15 thesis on anti-imperialism<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The people of Iran, Syria, Yemen, Russia, China, etc. are not my enemies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. All the above countries have the right to defend themselves against the aggression of more powerful countries and the proxies of more powerful countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The governments of these countries must act as they do in order to socially reproduce the societies of these countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Imperialism is a total world system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The total world system is anarchistically divided into blocks of capital that produce and socially reproduce for their own immediate interests and not for the interests of society as a whole.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. The United States and the G7 represent one bloc of capital, currently the most powerful bloc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. China is an emerging imperialist power.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Countries like Russia, Iran, Syria,Turkey, etc. represent regional powers that contend for more power within a total imperialist system, again, marked by competing capitalist blocs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Communists are against the total imperialist system and not merely one or another competing imperialist bloc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Communists struggle for the military defeats of their own home countries in order to ripen the opportunity for revolution where they are.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Point 10 may be different for Communists in countries that are defending their self-determination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. The anarchy of capitalist production marked by a system of competing blocs of capital, in fact, creates some of the main opportunities for Communists for revolutionary advances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. To make such revolutionary advances Communists must maintain their own autonomy and initiative, even in countries fighting for their self-determination from more powerful countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. The main responsibility of Communists in imperialist countries is to foster the defeat of the home imperialist country militarily and work to ripen the opportunities for revolutionary advance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. On an international scale the goal and responsibility of Communists is to end imperialism as a total world system, meaning more than only U.S. imperialism, but all imperialist powers – whether old and consolidated or emerging or regional powers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
