Engraving of Lenin busy studying

Economic and Philosophic Science Review

Only he is a Marxist who extends the recognition of the class struggle to the recognition of the dictatorship of the proletariat. This is the touchstone on which the real understanding and recognition of Marxism is to be tested. V. I. Lenin

No 1330 3rd April 2008
Counter-revolutionary MDC stunt against Zimbabwe further exposes the fake-“left” — from the Trot reactionaries supporting the Western plotting to the dire influence of soft-headed Stalinist revisionism which leaves the entire post-1945 anti-imperialist struggle without a decent revolutionary perspective and understanding of world capitalist economic and political crisis, the driving force of all history. Relying on bourgeois elections is always a recipe for disaster – proletarian dictatorship is vital for socialism

No 1329 20th March 2008
As Great Depression implications of capitalist economic turmoil begin to bite on tens of millions, imperialism’s stunt provocations against workers states like China (over Tibet) or Cuba, will get tougher for CIA etc. to provoke. Raging unemployment, bank failures and inflation will show even shallow petty bourgeois the true nature of the “glitzy” West – a sordid dictatorship of incompetent Nazi warmongering with police state repression of the laughable cosmetic joke “freedom and democracy” and spiralling turmoil and chaos. Leninism alone consistently warned of this catastrophe, the world war plans of the ruling class to escape it and the rebellious world upheaval and potential revolution it is generating. Leninist revolutionary leadership is way out, to overturn stinking monopoly capitalism and establish planned socialism. Fake-“left” derision of such perspectives and refusal to tackle past errors and misleadership rightly being left high and dry by crisis. Building Leninist party is crucial task

Open declaration of genocidal “holocaust” intent against suffering Gazans further confirms the Nazi logic of the Jewish-Zionist occupation of Palestine – and imperialism behind it. But the powerful and determined struggle of this persecuted people is both confirmation of, and inspiration for the giant tide of rebellion which imperialism is creating everywhere by its depravity and which will grow constantly against imperialism’s centuries of exploitation. Devastating slump will tip over into Leninist revolution

Press hyping of the US election circus cannot undo the deepening disillusion in, and suspicion of, the rotten hypocritical “democracy” fraud growing in every country – and the underlying hatred of the out-of-time imperialism and its tyrannical exploitation. Rapidly deepening signs of the Great Depression to come as capitalist crisis can no longer be staved off by yet more worthless paper dollar creation will teach the working class bitter lessons in the futility and misleadership of reformist “Labour” and fake–“left” pressure. The need is for revolutionary politics, the only solution to the world war destruction which defunct capitalism is dragging mankind back into again.

No 1326 23rd January 2008
Credit collapse and Stock Market turmoil confirm Leninist insistence that capitalism is a system of endless slump and war heading for total catastrophe which can only be solved by revolutionary transformation to socialism – not parliamentary change and accumulating reform advocated in practice by all the fake-“lefts”

No 1325 2nd January 2008
Pakistan and Kenya eruptions powerfully confirm that growing world rebellion is underway against imperialist domination and the sick warmongering depravity being used to try and keep control for US imperialist rule. The upheavals will grow hugely as the capitalist crisis, which is driving world turmoil, deepens rapidly into Great Slump, forcing tens of millions into penury. But Muslimism, tribalism and anarchic revolt attracting the poor, will not suffice in the end to overturn for good the capitalist system which alone will transform the world – a fight for revolutionary Leninist theory is crucial

Brownite sleaze and floundering is another sign of the onrushing capitalist crisis, reflecting catastrophic economic disintegration and hammering defeats for early imperialist warmongering. But the ever mounting debt and inflation disaster of the dollar dominated world will not let up – pushing inter-imperialist conflict ever closer to all out trade war slump disaster and World War Three. Revolutionary upheaval already begun via assorted ideologies must return to consciously fought for Leninist rationality eventually to end imperialism

‘Respect’ fragmentation and conflict reflects the real turmoil in the world which is leaving all sides of this rank opportunism high and dry. Trying to fool workers with yet more illusions in bankrupt left reformist promises is a losers game after a century of “Old Labour” trickery and even more so as the greatest capitalist disaster in history continues to unroll towards economic catastrophe and all-out war destruction. It is the rising tide of Third World rebellion which is where movement towards revolution is to be found against the disasters that is all the imperialist ruling class can now offer the world.

Turkey and Pakistan entanglement adds to the growing problems of imperialism as disastrous Iraq and Afghanistan warmongering quagmires stretch endlessly on.

West uses artificial “democracy” stunt laced with sanctimonious hypocritical “freedom” lies to wind up hatred against yet another potential “axis of evil” victim for warmongering aggression and anti-communist propaganda. Look out China too – potential next victim of a repeat Tiananmen provocation in time to disrupt the world-impressing Beijing Olympics – just as the first followed earlier dress-rehearsal in Myanmar (Burma). But bourgeois “democracy” no longer inspires anyone except die-hard petty bourgeois. Key purpose of the CIA trickery is to divert attention from the rapidly deepening economic crisis of capitalism recently confirmed by subprime mortgage credit black hole panic. Marxist Leninism predicted all this. Only answer is revolutionary overturn of capitalism

No 1320 18th September 2007
Desperate market panic “credit crunch” turmoil underscores consistent warnings, only from Leninism, that capitalism is headed for catastrophic slump collapse and disaster, merging into inter-imperialist aggression and world war. The growing ferment of “terrorism” and “insurgency” worldwide reflects the spontaneous revolutionary upheaval against the disastrous plunging of the ossified imperialist system into chaotic horror to outdo even the Second World War, and the general maturing of total rejection by the Third World billions of their endless repression and poverty level exploitation by the fat-cat west. But Western might will keep on stepping up ruthless terrorising blitzes – already winding up against Iran – until its overthrow. Dumbed-down philistine rejection of rationality and reason in the working class needs confronting to build Leninist scientific leadership

“Credit crunch” market panic yet another signal of the total crisis that capitalist imperialist existence comprises – and more confirmation of desperate disintegration facing the ruling class and driving it towards World War Three. But even if there is temporary Stock Exchange “recovery” the great decline continues into warmongering world destruction and conflict as the “Arctic oil rush” also confirms. Deepening defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan may have temporarily paralysed US imperialism but the only direction it can go is widening the torturing shock-and-awe to maintain its dominance through slump collapse. Leninism is crucially needed.

Brownite shysters’ fraudulent “new broom” lies about Blairism – brought down by world defeat – about “democracy”, about economic slump disaster hurtling at capitalism like an express train and about the growing world hostility to the foul warmongering oppression that is all imperialism can now give the world. World “terrorism”, however tragic, signals growing resistance and will not be stopped by punishment, more war and more blitzing.

Explosive resolution of corrupting Abbasite stoogery in Gaza a telling expression of the dialectic of imperialist crisis, pushing revolutionary understanding closer to the surface. Further imperialist siege torture and stooge bribery will rebound in conditions of growing world political crisis for the entire capitalist order heading for terminal collapse into warmongering chaos and destruction. Palestinian response is a telling symptom of the worldwide transformation of ordinary people no longer prepared to suffer the degradation and tyranny of the profit making system – a massively optimistic sign of revolution to come – the only solution to oncoming mayhem. But the need for conscious scientific Marxism is paramount

No 1315 7th June 2007
Revolutionary science is the best and only defence against the tide of brainwashing lies and mendacity daily poured out by imperialism to step up is crisis war drive. Monstrous demonisation of Sudan, Iran, Myanmar, Zimbabwe and other “rogue” states goes beyond routine imperialist bullying, to whip up the atmosphere for World War Three, the destructive end point of the ripening economic and social crisis of the outmoded profit system. Dire revisionist capitulation to imperialism’s sweeping condemnation of growing world anti-imperialist insurgency struggle, as nothing but “terrorism”, misleads the working class. Leninist clarity needed for leadership

No 1314 22nd May 2007
Ditching Blair solves nothing for the British ruling class, worst placed of all major imperialists to handle oncoming crisis conflict and trade war. Their only strategy is to try and ride the coat-tails of US imperialist warmongering, helping pump out the sea of disinformation and lies about “rogue states” ready for the next escalation which is inevitable despite ever deeper setbacks and defeat so far in Iraq and Afghanistan. Being “sure” of Brown’s warmongering compliance means further tearing up democracy illusions. Imperialism needs war to solve its crisis - only revolution will stop its degeneracy.

Inconsequential Scottish and local elections reflect deepening cynicism to all parliamentary lies. The reality of warmongering capitalism is class dictatorship becoming ever more openly fascist as the crisis of the system pushes it ever further towards destructive Third World War to “solve” its problems. Worldwide rising tide of anti-imperialism paralyses the West in defeat but it will be driven further into war. The need for revolutionary theory and leadership grows ever more urgent

British Navy humiliation is a mark of how badly imperialism’s war drive has been shattered by the rising Third World hostility and resistance (which the fake-“left” continues treacherously to ‘condemn’) .

Iran impotence for British imperialism underscores how devastating setbacks to imperialist arrogance in the Middle East are taking a toll. Imperialism has no choice but to continue to push warmongering as the only solution to slump contradictions which continue to intensify. Iran remains a prime target. But the increasing difficulties throw up major questions about how the warmongering finally breaks and how the inter-imperialist conflict underlying capitalist crisis is getting nearer surface as monopoly US grip is loosened. Marxist science ever more vital

Mugabe defiance is a correct response to monstrous anti-state stunts organised and provoked by western “democracy” frauds – the grotesque colonialist hypocrisy underlined by real violence constantly perpetrated by western stooges everywhere from Pakistan to Egypt. But the greatest devastation of imperialism is in the warmongering still festering in Iraq and Afghanistan and planned for escalation to get capitalism out of its “overproduction” slump crisis due. Fake-“lefts” more exposed by their capitulation to western stunts. Leninism is vital.

No 1309 6th March 2007
Hesitations over the anti-Iran war drive are just that – pauses by a setback imperialism not a change in direction. All history and Marxist understanding shows that imperialism has no choice but to plunge ever deeper into warmongering destruction, and if not Iran then on another demonised target with the major trade war capitalist rivals the end point in renewed general World War. Crisis will accelerate mass world resistance but revisionism remains a huge blockage to building vital Leninist understanding. China still revisionist and not yet just another imperialist rival

More troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, despite ever worsening mess created by imperialism and its increasing humiliation, underlines its unstoppable war drive, now being stepped up with Nazi threats, intimidation and provocation against Iran. Peace marches alone cannot stop this turn to war which is inevitable within capitalism – and without revolutionary perspectives they are a major diversion from the urgent need to overturn capitalism, the only way to halt war

Sweeping world rebellion against imperialism’s accelerating slide into warmongering disaster is already a ‘mass’ movement and inflicting devastating blows on imperialist domination. But it faces pain, turmoil and confusion, and potentially huge setbacks, for as long as it does not build conscious revolutionary leadership based on rational scientific Marxism. There is no other route for historically outmoded capitalism than the slide into Third World War. It can only be stopped by revolutionary overthrow which demands Leninist revolutionary theory.

Deranged Bush troop “surge” into Iraq quagmire against most ruling class advice only makes sense with a Leninist perspective which grasps the world warmongering drive being forced irresistibly onto imperialism. The same catastrophic crisis driving more Baghdad blitzings is pushing the US war drive into Somalia and stepping up the Nazi provocations against Iran, increasingly looking like the next victim. But the biggest conflicts are to come – between the giant imperialist rivals. Pacifist illusions can stop none of this but world mass resistance must grow with every further tyranny – and the fight for Leninism

Cynical Blair blind-eye to Saudi arms dealings further exposes the reality of capitalist “democracy and law” as a monstrous fraud along with renewed torture, prison camps and worldwide warmongering. Without the obstacle of Stalinist and Trotskyist confusion the working class would already have shaken off all illusions in the “parliamentary way” and understood that only revolution will end the now deadly plunge of the world back towards Third World War and slump disaster, the only perspective for capitalism (as renewed Thai economy fears show yet again). But the oppressed Third World is spontaneously turning to revolution anyway – underlining even more the urgent need to re-build Leninist philosophical grasp which will become ever more vital for leadership and the building of socialism

No 1304 11th December 2006
Blair’s “intolerance” is racism and scapegoating to wind up the nazi atmosphere for further warmongering. Dollar slide tells the real story of incipient slump disaster which underlies the drive to world war which capitalism must continue despite its defeats and setbacks in Middle East. Leninism is crucial to overturn this destructive degeneracy.

Assassination and intrigue are grist to the lurid diversionary mill of capitalist distraction and its unproven finger-pointing, part of its non-stop Big Lie propaganda to whip up racist and chauvinist hatreds, add to general confusion and prepare for trade war conflict and further warmongering. But the real story is that its shock-and-awe blitzkrieging to evade the intractable capitalist crisis has run into the buffers, with a defeat of epochal significance in the Middle East and strengthening of international anti-imperialist resistance all around. But the system continues warmongering which will only stop when capitalism is overthrown. Leninist clarity and open debate is vital.

No 1302 10th November 2006
Electoral meltdown reflecting growing worldwide defeats for US shock-and-awe blitzings will further hamper the US neocon fascist agenda for imposing capitalist crisis on the rest of the world. But “democratic change” is an illusion and the “Democrats” as much part of the ruling order as the Bushites, changing nothing about imperialism’s overall plunge into Third World War mayhem. Whatever pullout there is from Iraq, – is down to insurgency and resistance not morality and will be replaced by more warmongering as soon as capitalism can get its breath back. Only revolutionary struggle can end the continuing destructiveness of imperialism. Leninism is ever more vital.

No 1301 24th October 2006
Splits and infighting in the bourgeois circles reveal the impact of worldwide anti-imperialist struggle, imposing disastrous defeats on the brutal warmongering which is capitalism’s only “solution” to its historic crisis. The “terrorist” struggle will only continue to grow as the crisis finally tips into disastrous trade war and debt collapse and increasingly will create conditions for building rational Marxist understanding. Foul anti-Muslim scapegoating will not save imperialism but only expose further the reality of the Goebbels Lie of “democracy and parliament” as stinking oppressive dictatorship.

Western dog-that-didn’t-bark-in-the-night response to Thailand coup speaks volumes about the reality of its posturing about “democracy and freedom”, which is used only to foster the warmongering and tyranny that is capitalist rule. But the defeats and quagmires of the “shock and awe” attempts to impose the growing capitalist crisis on the rest of the world are helping create ever greater disquiet in even the conservative middle class. It must get ever deeper as the entire world finally wakes up to the need for revolution to overturn defunct capitalism.

Labour leadership squabbling reflects the profound defeats inflicted on imperialism and its warmongering “solution” to the deepest crisis ever for its now worldwide, and almost universally entrenched, profit-making exploitation system. Blair’s closet Mosleyite tailending of US neocon fascism is causing such deep disquiet, even the scummiest “left” opportunists (who tolerated years of civilian blitzkrieging and secret prison camps) now need to do something to maintain credibility.

Worldwide impact of imperialism’s stunning defeat in Lebanon via its proxy Zionists continues to grow, shattering the “Israeli” colonists, and the Bush/Blair axis; exposing European imperialist “buffer zone” UN collusion; hugely strengthening Middle Eastern anti-imperialism, rousing support throughout the Third World; and exposing further the fake-”left” class-collaborating condemnation of militant leaderships like Hizbullah.

Zionism and its US/UK imperialist backers have scored an own-goal of historic proportions by murderously blitzing Lebanon and attempting to strangle Gaza. Hezbollah’s determined guerrilla fighting has humiliated the invaders, showing how anti-imperialist resistance is rising on a world scale. The entire planet is now choking on the monstrous, lying defence of ‘Israel’ - which is a fascist occupation, not a country - and Washington’s lying “war on terror” has been utterly compromised by the stench of collusion with Zionist conquest.

Zionism’s escalating slaughter and massacre of women, children and anything else that moves – whatever its connection or lack of it to resistance, anti-imperialist militancy or “terrorism”, - will only intensify the hatreds and determination that will eventually overturn its depraved Nazi collective punishment order. And the Bush-Blair knee-jerk approval for the Zionist outrages will teach even deeper lessons to the masses worldwide about the depraved reality of all imperialist “democracy and freedom”. The huge revolutionary transformations that were produced 20 years ago by Zionist monstrosity have bitten them now – and ten thousandfold changes will follow now. The need for Leninism grows more urgent.

Western tacit collusion with Zionist Palestine blitzkrieging is on a par with western Nazi support for Hitler in the 1930s. But the more monstrous capitalist “democracy” shows itself to be (its real and permanent nature) the greater will be the rising tide of Third World anger and hostility to the endless exploitation and tyranny of imperialist monopoly domination. Palestinian militancy grows ever more determined despite, and because of the genocidal Zionist murders, sieges and outrages against it. But all of imperialism is heading towards greater and greater monstrosities, the only answer (warmongering) the system has to its rapidly deepening crisis. World resistance is already causing defeats of imperialist arrogance in Iraq and ever more in Afghanistan. Leninism vital.

Imperialism’s gruesome family massacre in Haditha, not the maverick “terror” resistance of Al-Zarqawi, is the real barbarism in Iraq – and it is imperialism which is the source and cause of all such mayhem everywhere. It is the Haditha events which will drive forwards further rebellion and revolt and not Zarqawi’s capture that will end them. But the growing world revolt against imperialism’s torturing oppression will add to the crisis pressures of a terminally out of time system driving it ever further towards World War Three as a solution. Only revolution can stop the destruction and transform the world for the building of a rational future. Leninism must develop.

Local election meltdown is a failure of the capitalist parliamentary democracy fraud, not simply New Labour. No “change of leader” will save the scuttling Labour opportunist rats who have backed the whole warmongering, fatcat-supporting degenerate circus for nine years. Blairism hangs on to impose further closet-Mosleyite fascist dictatorship, needed to keep British imperialism tied in behind USA neo-con warmongering, the only strategy the bankrupt ruling class can devise to save its skin, tailending the US. Anti-Iran and Sudanese Goebbels lies are kept on the boil for the next victims once the crisis lurches again. But the world ferment of rebellion is growing as crisis deepens.

Under "treason" laws support for the Vietnamese struggle would have been illegal; for the bomb-using anti-apartheid anc; and for the Palestinians. No matter what British troops do — bombing tiny Serbia, beating prisoners in Basra, death squad shootings in Gibraltar, suppression and torture of the Irish, — or strike breaking — you must support them, or else. Such nazi thought policing exposes the big lie of capitalist "free speech" — "democracy" is dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and forceful suppression of all objection, resistance and organisation. But the denial of the "oxygen of publicity" did not work in occupied Ireland, where the ira disarmament now follows its victory, and now it demonstrates only the weakness and panic of a ruling class facing defeat and humilation in Iraq and Aghanistan, and its biggest world crisis ever.

Now for the REAL POST-WAR western imperialist conspiracy — the story of how against the whole direction of postwar ANTI-colonialism in the world, the Palestinian NEAR-EAST was DELIBERATELY given to Western Jewish monopoly-imperialist interests for permanent COLONISATION and for subsequent TOTAL and PERMANENT NAZI-CONCENTRATION-CAMP DOMINATION, which will never end until the fascist-Jews and their US NAZI-imperialist mentors are DEFEATED by PALESTINIAN REVOLUTION —— soon (historically speaking).

Is any kind of 1930s imperialist-fascist war resurgence at all possible??, — given the totally philistine warmongering-aggression mood into which the American Empire has sunk, and to which much of the "intelligent, civilised, Western world " is continuing to turn a blind eye?????

Now historically anticipate World War III. The Kerry half of the American Empire only offered an even more ruthless "international war on barbarian terrorism", but what is that but WWIII when the sole issue is Western fears over the collapse of the world economic "free market" system (i.e. Western monopoly-imperialist world domination), its hatred in the East and the entire Third World and the West's fears that 800 years of world history is about to end bloodily and nastily, — as the West's own "free press" admits in the small, less propagandist print and TV admissions of the real truth about the world, away from the warmongering bombast and armsrace industrial might and greed-arrogance.

"Kill the barbarian terrorist" - American Empire's dumb response to Bin Laden message. But with over 400 post-1945 world-control wars, armed coups, and police-destruction "punishments" to its credit in pursuit of its own selfish imperialist interests, and with 100,000 to 200,000 women and children bombed to pieces as "collateral damage" by the Western Occupation since the Iraq invasion began (not even including Fallujah massacres), just who are the "barbarian terrorists"??

Warmonger Blair gives philosophical green light to World War III; and the brainwashed anti-communist world half cheers, or misses the point altogether. Neocon WWIII intentions build up plainly towards a crescendo.

Blair's desperate "new war" idiocy will collapse ignominiously if military defeats in Iraq continue. The insane propaganda scapegoating of "terrorism", like it was some alien force instead of merely a way of violently resisting unwanted imperialist occupation, will also fail if the hugely costly military blitzkrieging continues to get nowhere. The reluctant bourgeois "opposition" to the warmongering will play a temporary role in the further disgrace of the imperialist Western system, demolishing Blair's "integrity" as a substitute for denouncing the whole rotten colonial-imperialist warmongering racket. The EPSR's Marxist-Leninist line of constantly emphasising the ultimate revolutionary end of capitalism in social and economic breakdown vindicated against a sick outbreak of cynicism.

The "natural" instinct to think of stopping any more Beslan-type outrages by stopping the terrorists is ignorant, cowardly, and doomed. Such tragedies can only be stopped by the revolutionary overthrow of the Western imperialist system. As civil-war acts of all kinds proliferate, it is a sign of monopoly capitalist class society disintegrating and a clear summons to conscious revolutionary theory. Revisionist nostalgia trying to justify Putin's neo-imperialist stance is only cementing the USSR's death from Stalinist theoretical deg-eneration. Combined with "condemnation" of terrorism, it plays right into the hands of the dedicated anti-communist "left" press. US atrocities, driven by fear of defeat, remain the real talking point, not the CIA gloss about imminent Middle-East victory for the American Empire in all fields of endeavour. Is it as debt-junkies who know they are going to their doom that the neo-cons are still mindlessly claiming "certain triumph"???

PERSPECTIVES 2004.
Victory or defeat in the Middle East for Western imperialist domination will remain the most immediate and universally-observed indicator of trends in the international balance of class and national forces, deciding civilisation's future. But by already turning to aggressive warmongering and xenophobic hysteria in the midst of an unresolved global over-production economic crisis which can threaten destruction to ANY capital conglomerations at any time, — the "free world" leadership has long ago given the game away. The out-of-date international system of grotesque inequality, ruthless exploitation, and racist belligerence can only degenerate towards ever-worsening warmongering-terrorism, and ever-more-explosive revolutionary chaos.
