Socialism and the fight against war
With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, United States imperialism envisioned a “unipolar” world in which its economic and political will would reign supreme. From Iraq and Afghanistan to Libya and Syria, the US has pursued a policy of destruction and regime change that has decimated whole societies, and left over a million dead in Iraq alone, in its quest for control over resources and governments. Now, in preparing for “great powers conflict” with Russia and China, US imperialism, along with its imperialist cohorts, is leading the globe to the precipice of World War III and possible nuclear annihilation.
In A Quarter Century of War (2016), David North examines the historical forces that impel the US in its reckless and homicidal strategy of permanent war. With the penetrating acuity of Marxist analysis, North is able not only to explain the recent past but also to identify the tendencies that will shape the near future.
"The last quarter century of US-instigated wars must be studied as a chain of interconnected events. The strategic logic of the US drive for global hegemony extends beyond the neocolonial operations in the Middle East and Africa. The ongoing regional wars are component elements of the rapidly escalating confrontation of the United States with Russia and China.
Not since the end of World War II has there existed so great a danger of world war. The danger is heightened by the fact that the level of popular awareness of the threat remains very limited."
