War is the Essence of Capitalism: How Capitalism Thrives on the War Economy With or Without a War
Posted on December 28, 2011
Capitalist society demands wars, internally and externally. Every single aspect of capitalist culture is based on the military concept; rush hour wars, shopping wars, media wars. So long as capitalism thrives, war will thrive. So long as those in power see humanity as nothing but tools for profit, then they will sacrifice us to the war machine over and over again.
To kill the war machine, we must mobilize our minds, we must refuse to accept national identities and demand universal visions. So long as patriotism creeps into the hearts of the poor, then war is inevitable: the war on the self, the war on identity, the war on life.
Capitalism is a disease and this disease manifests itself more clearly in the ascension of the fascist war machine. Generals and commanders, corporate CEO’s and billionaire henchmen, are all extension of the war machine. Do not be shortsighted, do not think of war as an event that takes place in a distant land, the war on the people takes place every single day.
Every single hour, the ruling elites, the rich, and their media puppets launch wars on our minds and visions. Every single day, we are stuffed with commercial-bombs, bombarded, crushed, destroyed, humiliated. We cannot end the wars abroad; we cannot halt the war machine, until we defeat the enemy class at home. We cannot end wars, until we end the system that allows the thieves to profit from the bloodshed of the poor and weak.
We cannot end wars, until we end the apartheid systems in every single country, where a tiny minority sucks on the blood of the people.
Capitalism is war. The history of capitalism is the history of war and exploitation. Warfare is merely the final stage in the desperation of the ruling elites to maintain power and profits. We cannot destroy the war machine until we destroy the system that allows the children of the wealthy to profit from the death of our children. We cannot end war until all citizens are reeducated, to see the world more clearly through the lens of working class consciousness.
Those who profit from wars must be prosecuted. Those who lobby governments for war must face the international courts of law. Those who use the media to push for wars that slaughter innocent children, must be treated as enemies of the human race.
