JUST WARS AND UNJUST WARS

In history there are only two types of wars:

Just wars and Unjust wars

Wars waged by imperialists for their own interests are unjust wars. U.S. imperialism has attempted 350 coups and carried out 92 coups. Why does U.S. imperialism carry out coups? Why does it conduct operations? Why does it want to create changes of power in other countries?

  • To bring its own collaborators and pro-American forces to power in its neo-colonies.
  • To strengthen relations of dependence on imperialism.
  • To deepen exploitation even more.
  • To prolong the life of collaborator governments.

What is the political aim of U.S. imperialism?

  • To eliminate revolutionary organisations.
  • To reform (neutralise) armed movements.
  • To disperse people’s organisations.
  • To capture minds and remove revolution as a source of hope.

What is the ideological aim of U.S. imperialism?

  • Hostility toward the people, revolution, and socialism.
  • To prevent people’s liberation wars.
  • To erase socialism even from people’s minds.

Despite all its technological and military superiority, U.S. imperialism is historically, politically, ideologically, and class-wise unjust.

U.S. imperialism is in crisis. It cannot rule either its own country or the world as it wishes. Because imperialism is decaying, parasitic, and dying capitalism. U.S. imperialism has been defeated. It is doomed to be defeated in the face of the power of organized and resisting peoples.

Imperialism will be defeated; we will win.

Down with imperialism!

U.S., NATO, and all collaborators of the U.S.: Get out of neo-colonies, Iran, and the Middle East!

Moral / Lesson:

Under the title “Struggle for Lasting Peace,” Mao emphasizes the nature of war:

“History shows that wars are divided into two kinds: just and unjust. All progressive wars are just; all wars that hinder progress are unjust. We communists oppose all unjust wars that hinder progress, but we do not oppose progressive and just wars.”

(Selected Works of Mao, Volume 2, page 277)
