In England, the Green Party—a party of the radical petty bourgeoisie—shows a lamentable (intentional?) ignorance of the historical interests of the working class, and acts as a poison to the British workers movement. It is a party which claims to defend a generic and ill-defined “Palestinian people”, without highlighting that a bourgeoisie is clearly present and rules in Gaza, which became very obvious when at the height of the massacre perpetrated by the Israeli State, it bloodily repressed the courageous protests against the Hamas government, a.k.a the Islamic Resistance Movement. [...] Gaza today has the largest number of child amputees as a proportion of their population in the world, and in the West Bank we witness the nasty process of ethnic cleansing unfolding before our eyes with colonists, flanked by Israeli soldiers, intimidating Palestinians live on TV. Opportunism utilizes these tragedies to channel anger and resistance into maintaining capitalism.

It is in this environment that dozens of American soldiers, unable to either resolve the contradictions of continuing to fight a bourgeois war for blatant resource exploitation or, as a class, consciously formulate a response to them, have chosen to commit various acts of nihilistic, legalistic, or otherwise petty-bourgeois and individualistic rebellion in lieu of class organizing. Military health and support organizations have reported surges in applications for “conscientious objector” status as these soldiers witness the rotten fruits of inter-imperialist war. A 25 year high in these applications was even reached as a result of the deep unpopularity and obvious moral quandaries of striking civilians. March through to August saw multiple instances of the use of graffiti on U.S. military bases’ bunker walls, ship hulls, and naval aircraft disparaging the Trump Administration and the State of Israel for their hands in the conflict; and earlier in September, eight U.S. sailors attempted to commit suicide, two of them by throwing themselves off of their ship. Thus, we see the beginnings of a spontaneous defeatism among rank-and-file soldiers that must be encouraged and directed toward proletarian ends. [...] Individual gestures, despair-induced abstention, and interclass pacifism are each a dead end. Graffiti is simply washed away; soldiers lost to wartime casualty or suicide are “mourned” and casually replaced; words are easily ignored. The class-collaborative mass marches of the "democratic opposition” and opportunist parties, which beg the bourgeoisie to be “less warlike” and appeal to its elections, courts, and Congress have never stopped an imperialist war and never will. War is the necessary outgrowth of capitalism in its imperialist phase, a cycle of construction, production, and destruction, the blood and refuse of exploitation staining its floors, walls, and machinery every step of the way, and it will end only when capitalism is ended.
