Terminal crisis is more than late capitalism, it’s too late capitalism. It’s the dying society making way for the birth of the new society. But it won’t go quietly. The ruling classes fall back on their atavistic origins and fight wars to scavenge what is left of nature. But war today intensifies the attack on nature and sacrifices the working people as cannon fodder. Only an international socialist revolution can save humanity from destruction.
In
the Ukraine the Western aligned elite relives the past glories of the white supremacist
European fascism. In Russia the Bonapartist regime of Putin relives the blood
and soil triumphs of the Tsarist empire. Both are symptoms of terminal crisis
In
this issue, read our Statement on Ukraine and our call for an International United
Front Against Inter-Imperialist War. Two imperialist powers – the US, and the
other NATO powers, are fighting Russia over the prize of semi-colonial Ukraine.
Political and economic warfare has escalated to military warfare. In that
situation we are for the defeat of all opposing imperialist powers. This is
called dual defeatism. But who and what will defeat them? Only class war can
defeat imperialist war and open the road to socialist revolution!
By
class war we mean, first, the Ukraine workers and small farmers whose class interest
is to be free from the oppression of imperialism, by forming self-defence
militias and appealing to the ranks of the Russian army and of the Ukraine army,
which is a proxy for NATO, to fight for an ‘Independent Soviet Ukraine’.
Second, workers and poor farmers in Russia and the NATO powers must appeal to
the ranks of their military to refuse orders, unite to launch strikes and
mutinies to cripple the military machines, and fight for Workers and Farmers
Governments in a world federation of Socialist Republics.
Aotearoa/NZ
is embedded in the US imperialist bloc as a weak semi-colony. Its national
bourgeoisie prides itself on its ‘independent’ foreign policy and taking acting
on UN collective security resolutions. But when imperialist wars break out,
Labour and National governments both fall into line with the US bloc.
Workers
in Aotearoa/NZ must reject acting as cannon fodder for the US/NATO bloc that
wants to colonise Ukraine! We must fight imperialist war by joining the
international class war! For an independent Socialist Ukraine! For workers and
poor farmers militias to defend Ukraine! International support for workers
militias fighting for independence from both US/EU and Russian imperialism!
The articles in this
issue about the recent uprising in Kazakhstan and the teachers’ strike in Zimbabwe
also show how imperialism is the main enemy in the global class war. In the
formers, only the independent organisation of the workers and poor farmers can
end the client regime that rules the state on behalf of Russia. In Zimbabwe,
only workers coming to power can overthrow the military regime that came to
power with the support of China.
The Aotearoa/NZ version
of the anti-vax Convoy Camp occupied the Parliamentary grounds for more than 3
weeks before being evicted by the police. It shows how the global extreme right
is taking advantage of capitalism’s terminal crisis to recruit declassed petty
bourgeois and workers as fascist fodder, and why we urgently need a mass
anti-fascist movement to smash capitalism in its embryo!
Finally, we argue that
the first revolution by women 40,000 years ago to create ‘primitive communism’ until
it was overthrown by the Patriarchy 10,000 years ago, has an echo today in the
attack on women by trans ideology to neutralise their revolutionary power.
