- “Why do I think war is inevitable?
Firstly, because war is a certain phase of resolving economic contradictions that accumulate in the world system of economic relations, occurring with enviable regularity every century.
And if you look, humanity has not come up with another way out of the various forms, no matter what we call them, of economic reproduction of itself.
Therefore, war does not write off, or, if you like, reset it to zero, it redistributes, it is often associated, as a rule, with a factor independent of a person.
And we continue to try to find a justification, but war, oddly enough, is such a catharsis, a cleansing of the entire system, such a version of economic cleansing, and not by the will of the people, but in spite of it.
Secondly, I believe that a big war is possible in Europe, including, oddly enough, between NATO countries and America."

Ah, Vladimir Rudolfovich, have you already remembered the economic contradictions?
Why didn’t they say between whom these contradictions are accumulating?
Is it not between large national capitals that appear and exist precisely in the capitalist, that is, according to your definition, in the “world system of economic relations”, but the fact that this system is rotten, unfair, you are modestly silent, you do not say that this system, causing wars, urgently needs to be changed, why are you missing this fact?
Without these capitals, that is, transnational corporations, would the inevitability of world wars have sunk into eternity?
Further, it turns out, as you say, humanity has not yet figured out how to avoid wars, that is, resolve these economic contradictions?
But then what about the historically necessary abolition of private property, which gives rise to large capitals, corporations, between which armed conflicts arise due to brutal competition, which is what we see now!?
If there were no institution of private property, there would be no contradictions, no wars!?
Yes, these cyclical world wars do not depend on the will of man, they occur for other reasons, “not dependent on the human factor,” but they depend on the presence of bloodthirsty private property!
The war is a logical continuation of the competition between large national capitals, in our case these are now the largest corporations in America, China and Russia.
Oh, to perceive a war with millions of victims as a cleansing, this is the highest cynicism, because war is only a bloody redistribution of the world, markets, land, mineral resources between corporations, and they don’t care that millions will go under the knife!
And Vladimir Rudolfovich sees in this an economic pattern, a kind of logical, justified purification, whereas this is the horror of humanity, because the bloodthirstiness of private property knows no limit, the suffering of the peoples of the world means nothing to him!?
He does not even try to understand and reveal the root causes of these cyclical world wars, namely, the rotten system that exists now gives rise to wars, change the system with the dictates of insatiable private property, and you will get world peace...
