The provided article argues that the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the escalating tensions leading to a potential war against Russia are direct consequences of a profound and systemic crisis within global capitalism. The author draws a parallel to the periods preceding the two World Wars, asserting that capitalist powers are responding to their internal crises with a strategy of external aggression and internal repression. This strategy manifests as military intervention and conflict abroad, alongside policies designed to suppress dissent and maintain control within their own borders. The central claim is that capitalism, facing its inherent contradictions, resorts to war as a means of resolving its economic and political impasses, both domestically and internationally. The article emphasizes that these conflicts are not isolated events but rather interconnected symptoms of a decaying global capitalist system.
