An essential understanding of the eruption of imperialist war

 

Hello, This week, the US and UK authorized Ukraine to fire long-range missiles into Russia, crossing a “red line” that threatens to trigger a nuclear response. The alarm must be sounded: Whether or not war has been officially declared, a state of war effectively exists between the US and Russia, the world’s major nuclear-armed powers. Join the World Socialist Web Site and Mehring Books tomorrow, November 24, at 3 p.m. EST for an online discussion with David North on his two most recent books, Sounding the Alarm: Socialism Against War and The Logic of Zionism: From Nationalist Myth to the Gaza Genocide. These books provide an essential understanding of the eruption of imperialist war, above all the US-NATO war against Russia in Ukraine and the deepening genocide in Gaza. Tomorrow’s discussion will review these themes in great depth, and we urge you to register to attend: On Thursday, the International Criminal Court (ICC) formally issued warrants for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated in Gaza. Netanyahu’s guilt is imperialism’s guilt. The entire American political establishment, from the Biden administration and the Democratic Party to the Republican Party and the incoming Trump administration, has supported the Gaza genocide and has united in condemning the ICC decision. But even as the US and NATO ramp up the war against Russia, Washington is threatening retaliation against the International Criminal Court and any country that cooperates with its case. The international working class must build a global anti-war movement to stop the new imperialist redivision of the world and the threat of nuclear war. Above all, this requires a historically grounded perspective to carry out the fight for world socialist revolution This Sunday’s event will provide this perspective and strategy for building a socialist anti-war movement. Register now to attend and receive 25% off both titles, Sounding the Alarm and The Logic of Zionism.
