“Capitalism .. this bewitched and distorted world ..” > Marx & Engels, 1894, Das Kapital, Volume 3 https://boggartholeclough.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/fobhc-16.2.2020-generating-planetary-health.pdf
“A crime of truly Hitlerian proportions .. The strategy of the US imperialist-led war against Iran is to abolish the 20th century. It is to eliminate completely all traces of the great liberation struggles .. The war began only a few days after Marco Rubio (US Secretary of State, National Security Advisor) declared that his aim was to put an end to the great retreat that began in 1945, that is, with the defeat of the N***s, his heroes .. All the rules, all the normalities of the last historical period are over. Young people find themselves in the type of situation that existed in the 1930s and 1940s. There is no safe haven. We are living now in a historical period in which either the working class comes to power and puts an end to capitalism, or capitalism will put an end to the world .. Gaza genocide .. imperialist wars .. We are in a revolutionary period. We are in a counter-revolutionary period. Which of these two tendencies in the world will predominate ? ‘Struggle will decide’, Trotsky said, in 1932, against the shadow of approaching fascism .. World Socialist Revolution .. Fourth International .. Socialist Equality Parties .. mass anti-war movement .. the very hopelessness of the situation provides the impulse for a vast level of revolutionary determination ..” > David North, 15.3.2026, WSWS World Socialist Web Site > https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2026/03/19/hjsi-m19.html
