist class—business rivalry by other means. The working class can have no interest in such matters. The result of a "just" war is the same as a "bad" war — workers are the collateral casualties. The only "worthwhile" war is the class war — the fight against war.<br />There are no just wars - just war.<br /><br />The criteria of a just war were outlined by St Augustine in the 5th century and then by St Thomas Aquinas in the 13th. <br /><br />For a fuller answer, care to read our pamphlet<br />https://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/pamphlets/socialist-party-and-war<br /><br /><br />ajohnstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09874891810770297962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36028082.post-27526940596284413022017-05-29T09:00:05.314+00:002017-05-29T09:00:05.314+00:00 According to you America wasted 4000,00 lives in ...
