Instead of the Neo-Cons competition against nations, and aggressive wars as foreign policy, the Marxist slogan of 'Workers of all countries unite'! shows a path to the liberation and peaceful co-existence of all countries in the world. This communist slogan, ends aggressive war as any nations foreign policy.

That is the liberation side of the Second World War. Liberation was set as ending aggressive war as any nations foreign policy, and that path forward for all nations is to hence forth be collective agree as democracy for mutual benefit as a path to settling disputes between nations. The UN Charter stipulates that the United Nations comes into being to make war just a long distant memory for the comming generations.

Nuremberg Trials chaired by the U.S. Judge Jackson, wrote into international law that the planning and doing of aggressive war is the supreme international crime on the planet earth, as it sets in motiong a wave of backward reaction throughout the world. He further says it is the supreme international crime, whether Germany does it or the U.s.A. does it. These two international anti-fascist treaties are signed on to the U.S. Constitution and thereby constitute the 'Law of the Land.

The Imperialist Camp headed by U.s. Imperialism is breaking all the anti-fascist covenants and putting in place the discredited millitary methods of the Nazis-fascist Axis powers of 1) might makes right, 2) Unilateralism, 3) Pre-emptive strikes. This is causing more and more aggressive wars to take place, and the result is millions killed throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

The Imperiallist -camp is re-coquoring the world to steal the resourses of other countries. This is why studies of Marxism are relevant to the needs of the workers and all peoples in all countries of the world. Workers of the world, unite!! End pollution wars, not endless wars for more and more pollution.

Restore the matriarchy by implementing 'Gender Parity' as the world's trade unions suggest, natures 50-50 electing.

Re-tool to the renewables such as wind, tidal, and solar power which transforms to electricity, and end the oxygen burn-out to carbon-dioxide that we cannnot life on. Quit coal, gas, oil, and atomic energy as it is destroying the planets livability.

Already the oxygen has been burnt out by 38% and now fossil fuels are cascading CO2 into the atmosphere at a rate far faster than mother nature can return oxygen back. That means the atmosphere is in a mode called 'fail-safe' and the Imperialist -Camp is waring to burn-out more and faster the remaining oxygen. Asphyiation is not liberation it is ending air breathing livability for the planets life.

Marxism seeks truth in the material world and sets programes to end exploitation and destructive practices everywhere. Workers of the world, unite!! You yet have a world to win!!
