  • Easy peasy! Scientific socialism posits that capitalism creates the conditions for its own overthrow. Thus, every evil that the capitalists commit ultimately undermines them and leads toward liberation. No matter how hard he tries, man cannot subvert God’s will, and even in attempting to do so he cannot but fulfill it. If liberation is incipient within the logic of the machinery of oppression, does this not imply the existence of a just God?

    The imperialists, in their drive for greater profits, ended up undermining the military power that allowed them to keep control over the world - once again, the internal logic of capitalism drove itself toward its own destruction. The defence contractors consolidated, and every new procurement program became a multi-billion dollar boondoggle. But it didn’t matter, they had won! The USSR was gone, and the world was theirs. The US military would only ever need to bully small countries, and the production rates of advanced weaponry would never be a hindrance to that. In their hubris, they didn’t understand the extent to which they had undermined themselves, and they tried to pull on Iran what they pulled in Venezuela.

    Iran was not a soft target. It was the hardest target they could have picked outside of China or Russia, and it was on the forefront of the military technologies that are the great equalizer in the 21st century - drones and missiles, fired out of hardened underground bases. The Amero-Israeli shock and awe campaign achieved little besides creating martyrs, and the empire was exposed as a paper tiger. They expended precision standoff munitions at an unsustainable rate, cutting deeply into the stocks earmarked for a big showdown with China, and they lost irreplaceable radars and high-value aircraft.

    This is the first anti-imperial war in the modern era. Previous wars were anti-colonial in character, aiming to kick the imperialists out of Vietnam, or Angola, or Algeria. Iran has checked US power across the entire middle east, and the possibility still exists that they will be driven out of the region entirely. Where was the spark that ignited this conflagration blazing across the world? None other than the birthplace of Jesus Christ, Palestine.
