War. Objectively, American imperialism plays the first fiddle in the events unfolding in Ukraine now. It is American imperialism that is currently benefiting from the war in the region for many reasons.
But we should also thank the "native" domestic bourgeoisie for this war. The situation in the post-Soviet space deteriorated after the destruction of the USSR so much that Ukrainian (with the political support of the West) and Russian oligarchs began to sort out relations with each other with the help of weapons.
Blood has been pouring in Ukraine for 8 years. And now, very likely, we will see a full-scale military conflict with the mass death of Russian and Ukrainian citizens, the outcome of which is not clear. Although it is already possible to foresee that the impoverishment of ordinary workers in both countries will accelerate in the near future.
In addition, the war is an excellent reason to tighten the screws, strengthen the repressive apparatus, justify further "belt tightening" for workers. A lot can be attributed to the war.
The other day, President Putin, according to tradition, once again accused the Bolsheviks and Lenin of destroying "historical Russia." But the Soviet Union, under anti-Soviet nationalist slogans, promising "spiritual revival" and an increase in living standards, was destroyed not by communists, but by nationalists. The goal of these traitors and counter-revolutionaries who broke into the highest echelons of power was the same - the restoration of capitalism and personal enrichment.
Among them, by the way, was Boris Yeltsin, beloved by the Russian oligarchy. Recall the words he uttered in the US Congress in the summer of 1992:
"Our states represented two poles, two extreme opposites. They wanted to make us irreconcilable enemies, and this had the most tragic effect on the fate of humanity. The world was shaken by storms of confrontation, it was close to exploding, dying and not being resurrected. Now this diabolical scenario is a thing of the past. Reason prevails in the fight against insanity. The period when America and Russia held each other at gunpoint and were ready to pull the trigger at any moment has ended."
"The world can breathe easy: the communist idol, which sowed social discord, hostility and unprecedented cruelty everywhere on earth, which inspired fear in the human community, has collapsed. Collapsed forever. And I am here to assure you: on our earth we will not let him rise again!"
"I am proud that the Russian people found the strength and managed to throw off the heavy weight of the totalitarian system. I am proud to speak here on behalf of a great nation that is regaining its dignity. I bow down to a simple Russian who saved his soul in the most difficult trials and is going to incredible hardships today in the name of the revival of his homeland. Russia has finally made a choice in favor of civilization, common sense, and universal human experience. I am convinced that our people will surely master this difficult path."
Well, how? What are the results of 30 years of capitalism in Russia? you did not want "Soviet totalitarianism", the Warsaw Pact and an economy with public ownership of the means of production? Get NATO at the borders, a "market" with deindustrialization, degradation of everything and everything, unprecedented extinction in peacetime (a million people a year), and now a war of fraternal peoples.
There is only one way to stop all wars on the planet. A revolutionary change of economic formation. There are no other ways.
"Wars with all their disasters are generated by capitalism, which enslaves millions of workers, intensifies the struggle between nations and turns the slaves of capital into cannon fodder. Only the world socialist army of the revolutionary proletariat is able to put an end to this oppression and enslavement of the masses, these slaughterhouses of slaves for the sake of the interests of slave owners." V.I. Lenin.
