A-Infos (en) Italy, FdCA: Against Imperialist War for Social Revolution (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

THEand dramatic news reaching us from the Middle East, culminating in 
the Israeli attack on Iran that constitutes the opening of a new war 
front in the area, are the inevitable and expected consequence of an 
"escalation" of proxy conflicts between the main imperialist powers, old 
and new, an escalation further accelerated by the Russian aggression 
against Ukraine that has definitively clarified what is at stake: the 
control of the world market that has historically constituted the origin 
and the end of the two previous imperialist world conflicts. But the 
entire Iranian affair also sees the emergence of a sinister but 
unprecedented aspect: for the first time since the end of the Second 
World War, conventional weapons are being used, for now, to attack and 
destroy civil and military nuclear installations, in the latter case Iran.

In such a context, which sees the dramatic reality of the balance of 
power between the major powers take precedence, diplomacy is 
marginalized and the international institutions themselves appear 
impotent and ridiculed in the face of the crackling of weapons in 
increasingly bloody and involving conflicts. This pushes towards a 
progressive arms race, in the exclusive interest of the war industry, 
now multinational in nature, and of the international finance that 
supports it (just to give a rough idea, Leonardo's shares have grown 
over 100% since the beginning of the year!); war is therefore confirmed 
not only as a destructive force of the environment and life, but also 
and above all as a creator of new capital and new balances of power 
between powers.

The main directors of proxy wars, which involve over 50 conflicts around 
the world, have never stopped fanning the flames of feuds raging between 
national bourgeoisies fighting each other for local, religious or ethnic 
interests.
They are the same imperialist powers that have armed and arm these 
conflicts, providing them with the most deadly war technologies that are 
used against civilian populations, alternating these destructions with 
the old methods of extermination and genocide, starving, thirsting, 
deporting and destroying schools and hospitals.
They are the same powers that dispense hypocritical messages of peace to 
justify a significant resumption of armaments, undertaken through the 
containment of public spending to the exclusive detriment of the living 
conditions of the subaltern classes, who in Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, 
Lebanon and lastly Iran are called upon to massacre each other for 
interests that are not their own, as happens in all imperialist conflicts.
Patriotic chants are ringing across the world, militarism is resurgent 
in schools and throughout society, where mainstream media is siding with 
war, and dissent is harshly repressed.

"Here then the historic slogans of the anarchist movement "our homeland 
is the whole world" and "against the war for the social revolution", 
acquire an important perspective to relaunch the social conflict in the 
workplace, in the study places and in the territories"

But wars mainly affect civilian populations and the young generations 
are sent to slaughter; energy supplies are cut off and war after war, 
massacre after massacre the prospect of a nuclear war becomes more and 
more credible.
In this world context the demonstration of June 21 in Rome against war, 
rearmament, genocide is certainly an important deadline to support but 
the extreme proximity to the nuclear conflict requires a step further: 
to oppose every nationalism artfully fueled by states, governments and 
the bourgeoisies that support them, to seek in every way the 
international unity of the proletariat starting from the battlefields 
fomented by imperialism.

Here then the historic slogans of the anarchist movement " our homeland 
is the whole world " and "against war for the social revolution " 
acquire an important perspective to relaunch social conflict in the 
workplace, in the places of study and in the territories, against the 
interests of capital, against environmental devastation, to defend the 
living conditions of the subaltern classes and their rights which are 
attacked on a daily basis, for peace, for equality and freedom.
