When it comes to the big contradiction between monopoly capitalist countries, Foster goes against Lenin's work on imperialism:
"Following the 2007–2009 Great Financial Crisis and the continuing rise of China, Barack Obama instituted his 'Pivot to Asia.' This was followed by the New Cold War on China initiated by the Donald Trump administration, which was carried forward by the Joe Biden administration." The China-U.S. contradiction is an objective consequence of capitalist development. Foster, like a liberal and like Gandall on this list, can only argue "who started it" and "who is the aggressor" – just like the social democrats in Germany and France and England and the U.S. who pushed workers to the slaughter in World War One. Bellamy Foster is with them and against the Lenin who stood with the workers of these countries and who led the Russian working class to overthrow Kerensky and take the country out of the war. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
