On the current context of WWIII

Dimitrios Patelis

Things keep getting clearer in WWIII:

1. There is no possibility of a truce or ceasefire. On the contrary, the growing contradictions that gave rise to it, together with the new ones it is bringing to the surface, are leading to the most total and destructive war on a global scale in history. The only certainty is the ineffectiveness of the Axis’ tactics so far.
2. The strategic aim of the axis remains constant: to crush the anti-imperialist, socialist and revolutionary forces of the world everywhere.
3. There are only “corrective” tactical changes to achieve this aim.
4. The USA is playing its own game, as I have described elsewhere, with the new leadership of the more aggressive sectors of the financial oligarchy of imperialism under Trump (trying to split the front of anti-imperialist and socialist forces by buying/co-opting the Russian bourgeoisie, etc.),
5. Shifting the burden of the further escalation of the war to the European Union on all levels: economic, military, human lives, the decision of the EU to respond to its new tasks of militarisation, etc.
6. Thus, everything that could be a potential competitor of the USA in Europe is being cannibalised.
7. The US imperialists dream of regaining their global hegemony by doing the same thing: the tried and tested formula of WWI and WWII: they let Europe fight against Russia, etc., so that they can intervene as overlords on this front afterwards, in order to reap the fruits of “reconstruction” (along the lines of the Marshall Plan) on what is left.
8. The USA is concentrating on its existential enemy No. 1: the PRC,
9. The same is planned for D.P.R. Korea, Iran, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos, etc.
10. They are preparing similar willing idiots for the massacres there in the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America, etc.

This is a tragic anti-utopia in its desperation. It remains unclear what will be more murderous: the success or the failure of this macabre plan. History does not repeat itself. The existing potential for mass extinction of every form of life on the planet argues for the most horrific predictions. Everything depends on the balance of forces, with the global anti-imperialist front proposed by the World Anti-Imperialist Platform becoming the decisive factor for the survival and revolutionary prospects of humanity.
