BREAKING OUT OF THE DARK TRIAD’S WAR DOOM LOOP

BREAKING OUT OF THE DARK TRIAD’S WAR DOOM LOOP

Why does so much of humanity continue to support a political economy that places lifeless money above life itself, profit above people’s social needs, and competition above cooperation? A system of a few exploiters and many exploited, a few extremely rich and the vast majority poor. Support continues despite the murder of over one hundred and fifty million citizens in ever more brutal, destructive, and genocidal wars since World War One.

Wall Street’s rich predatory oligarchy and their agents design and deliver policy via their politicians that many have described as members of the Dark Triad.
The Dark Triad is a cluster of personality disorders that include: narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellian behavior.

From the minds of the Dark Triad: deliberately causing a worldwide oil shortage by waging war.

U.S. policy to maintain domination and profit from the world oil market has included a criminal, destructive war of aggression against Iran and a blockade of oil to the world, resulting in worldwide economic pain and inflation for billions of people. This brutal blockade is one aspect of U.S. policy ultimately designed to contain, confront, and coerce China into submission, thus making war inevitable. Wall Street’s war-mongering policymakers believe the U.S. will rule over the ruins. https://journal-neo.su/2025/11/10/us-plans-for-china-blockade-continue-taking-shape/
The longer the U.S. war against Iran continues, the greater the world’s suffering. The U.S. is continuing its war of aggression, knowing that billions of people worldwide will be plunged into economic crisis while the U.S. oil companies make $ billions in extra profits.

From the minds of the Dark Triad: deliberately prepared to launch a nuclear war.

U.S. policymakers believe that they can control, dominate, and win a nuclear war and are preparing to do so no matter what the level of destruction to humanity and the environment. “The U.S. maximalist nuclear strategy, rooted in the assumption that the United States can dominate at all stages of conventional and nuclear escalation and even win a nuclear war, is a major factor in inducing a false sense of power on the part of decision-makers, leading to Washington’s aggressiveness toward Beijing and Moscow in the present New Cold War. The most likely result of the current Western view that nuclear weapons can be used to achieve political and military ends is that they will indeed end up being used, with the destruction of virtually all of humanity.”

How many live in denial regarding the reality that the core of the political economy is a predatory inhumanity? History clearly shows that all predatory political economies are plagued by war and have been unable to achieve world peace. They never have and they never will. War is built into the DNA of predatory capitalism.

The vast majority of working people can rely on themselves to find a path to peace. Breaking out of the doom loop of wars and world wars requires abandoning illusions and abolishing the predatory economic system and its military-destruction complex. In the society beyond capitalism, there can be no rich and no poor, no debt slavery, no money, no social hierarchy, and no rulers and ruled. All economic and political power can be in the hands of the vast majority, the rank and file, independent of Wall Street’s control. Then society can be sustained by social needs while vigilantly suppressing the Dark Triad. By building a movement now for an egalitarian society, humanity may be able to leave predatory society and war in the dustbin of history.

Soldiers and sailors, students and workers,
Before more of us are broken, it's time to break out!
