Capitalist imperialism — particularly under its leading proponent, its most brutal practitioner, and its bloody global enforcer, the U.S. — is a high stakes casino where those with chips to play have few options but to put them at risk. In a real democracy, the people could choose a different system. In the US the so-called “democracy” is in reality a brutal two-party ruling class consensus on capitalist imperialism which maintains imperialism to ensure capitalism and the interests of its elites. Whether it is this crisis as it affects the ruling class or any of those to come, or whether it is the perpetual crises faced by working class people (including current and retired state employees, of which I am one), neither ruling class party offers a solution. Capitalism must eat and imperialism must feed and protect it. The answer is not in Republicans vs Democrats, the two ruling class owned political machines which run the country as a two-party dictatorship. The answer is, as Rosa Luxemburg said, “Socialism of barbarism”. Workers of the world unite! Educate, organize, mobilize and fight for the world we want, one not subject to the casino games and war scenarios of the bosses and the politicians.
